Regenerate Your Own Fat—No Surgery Required
As we age, we lose more than just skin elasticity; we lose the underlying fat pads that give our face and body a youthful, smooth volume. At Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer Renuva®, a groundbreaking “off-the-shelf” injectable that allows you to restore volume using your body’s own natural fat-generating processes—without the need for liposuction or surgery.
What is Renuva?
Renuva is an Allograft Adipose Matrix. Unlike traditional dermal fillers (which use synthetic gels like hyaluronic acid), Renuva is a processed tissue graft that acts as a “scaffold.”
When injected, Renuva creates a honeycomb-like structure that your body populates with its own fat cells. Over the course of a few months, the Renuva matrix is replaced by your own living fat, resulting in a natural-looking volume restoration that can last for years.
Popular Treatment Areas
Renuva is incredibly versatile and is used to treat small-to-medium volume deficits where a natural look is paramount:
- The Face: Softening the temples, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.
- The Hands: Restoring a youthful fullness to the back of the hands to hide prominent veins and tendons.
- Body Contouring: Smoothing out “hip dips,” cellulite dimples, or irregularities left after previous liposuction.
- Depressed Scars: Leveling out indentations from trauma or surgical scars.
Why Choose SIAPS for Renuva?
Because Renuva involves your body’s natural regenerative cycle, the placement must be incredibly precise.
- Expert Anatomical Knowledge: Dr. Jackson and Dr. Grow possess a deep understanding of the body’s fat compartments. This expertise ensures that Renuva is placed exactly where it will thrive and produce the most aesthetic contour.
- A “No-Surgery” Alternative: Many patients want the long-lasting results of fat grafting but aren’t ready for the liposuction required to harvest the fat. We offer Renuva as a powerful, in-office alternative that requires zero downtime.
- The Best of Both Worlds: We often combine Renuva with our other non-surgical offerings—like Botox or Laser Resurfacing—to provide a comprehensive “liquid facelift” that addresses both skin texture and deep volume loss.
- Personalized Consultations: We don’t believe in over-filling. Our goal is to restore what was lost, ensuring you still look like you—just refreshed and rejuvenated.
Renuva vs. Traditional Fillers
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Renuva is a highly regulated tissue product that has been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy. It is derived from donated adipose tissue that has been processed to remove all cells and DNA, leaving only the "matrix" that supports fat growth.
While many patients see a significant difference after one session, some areas may require a series of 1 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired fullness.
You will see an initial "boost" from the injection, which settles over the first week. The true magic happens over the next 3 to 6 months as your body populates the area with its own new fat cells.
Renuva is an in-office "lunchtime" procedure. You may experience minor swelling or redness at the injection site for 24–48 hours, but most patients return to their normal activities immediately.
Because Renuva results in the production of your own fat cells, the results are considered long-term. Unlike fillers that your body metabolizes, your own fat stays with you, though it will still respond to natural weight fluctuations and the aging process.
