The procedure typically begins with liposuction to remove fat from an area of the body such as the belly, hips, or thighs. The fat is then processed and purified before being carefully injected into the face using a tiny needle. The fat is injected in small amounts, strategically placed to enhance facial features and restore volume to areas that have lost it due to aging or other factors.
Facial fat transfer can be used to enhance the cheeks, lips, temples, and under-eye area. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically done under local anesthesia, meaning you will be awake during the procedure.
The procedure can take between one and three hours, depending on the areas being treated, and recovery typically takes between one and two weeks.
Facial fat transfer is a natural way to enhance your appearance, it can provide a more youthful, refreshed and natural-looking result.
