What is Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Facial fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure where fat is transferred from one area of the body to the face to restore lost volume.
  • The fat is usually harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs and then injected into the face.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Individuals who have lost facial volume due to aging or have a natural deficiency in facial fat.
  • Those who have tried dermal fillers and are seeking a more permanent solution.
  • People who have sufficient fat available in donor sites on their bodies.

How is Fat Harvested for Facial Fat Grafting?

What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?

  • It provides a natural-looking restoration of facial volume.
  • The results are typically long-lasting since the fat cells integrate into the facial tissues.

How Long Do the Results of Facial Fat Grafting Last?

  • The results can be permanent, although some fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time.
  • Follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired effect.

What Conditions Can Facial Fat Grafting Address?

  • Facial aging signs such as hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and deep nasolabial folds.
  • It can also be used to correct congenital or traumatic facial deformities.

How Does Facial Fat Grafting Compare to Dermal Fillers?

  • Fat grafting provides a more permanent solution compared to dermal fillers, which are temporary.
  • Fat grafting uses the patient’s own tissue, making it  more natural.

Can Facial Fat Grafting Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Yes, it is often combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelifts, neck lifts, or blepharoplasty for enhanced results.

What Should I Expect During the Initial Consultation for Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Pre-procedure photographs may be taken, and the surgeon will discuss your goals and the expected outcomes.

What Precautions Should Be Taken Before Undergoing Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Smoking should be avoided as it can hinder the healing process.

What Are the Postoperative Care Instructions After Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Patients may need to avoid strenuous activities and follow specific instructions for wound care.
  • Compression garments may be recommended for the donor site, and cold compresses may be used to reduce swelling in the grafted areas.
