Rejuvenate Your Facial Contours
Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a safe and effective procedure that addresses volume loss in the face due to aging. By harvesting fat from areas like the hips, thighs, or abdomen, and injecting it into hollowed or sunken areas of the face, we restore a youthful and natural look. This technique is ideal for enhancing the entire face, including the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and evaluate your facial structure. Our surgeons discuss the procedure and develop a personalized plan to restore volume and rejuvenate your appearance.
Preparation for your facial fat transfer includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.
Fat is first harvested from donor areas such as the hips, thighs, or abdomen using gentle liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into targeted facial areas using specialized cannulas or needles. This multilayered approach ensures precise sculpting and natural-looking results.
After the procedure, patients may experience puffiness, swelling, bruising, or redness, which typically subside over several weeks. It is important to avoid sun exposure until these symptoms have resolved. Minimal discomfort is expected and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can resume exercise and work within a few days, and the integrated fat cells provide permanent results.

There is minimal downtime or recovery following a facial fat transfer. The face may appear puffy or swollen at first, but this will fade over the course of several weeks. Bruising or redness may also occur. Patients should stay out of the sun until redness and bruising have subsided. There is typically minimal discomfort after the facial fat transfer and is well controlled with the prescribed pain medication. Down time after surgery is minimal, as exercise and work can often be resumed within a few days. Once the transferred fat cells have successfully integrated into their areas of injection, the results are permanent.
Although rare, there are always risks with surgery. Dr. Song aims to provide you with only the best possible outcome with your procedure, but some potential issues are:
Fat is first harvested from the donor area using gentle liposuction techniques. Common donor areas include the hips, thighs, and primarily the abdomen. Once the fat is removed, it is then purified to distill the small fat goblets appropriate for facial injection. The purified fat is then carefully injected into targeted areas, often in a multilayered fashion, using specialized cannulas or needles. Through a layered and meticulous approach the three dimensional volume rejuvenation can occur.
Good candidates are in good general health and are realistic in their expectations. Fat transfer is often a good alternative to injectable fillers for those seeking a natural, longer-lasting result. Patients must have sufficient excess fat to serve as donor fat.
Among the skeletal and soft tissue changes of the face with aging, volume loss can occur and result in changes in appearance hollowed eyes, sunken cheek, and facial sagging. Facial Fat Grafting or Transfer is a very safe procedure in which fat is taken from an area of excesses like the hips, thighs, or abdomen and then injected into areas of the face to restore a more youthful appearance. Results are natural and long-lasting. Facial Fat Transfer can be used on the entire face.
