Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer can restore lost volume, soften facial contours, and improve facial symmetry. Because the procedure uses the patient’s own tissue, results often look and feel natural. Fat transfer can also improve skin quality in treated areas and may be combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Ideal candidates for facial fat transfer are individuals experiencing volume loss or hollowing in the face who desire a natural approach to facial enhancement. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have sufficient donor fat available. Facial fat transfer is often performed alongside procedures such as facelift, blepharoplasty, or brow lift.

Facial fat transfer may be used to enhance the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, lips, jawline, and other areas affected by volume loss. Treatment areas are customized based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Facial fat transfer involves harvesting a small amount of fat from a donor area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using gentle liposuction techniques. The fat is then carefully processed and strategically injected into targeted areas of the face to restore volume and contour. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and recovery varies depending on the extent of treatment. Results develop gradually as swelling subsides and transferred fat integrates into the surrounding tissues.

As with any surgical procedure, you will need to plan some time off to take it easy. You will experience a bit some swelling and bruising after a breast lift. A support bra will help with any swelling and should be worn 24 hours a day. This is an important part of your recovery, as it will support your breasts while healing. Most patients feel up to returning to non-strenuous activities in about a week. A breast lift can be a transformative procedure.
