What is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, often called fat transfer or fat injection, is a procedure that extracts fat from one part of the body and injects it into chosen facial areas for enhancement. This technique restores volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours using the patient’s own fat cells. The procedure typically involves liposuction to collect the fat, purification of the harvested fat, and precise injection into targeted facial areas. The result is a natural, youthful appearance with long-lasting effects. Facial fat grafting addresses the following signs of aging and facial volume loss:

  • Hollow cheeks and temples
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Sunken under-eye areas
  • Thin or uneven lips
  • General facial contouring

How Could Facial Fat Grafting Benefit You?

Facial fat grafting offers numerous advantages for those seeking to enhance their facial appearance. This procedure provides immediate results and also offers long-term benefits due to the use of natural fat cells. Key benefits include the following:

  • Natural-looking results, as the procedure uses the patient’s own fat
  • Long-lasting effects compared to synthetic fillers
  • Improvement in texture and tone due to the regenerative properties of fat cells
  • Minimally invasive with minimal scarring
  • Versatility in treating multiple areas of the face

  2. Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from the donor area with liposuction.
  3. Purification of Fat Cells: The harvested fat is processed and purified to ensure only healthy fat cells are used for injection.
  4. Injection: The purified fat is meticulously injected into the targeted facial areas to achieve the desired contour and volume.
  5. Completion: The treated areas are carefully monitored, and a follow-up plan is established to ensure optimal results.

After the Procedure

Recovery from facial fat grafting is typically smooth and manageable. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort in both the donor and treated areas. These symptoms usually subside within a few days to weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, with strenuous activities avoided for about two weeks. The final results, revealing fuller and more youthful facial contours, become more apparent as the swelling subsides over a few months. Dr. Caniglia and our diligent staff will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and help ensure the best possible outcome.
