Restore your youthful radiance.

Our facial fat transfer procedures are expertly tailored to counter these natural developments. Led by skilled plastic surgeons, our practice specializes in restoring your youthful radiance through minimally invasive techniques that honor your unique beauty.

What is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, often called fat grafting or fat injections, is a cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the face by restoring lost volume and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. This minimally invasive technique involves harvesting small amounts of fat from one area of the body, typically the thighs, abdomen, or hips, and then injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume or developed wrinkles. By using autologous fat (from your body), we minimize the risk of allergic reactions. The transplanted fat cells integrate with your existing tissue, offering lasting results.

The benefits of facial fat transfer

Facial fat transfer offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation:

Long-lasting results: The fat grafts typically provide long-lasting results, ensuring your rejuvenation stands the test of time.
Minimally invasive: With minimal discomfort and downtime, it's a convenient option for facial enhancement.
Natural enhancement: By using your body's fat, this procedure provides a natural and harmonious rejuvenation.
Versatile: It can address various concerns, from nasolabial folds to forehead wrinkles.

Is facial fat transfer right for me?

Facial fat transfer is an incredibly versatile procedure, suitable for a wide range of patients. Those who often benefit the most include:

Individuals seeking natural facial rejuvenation.
Improved facial volume.
Reduced signs of aging without the use of synthetic fillers.

Ideally, you are in good overall health, have adequate excess fat for harvesting, and have specific areas of your face you wish to enhance or restore. During a consultation with our skilled doctors at Muse Plastic Surgery, we will thoroughly assess your unique needs and goals to determine if facial fat transfer is the right choice for you.

The facial fat transfer procedure What to expect

Facial fat transfer involves several key steps. First, through a gentle liposuction technique, we will harvest a small amount of excess fat from a donor site on your body, such as the thighs, abdomen, or hips. This fat is then processed and purified. Next, we will carefully inject this processed fat into specific areas of your face that require volume enhancement, such as the nasolabial folds, lips, under-eye region, temples, and mid-facial cheek area. The procedure is administered using local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. The entire process usually takes a few hours. While some patients may experience mild pain, it is typically well-tolerated due to its minimally invasive approach. It offers a safe and effective method for restoring youthful fullness to your face to create a naturally rejuvenated appearance without extensive surgery.

Facial fat transfer recovery

After a facial fat transfer procedure, you can expect a relatively quick and straightforward recovery process. Some temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort may occur, but these side effects should subside within a few days. Patients can often return to their daily activities within a week, and any residual swelling will improve over the next few weeks. Our team at Muse Plastic Surgery will provide thorough instructions for post-procedure care and may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to manage any discomfort and minimize the risk of infection. We will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and ensure you are healing as expected. You'll see visible improvements in your facial volume and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines as you continue to heal, providing you with a naturally refreshed and more youthful appearance.
