Fat Grafting to the Face

What Is Fat Grafting to the Face?

Fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of your body, purifying it, and injecting it into specific areas of the face to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contours. This minimally invasive technique is a natural alternative to dermal fillers, offering more permanent and biocompatible results.
The procedure can address various concerns, including:
• Hollow cheeks
• Sunken under-eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of facial fat due to aging or weight loss
• Enhancing facial symmetry and balance

Types of Fat Used in Facial Grafting

The success of fat grafting depends on selecting and processing the harvested fat for optimal integration. By combining these fat types, Dr. Vikesh Vij ensures a personalized approach to address each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Different types of fat are used depending on the treatment area:

The Fat Grafting Procedure

The fat grafting process involves three main steps and is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure:

Fat Harvesting

Fat is carefully harvested from a donor area such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using gentle liposuction techniques to preserve the integrity of fat cells.

Fat Purification

The harvested fat is processed using advanced filtration or centrifugation methods to remove impurities, leaving behind pure, healthy fat cells ready for transfer.

3. Fat Injection

The purified fat is meticulously injected into targeted areas of the face using a fine cannula. Dr. Vij strategically places the fat to achieve natural contours, volume restoration, and facial symmetry

Recovery and Results

Recovery from fat grafting is usually quick and straightforward. Here’s what to expect:

  • Day 1-3: Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in both the donor and treatment areas, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

  • 1 Week: Most swelling subsides, and you can resume light activities.

  • 2-4 Weeks: Noticeable improvements in facial volume and contour.

  • 3-6 Months: Final results become apparent as the transferred fat integrates with the surrounding tissues.
