Fat transfer to the face is a procedure designed to restore volume and rejuvenate areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. Over time, natural fat stores in the face diminish, leading to hollow cheeks, sunken under-eyes, and more prominent facial lines. The procedure begins with liposuction to gently harvest fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then purified and carefully re-injected into targeted areas of the face needing volume. Fat transfer to the face helps smooth out deep lines, restore youthful contours, and create a softer, more refreshed appearance. It can be performed on its own or in conjunction with a facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation—addressing both volume loss and skin laxity in a single procedure. This treatment can also be performed under awake local anesthesia, offering a more comfortable experience with quicker recovery and minimal risk of post-operative nausea. It is ideal for individuals seeking natural, long-lasting results without the use of synthetic fillers or implants. Recovery is generally minimal, and because your own fat is used, there’s little to no risk of allergic reaction.
