What is Facial Fat Transfer?

Many people seek non-surgical procedures to help improve and maintain their youthful look. Facial fat transfer, also referred to as facial fat grafting, is a procedure that offers an alternative to more invasive injectable treatments with long-term results. During the process, fat is removed from one area of the body via a small incision and then purified and injected into areas of the face where volume has been lost as we age.

Facial fat transfer can dramatically improve aesthetic appearance by improving contours and restoring facial volume, resulting in a more youthful appearance that lasts for years. With natural-looking results and no risk of an allergic reaction, facial fat transfer is becoming popular for those who want longer-lasting effects with minimal downtime.

What is the recovery for facial fat grafting?

After a facial fat transfer, the most common side effects are minimal swelling, bruising, and pain. This is simply part of the healing process. The swelling will peak the days after your procedure but should subside to a more comfortable level by the week's end. Using cold compresses is an effective way to manage any increase in inflammation or pain. Regarding engaging in activity, patients should plan for a week or so spent at home with minimal exertion before slowly working back into their routine; anything deemed strenuous should be delayed until otherwise instructed by your doctor.
