Could facial fat transfer be right for you?

In this procedure, natural fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs and injected into regions of the face that have lost volume. This can help fill in hollows, smooth wrinkles, and create a more youthful appearance. In addition, facial fat grafting can be used to improve the results of other procedures, such as facelift or eyelid surgery. If you are concerned about volume loss in your face, facial fat grafting may be a good option for you.

What to Expect During Your Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer combines artistry with precision to restore natural volume. The procedure typically involves:

  • Fat Harvesting: Small amounts of fat are collected from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using gentle liposuction techniques.
  • Purification: The harvested fat is carefully processed to ensure only healthy cells are used, maximizing long-term results.
  • Facial Injection: The purified fat is strategically injected into areas of volume loss to smooth wrinkles, enhance contours, and restore youthful fullness.
  • Procedure Details: Facial fat transfer is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes approximately 1–2 hours depending on the areas treated.

Our surgeons in San Jose and Palo Alto ensure precise placement and subtle enhancement for natural, harmonious results.

When Will I See Results from Facial Fat Transfer?

While initial results are visible immediately after treatment, it takes time for swelling to subside and for the transferred fat to fully integrate. Here’s a typical timeline for patients in San Jose and Palo Alto:

  • Immediately after: Mild swelling is expected; initial volume restoration is noticeable
  • 2–4 weeks: Swelling diminishes, and facial contours begin to settle into a natural appearance
  • 3–6 months: Final results become apparent as the transferred fat fully integrates, providing long-lasting fullness and smooth contours

What is the recovery from facial fat grafting?

After the procedure, patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and redness in the treatment area. However, these side effects are usually temporary and will resolve within a few weeks. It is important to avoid putting any pressure on the treated area during recovery to promote proper healing. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days after the procedure.
