Facial Fat Transfer (Grafting)

What is Facial fat transfer (grafting)?

Facial fat transfer is a natural procedure using your own fat to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate your appearance.

Fat transfer to the face, also known as fat grafting or fat injection to the face, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances facial fullness, smooths wrinkles, and restores a youthful appearance. This technique involves transferring fat from other parts of the patient's body – commonly the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks – to the face. The fat is first extracted using liposuction, then purified and prepared for injection into specific areas of the face. The primary aim is to add volume to areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth, which often lose volume due to aging.

The benefits of fat transfer to the face are multifaceted. It is a natural alternative to synthetic fillers, using the patient's own body fat, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions and ensures biocompatibility. The procedure results in a more natural look and feel, and the results can be long-lasting, sometimes even permanent, unlike temporary filler injections. The dual benefit of removing unwanted fat from other body areas while enhancing facial features makes this a popular choice for those seeking a youthful and balanced aesthetic. However, it's important to note that some of the transferred fat may not survive the transfer process, so the results can vary, and sometimes additional treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. The recovery time is generally minimal, but as with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential side effects, such as swelling, bruising, and asymmetry.

What is Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery covers the reconstruction and reshaping of various structures on the body, the elimination of serious tissue losses and all kinds of aesthetic procedures. Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery are the most well-known parts of plastic surgery. In plastic surgery, there is a common misunderstanding that the word plastic means artificial. Rather the word comes from the ancient Greek word “plastikos” means molding or forming. Reconstructive plastic surgery is a treatment used to heal dysfunctional body parts. It is used primarily to restore function, although it can also change the individual's appearance. Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, techniques and principles are entirely focused on improving the patient's appearance. Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry and proportion are key goals.
