FACIAL FAT TRANSFER
Facial Fat Transfer
Wrinkles, sagging, and hollowness can become more noticeable with age. Facial fat transfer at our Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery practice is a great way to restore volume and achieve a beautifully rejuvenated look.
Facial fat transfer, or facial grafting, works by transferring fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the face to smooth wrinkles and add volume. Some common areas to remove fat are the belly, thighs, back, or buttocks. Facial fat transfer can be performed on its own or combined with another type of facial plastic surgery.
Successful facial fat transfer requires a plastic surgeon who has a deep understanding of facial anatomy. With a proven track record in facial aesthetics, Dr. Sean has performed numerous surgical rejuvenation procedures. You can count on him to provide exceptional results that are tailored to your individual needs.
Is Facial Fat Transfer Right For Me?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sean will assess your facial anatomy and skin elasticity to determine if facial fat transfer is suitable for you. In general, patients should have ample fat in the donor area and realistic expectations about this procedure’s outcomes.
Ideal candidates are experiencing facial volume loss, which often occurs in the mid to late twenties. If you are unsatisfied with the contour, projection, or shape of specific facial structures like the cheeks, forehead, and chin, facial fat transfer may be right for you. Common concerns may include:
- You have areas on your face that appear creased or sunken
- You’re looking to enhance facial volume, fill in depressions, or minimize the appearance of scars
- You’re searching for a longer-lasting solution than temporary fillers
Facial Fat Transfer Benefits
Facial fat transfer has a variety of advantages, including:
- Long-lasting effects: Fat cells are physically redistributed, making facial fat transfer a more permanent alternative to injectables.
- Improves sagging: This technique rejuvenates sagging skin by restoring volume. It can also complement a facelift for more comprehensive anti-aging benefits.
- Enhances facial contours: Injecting fat into targeted areas like the cheeks, temples, or jawline creates a more harmonious facial structure.
- Minimally invasive: Facial fat transfer involves tiny incisions and minimal downtime. This makes it an appealing option for those who aren’t quite ready for a major plastic surgery procedure.
What To Expect
Facial fat transfer is typically performed under a light anesthetic. Immediately after this cosmetic surgery, you may notice more fullness in the face. This is a normal side effect and will subside after recovery. In most cases, patients return to work after three to seven days and resume physical activity in two weeks. Dr. Sean and his team provide all patients with a detailed follow-up care plan, along with follow-up appointments.
Facial fat transfer is designed for long-lasting results. However, aging and weight fluctuations can still have an impact on your appearance. Maintaining a consistent self-care routine is recommended for optimal outcomes.
