What is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer plumps up facial features with a patient’s fat and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments. Fat transfer to the face is a safe and natural procedure designed to recontour your face and provide definition to your cheeks and chin. It can also be used to correct facial deformities and aging hands. Since the fat transfer is from your own body, there is no risk of an allergic reaction.

Fat Transfer for Facial Contouring

Stubborn fat accumulates and appears on the abdomen, hips, back, and thighs, making it difficult to target with diet and exercise. In an ideal world, fat would remain in the areas where we need it most to maintain a youthful appearance and disappear from the areas where we need it least. As the natural aging process takes its course, our skin shows signs of aging internally and externally.

Fat cells begin to disappear, causing wrinkles, laugh lines, frown lines, sagging skin, and a decreased ability to produce collagen, elastin, and moisture. As fat cells disappear, volume decreases throughout the face. Fat layers in the cheeks begin to shrink, which can create a gaunt or deflated look. Bags under the eyes stick out more, and the skin sags further.

Fortunately, with a fat transfer, we can now remove obstinate fat that the body has accumulated throughout the “trouble areas” and use it to enhance the areas of the body where fat may have been lost due to aging. Fat transfer turns dreams into reality. We all have areas where we have some fat bulges, from the hips to the abdomen. At the same time, we may be worried about our thinning lips, hollow cheeks, or deflated breasts. One procedure conquers it all. Fat transfer can sculpt your body and use that very same fat to restore lost volume or enhance your lips, cheeks, and breasts.

Facial fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure that can restore volume and fullness, which has diminished with age. The patient’s fat is used to plump up facial features and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments. It can cosmetically enhance your face and lips. Fat transfer to the face is a safe and natural procedure designed to contour your face and provide definition to your cheeks and chin. Facial fat transfer is ideal for evening out asymmetrical areas of the face, correcting facial deformities, and adding volume to your lips. In addition to rejuvenating the face, fat transfer can be used for breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, butt implants, and rejuvenating aging hands. Fat transfer aims for your skin to appear more youthful and smooth.

How is Facial Fat Transfer Performed?

Dr. Kassir will harvest the fat using minimally invasive and gentle liposuction techniques to perform fat transfer. Fat can be harvested from areas where excess body fat is carried, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and back. The fat is then processed and precisely injected into the area proposed for treatment, where volume is to be restored or enhanced. Stem Cells and PRP can help enhance fat transfer.

Facial Fat Transfer Recovery

Facial fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure that requires an experienced, highly trained, and superbly skilled plastic surgeon with a keen eye for aesthetics and precision. The surgeon’s techniques play a major role in the outcome, so selecting your surgeon based on credentials, experience, and success rates is important.

With Dr. Kassir, healing time from a facial fat transfer is minimal, and patients may resume their standard activities quickly. Some patients may experience swelling, bruising, soreness, and some redness at the sight of an injection after a fat transfer. However, the results of a fat transfer are fully visible once any and all swelling, bruising, soreness, and redness have subsided.
