For those who want a less-invasive alternative to facial implants, fat grafting can allow you to fill out hollow areas of the face by removing fat from one area of the body and transferring it to areas of the face that could benefit from additional volume. The benefit is that it is your own tissue, provides long-lasting results, and can even be done in the office.
Facial fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat, leading to natural-looking outcomes that integrate seamlessly with facial features.
Transferred fat cells can provide enduring volume restoration and rejuvenation, offering sustained improvement over time.
Fat grafting can address various concerns such as volume loss, wrinkles, and contour irregularities, providing comprehensive facial rejuvenation with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, involves harvesting fat from one part of the body (typically via liposuction) and injecting it into areas of the face to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and enhance contours.
The results of facial fat grafting can vary from person to person, but generally, the transferred fat cells can integrate into the surrounding tissue and provide long-lasting volume restoration and rejuvenation.
When performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon at 22 Plastic Surgery, facial fat grafting is considered a safe procedure.
Since it uses the patient’s own fat, there is a minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Facial fat grafting can be used to address various areas of the face, including the cheeks, temples, jawline, lips, and under-eye hollows, to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and enhance contours.
The recovery process after facial fat grafting can vary, but generally, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas for a few days to weeks.
It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon to optimize healing and results.
