Face Fat Grafting

Face fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer or microlipoinjection, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing facial volume and contour by transferring fat from one part of the body to the face. The procedure typically begins with the removal of fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction. The harvested fat is carefully purified to remove impurities and excess fluids, often using centrifugation or filtration techniques. This purification process ensures that only healthy fat cells are retained for injection. The surgeon then uses a fine cannula to meticulously inject the purified fat into targeted facial areas, such as the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows, to achieve the desired aesthetic improvements.

Post-procedure, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort in both the donor and recipient sites. Recovery typically spans a few weeks, with most swelling subsiding within the first two weeks. During this time, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow specific aftercare instructions provided by the surgeon to optimize healing and fat survival. The results of face fat grafting are long-lasting, as the grafted fat integrates into the surrounding tissues, but a portion of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. Therefore, follow-up treatments might be recommended to maintain the desired outcome. Overall, face fat grafting offers a natural and enduring solution for facial rejuvenation and volume restoration.
