A fat transfer is a great option if you want to add natural-looking volume to specific places in your face. A facial fat transfer can improve wrinkles, like Crow's feet and smile lines. Fat transfer may also reduce the appearance of acne scars and sunken areas of your face. You can also add volume to your lips and cheeks for a more youthful look. Providing results much like a dermal filler, a fat transfer is a good option if you want your results to last for much longer. To qualify for a facial fat transfer, you need to have enough excess fat on your body to meet your cosmetic goals.

Facial fat transfer makes the skin more supple and adds volume to the complexion while tightening your figure. Instead of using a dermal filler, we inject purified fat from another part of your body into your face. Our team will start by cleaning the treatment areas and administering anesthesia. After your skin is numb, we will use a cannula to remove fat from the unwanted area, such as the leg or tummy. Once we have extracted the fat, we purify and place it into the desired parts of the face. This will slim a part of your body, add volume to the face, and reduce wrinkles.

Before your treatment, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Also, we will help you schedule a follow-up appointment so we can assess your healing and progress. Based on the amount of fat that we removed and transferred, your recovery time will vary. You should plan a couple of weeks to rest and recover. At first, you may experience some discomfort, like bruising and swelling near the treatment site. You might see some improvements right away, but it will take a few weeks before seeing your final results. A small amount of fat may be reabsorbed, but with appropriate maintenance, your improvements should last for several years.

Should I get a dermal filler or a facial fat transfer?
Both a fat transfer to the face and an injectable dermal filler (for example, Restylane® and JUVÉDERM®) can correct the visibility of lines and static wrinkles as well as add volume. While wrinkle fillers can give you beautiful results, a fat transfer typically lasts longer and looks more natural. To help you decide how much fat you want to be added and where, Dr. Navarkal may recommend using dermal fillers first. Once you've decided what you want, Dr. Navarkal can perform a facial fat transfer for long-lasting results.

Can facial fat grafting be combined with another procedure?
Yes, it can. A fat transfer to the face may be combined with a nonsurgical treatment such as BOTOX® ( a wrinkle relaxer) or another facial treatment. Facial fat grafting has also become a good way to enhance another cosmetic surgery. A facial fat transfer will add volume that helps to improve the balance and proportion of your face during a facelift, chin implant, or cheek implants. Talk to Dr. Navarkal in your consultation about your needs and wants so he can develop a comprehensive plan with surgical and nonsurgical treatments that reach all your cosmetic goals.

How long does a facial fat transfer take?
The length of time needed for your facial fat graft will vary depending on how much fat is being taken, plus the volume required to reach your goals. Once your plan is developed in your initial consultation, Dr. Navarkal will discuss what you can expect, like how long it will take. Dr. Navarkal takes his time carefully injecting thin layers of fat with advanced techniques — so your results look stunningly natural.

Which areas of the face can be improved with fat grafting?
Fat grafting may be used in several areas to add volume or reduce lines. Fat grafting is ideal to enhance the mid-face or cheeks so that this area looks lifted and fuller without surgery. In addition, transferred fat can also be used to add volume to your upper and/or lower lips. You can also use a fat transfer to improve the sunken or hollow under-eye areas. Facial fat grafting may also treat acne scars and static wrinkles (brow furrows, marionette lines). Dr. Navarkal will create your personal treatment plan to address your needs and aesthetic goals.
