What is a Facial Fat Transfer?

A Facial Fat Transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one area of your body, purifying it, and then injecting it into specific areas of the face. This treatment is ideal for those looking to add volume to their cheeks, lips, under-eye area, or other facial regions that have lost fullness over time.

How the Procedure Works:

1. Fat Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from a donor area of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, through a process called liposuction.
2. Fat Purification: The harvested fat is processed and purified to ensure that only the best quality fat cells are used for the transfer.
3. Fat Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the targeted areas of the face to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contours.

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfers

Facial Fat Transfers offer several benefits for those seeking a natural and long-lasting facial rejuvenation option:

• Natural Results: Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results are natural-looking and blend seamlessly with your existing facial features.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Fat transfers provide long-lasting results, as the transferred fat cells establish a blood supply and integrate with the surrounding tissue.
• Minimal Risk of Allergic Reaction: Because the procedure uses your own fat, there is a minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
• Dual Benefits: In addition to enhancing facial volume, fat transfers also help contour the donor area where the fat was harvested, providing a slimming effect.

What to Expect During Your Facial Fat Transfer

1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with our experienced doctors. We will discuss your goals, assess your facial structure, and determine the most suitable donor area for fat harvesting.
2. Procedure: The fat transfer procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. The process involves fat harvesting, purification, and careful injection into the targeted facial areas. The procedure usually takes a few hours, depending on the extent of treatment.
3. Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience some swelling and bruising in both the donor and treatment areas. These effects are temporary and should subside within a week or two. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days.
4. Results: The initial results will be visible once the swelling subsides, with full results becoming apparent over the following weeks as the fat cells establish themselves. The results are long-lasting, though some patients may require touch-up treatments for optimal outcomes.

Aftercare

Depending on the details of the surgery, you can expect the following during recovery:
