Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, has become a very popular method of facial rejuvenation, restoring loss of volume with your own natural fat cells. The primary benefit of the procedure is that is uses your own fat, rich in adipose stem cells that aid in natural regeneration.


How long does fat grafting last?

While injectable dermal fillers are highly popular, provide a beautiful result, and take minutes to administer, they are reabsorbed by the body over time and must be reapplied. Facial fat transfers have the potential to produce long-lasting facial enhancements.

For superior results in natural fat grafting, fat harvesting demands a high degree of skill and biologic mastery. Our doctors lead the medical field with their state-of-the-art private plastic surgery center and are highly accredited for all the procedures they perform.

Facial rejuvenation with natural fat for long-lasting results

Some of the fat transferred will naturally be reabsorbed during the first two months after the procedure and a bit more within the first six months. However, the transferred fat is living tissue and the fat that flourishes after transfer will become an organic part of the area treated. A large part of the success of the outcome depends upon the experience, techniques, and advanced technology used in the procedure. Our double board-certified plastic surgeons are meticulous, dedicated, and experienced. They know how much fat to inject and the best practices foster maximum cell survival.
