Facial Fat Grafting / Lipofilling

What is Facial Fat Grafting / Lipofilling?

Facial fat grafting, also called lipofilling, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours using the patient’s own fat. It is an ideal solution for areas like cheeks, under-eyes, lips, and nasolabial folds that have lost fullness due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. By using your own fat, the procedure provides a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation without the risk of allergic reactions.

The Facial Fat Grafting Procedure

During the procedure, fat is gently harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction techniques. The collected fat is then purified and strategically injected into targeted facial areas to restore volume and improve contours. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. Fat grafting not only adds volume but can also improve skin quality over time due to regenerative properties in the fat cells.

Recovery and Results

Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary tenderness are common for 1–2 weeks. Patients can typically return to work within 3–5 days and resume normal activities in about a week. Some of the transferred fat may be naturally reabsorbed, so final results become apparent over 2–3 months once the fat settles. With proper care, results can last several years, giving a refreshed, youthful, and natural facial appearance.
