Restoring Volume with Facial Fat Transfer
Volume loss in the face is one of the most noticeable signs of aging. Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to restore lost volume and enhance facial anatomy naturally. By harvesting fat cells from areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, and strategically injecting the fat into targeted areas of the face and forehead, this treatment provides long-lasting and youthful results.

Why You Should Consider Fat Transfer?
Also called autologous fat transfer, this innovative technique rejuvenates the face and neck by redistributing your body’s own fat cells. Candidates for facial fat transfer treatment include those in good general health who have experienced volume loss due to aging. Common areas treated include:
- Hollows beneath the cheekbones
- Under-eye depressions
- Lines around the mouth, such as marionette lines or frown lines
This procedure offers a natural alternative to dermal fillers, with the added benefit of lower risk and long-lasting results.

Step-by-Step Guide to Facial Fat Transfer
The Consultation
The Procedure
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment.
- Fat is gently removed via liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs.
- The harvested fat is purified and prepared for injection.
- Using fine cannulas, the fat injections are placed in targeted areas like the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes to enhance volume and smooth wrinkles.
Aftercare
- A small dressing is applied to the injection sites and donor site for protection.
- Expect mild swelling and pain at both locations, which typically subside within a few days.
- Dr. Ardesh will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and recovery.
Healing Stages and Recovery
Facial fat transfer involves minimal downtime, allowing most patients to return to work or daily activities within a few days. The healing stages include:
- Days 1-3: Initial swelling and minor bruising at the injection and donor sites.
- Week 1: Removal of sutures from the donor site if necessary.
- Weeks 2-4: Swelling continues to subside, revealing your enhanced facial volume and contours.
