FACIAL FAT GRAFTING

Crafted around you

What is a Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, also called fat transfer or autologous fat injection, is a procedure that harvests your own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, then carefully injects it into the face to restore volume and create a fuller, more youthful appearance. Unlike synthetic fillers (which require repeated treatments), fat grafting uses your body’s own tissue.

Some of the transplanted fat becomes permanent, creating lasting rejuvenation. It’s ideal for restoring volume to the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, jawline, and lips.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

An informed decision is a confident one

What Should You Know Before Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting creates beautiful results with natural-looking volume. Here’s what to expect:

01

Not all fat survives

Typically 50-70% of injected fat becomes permanent. Some surgeons overfill slightly to account for this reabsorption. Results continue to improve over 3-6 months.

02

Swelling is significant at first

Initial volume appears larger due to swelling. Your final results emerge over several weeks as swelling decreases.

03

You get your own tissue

Unlike synthetic fillers, your body won’t reject its own fat. Results are permanent for the fat that survives.

04

This works with other procedures

Fat grafting pairs beautifully with Blepharoplasty, Facelift, or other facial rejuvenation procedures.

05

Know the rare risks

When done well, fat grafting looks completely natural, not overfilled or synthetic-looking. The face looks refreshed and youthful, not obviously “done.” Know the risk.

06

Results continue improving for months

Don’t judge final results for 3-6 months. Swelling settles and results stabilize over this time.

Your own natural volume

Facial Fat Grafting

Natural Facial Rejuvenation

Facial fat grafting uses fat harvested from another area of your body, carefully processed, and transferred to targeted areas of the face. It can help restore volume in the cheeks, temples, and areas affected by facial hollowing, creating softer contours while maintaining your natural features. Because your own fat is used, the treatment offers an alternative to synthetic dermal fillers. Results vary, and some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed over time.

Personalized Volume & Contouring

Your treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy, volume needs, and aesthetic goals. Fat is typically collected through gentle liposuction, processed, and strategically injected into selected areas. Facial fat grafting may be performed on its own or alongside other facial procedures when appropriate. Your surgeon will discuss expected results, recovery, potential risks, and whether additional treatment may be needed to achieve your desired outcome.
