Facial plastic surgery offers more than a refreshed look—it restores confidence and vitality through advanced techniques designed to enhance, not alter. Facial fat transfer is the ultimate luxury in subtle rejuvenation, using your own body’s resources to achieve harmony and refinement.

Facial fat transfer gently replenishes volume in the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, and jawline, softening hollow areas and enhancing facial balance without appearing overdone.

Unlike dermal fillers, transferred fat becomes a natural part of your facial structure. Many results last years, offering elegant enhancement that evolves with you.

Every treatment is uniquely customized. Our surgeon sculpts with precision to elevate your natural features—never masking them—so the results feel as personal as they look.
It’s normal to have questions before a procedure. If you have additional questions or concerns, book a consultation today.
Facial fat transfer involves gently harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs and strategically injecting it into the face to restore lost volume. The procedure combines liposuction and microfat grafting, resulting in soft, natural facial rejuvenation.
Fat transfer offers longer-lasting, more organic results for many patients. While fillers are temporary and synthetic, fat is your body’s own tissue—making it biocompatible and capable of delivering subtle, enduring improvement with less risk of reaction.
Ideal candidates have areas of facial volume loss—often in the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, or jawline—and sufficient fat reserves for harvesting. It’s a preferred option for those seeking natural alternatives to fillers or traditional lifts.
Mild swelling and bruising at both the donor and injection sites are common and typically subside within 7–10 days. You can expect to resume most normal activities within a week, though final results gradually improve over several months as the fat integrates.
Some reabsorption is normal, which is why our surgeon carefully accounts for this in the initial transfer. A majority of the fat typically survives long-term, providing natural-looking volume for years to come.
