What is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, involves harvesting fat from areas of the body where it is abundant, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and carefully injecting it into specific areas of the face. This minimally invasive procedure addresses volume loss due to aging, enhances facial contours, and smooths out wrinkles and fine lines. Using your body's own fat ensures natural-looking and feeling results. The transferred fat integrates with existing tissues, providing enduring enhancement. 

Facial Fat Grafting Overview

Facial Fat Grafting Combined with Other Procedures

Combining facial fat grafting with other surgical procedures can amplify the rejuvenating effects and provide comprehensive facial enhancement.

  • Facelift: By integrating facial fat grafting with a facelift, patients can achieve a more youthful and fuller appearance. The facelift addresses sagging skin, while fat grafting restores volume in specific areas, ensuring a balanced and natural look.
  • Neck Lift: A neck lift tightens and smooths the neck area, and when combined with facial fat grafting, it can enhance the overall harmony between the face and neck. The end result is a refreshed, youthful look.
  • Facial Rejuvenation Procedures: Fat grafting complements other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as eyelid surgery or brow lifts, by adding volume and enhancing the overall outcome. Addressing all areas of the face at once can provide a harmonious outcome, leading to a well-rounded result.

Ideal candidates for facial fat grafting include individuals who:

  • Experience Volume Loss: Have noticeable volume loss in the face due to aging or other factors.
