Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure where fat is harvested from one area of the body and injected into the face to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. This natural approach rejuvenates the face by using the patient's own fat, providing long-lasting results with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is an ideal option for individuals seeking to enhance facial volume, correct asymmetry, and rejuvenate their appearance using their body's natural fat. You may be a good candidate for fat transfer if you:
Desire to restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, or lips
Have deep facial creases or hollow areas that could benefit from additional volume
Want to achieve natural-looking results without the use of synthetic fillers
Have sufficient donor fat available for harvesting
Are in good overall health and do not have any contraindications to surgery
Fat transfer can effectively enhance various areas of the face, including:
Cheeks
Temples
Lips
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Jawline
Tear troughs
Dr. Schwarcz will customize the treatment plan based on your specific concerns and aesthetic goals to achieve natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
Dr. Schwarcz will conduct a comprehensive evaluation during your consultation to determine if fat transfer is the right option for you based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
While fat transfer offers significant benefits for many individuals, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Have unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment
Do not have sufficient donor fat available for harvesting
Have medical conditions that could increase the risks of surgery
Are unable to undergo surgery due to medical reasons
Dr. Schwarcz will carefully assess your medical history and condition during your consultation to ensure that fat transfer is safe and appropriate for you.
Fat transfer is performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment and patient preference. The procedure involves three main steps:
Harvesting: Dr. Schwarcz will carefully harvest excess fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks using liposuction techniques.
Purification: The harvested fat is processed in a centrifuge to remove impurities and excess fluids, leaving behind only healthy fat cells.
Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the desired areas of the face using precise techniques to achieve optimal volume and contouring.
The procedure typically takes several hours to complete, depending on the areas being treated and the amount of fat transferred.
Following fat transfer, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the donor and treatment areas. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days to a week. You can expect to resume your normal activities within a week, although strenuous exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks.
Most patients notice initial improvements in facial volume and contouring immediately after the procedure, with continued enhancement as swelling resolves and the transferred fat settles into place. Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help facilitate your recovery and optimize results.
