Facial Fat Transfer: Your Body’s Power to Turn Back the Clock

Although fat grafting requires your surgeon to use the full breadth of their skill, the procedure can be broken down into two basic steps: harvesting the fat and injecting the fat. Both of these steps can be performed in the comfort of our office, using either local or general anesthesia.

  • Harvesting Fat from Other Body Parts: Through the precision application of liposuction, excess fat is gently harvested from predetermined areas of your body.
  • Strategic Injection and Sculpting: Your surgeon then carefully injects the harvested fat into targeted areas of the face or other regions where additional volume or contour is desired. In this way, the surgeon artfully restores your plump, youthful contour.

A Permanent Change

Unlike synthetic facial fillers, fat grafting offers the unique advantage of permanent results. Using your body's natural filler ensures results that evolve naturally with your changing body and face, standing the test of time.

Minimize Your Risk

In comparison to traditional plastic surgery, fat grafting minimizes risks associated with more invasive incisions, anesthesia, and healing time. The natural-looking and feeling results adapt to your body changes, providing a seamless and harmonious aesthetic journey.

Facial Fat Transfer FAQ

How long do the results of a facial fat transfer last?

Facial fat transfer offers long-lasting results, as the transferred fat cells that survive become a permanent part of the facial tissue. However, natural aging and weight fluctuations may affect the longevity of the results over time.

Can facial fat transfer be combined with other procedures?

Yes, facial fat transfer is often combined with other procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or non-surgical treatments like laser resurfacing to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Can facial fat transfer improve skin texture?

Yes, the stem cells present in fat tissue can rejuvenate the skin, improving elasticity, texture, and overall quality. This is an added benefit of using fat over synthetic fillers.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is minimally invasive, and any discomfort is typically mild. Local anesthesia or sedation ensures comfort during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with medication.

How much fat is needed for facial fat transfer?

Only a small amount of fat is needed—typically 10-50cc, depending on the treatment areas. Even thin patients usually have enough fat in donor areas like the abdomen or thighs.
