Fat Grafting
With time you may experience loss of facial volume. Our skilled plastic surgeons can combat signs of aging with fat injections, giving you a rejuvenated appearance and natural results.
What are facial fat grafting?
Fat is removed from donor sites, including the abdomen, hips, or buttocks, and harvested for transfer to the face. Your surgeon will then strategically inject the fat into your face, giving you a fuller, more youthful appearance. This procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with other procedures, like a facelift.
The body typically resorbs 30-40% of the volume grafted early on. Unlike with fillers, the volume restored with fat grafting lasts forever, once the initial resorption and swelling settle after three months.
- Improved, rejuvenated facial contours
- A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Long-lasting, natural results
