Facial Fat
Transfer

Naturally restores lost facial volume using your own tissue.

Facial aging is almost always accompanied by a progressive, generalized loss of volume. In many cases, fat grafting is considered a key component in managing volume changes, softening contours, and creating smooth transitions across facial compartments.

Fat tissue is harvested from a donor area through a minimally invasive technique, carefully processed, and micro-injected with precision into selected facial planes. Once integrated, the fat tissue behaves naturally, expanding or contracting alongside overall weight fluctuations.

Candidates for Clinical Evaluation

You may be a candidate for evaluation if you present with:

  • Visible volume loss around cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows.
  • Hollowed or gaunt features due to age, genetics, or weight loss.
  • A stable body weight and realistic surgical expectations.

Outcomes of Facial Lipofilling

  • Smooths visible hollows such as dark circles and sunken temples.
  • Restores structural support to areas affected by age-related volume loss.
  • Integrated fat cells provide long-lasting, natural enhancement.

Recovery Timeline

  • ■ Typically 7 to 10 days before returning to regular daily activities.
  • ■ Generally 3 to 4 weeks for the majority of swelling to decrease significantly.
  • ■ Initial swelling and mild bruising are normal expected processes.
  • ■ Visible volume improvement from the start with progressive stabilization over time.

Inherent Surgical Risks

  • ■ Postoperative swelling (edema).
  • ■ Mild asymmetry.
  • ■ Partial fat reabsorption.

Personalized Consultation

Every face ages uniquely. A personalized clinical assessment is essential to determine if facial fat transfer is the ideal approach for you and how to integrate it into a overall rejuvenation strategy.
