Introduction
About Fat Transfer to Face
As you age, you may find that your face doesn’t have the youthful volume it used to. Over time, we tend to lose the fat pads that give the face shape, resulting in a gaunt, wrinkled look. These changes rarely reflect the youthful energy, vibrancy, and vigor you feel inside, which can be disheartening. Although the facelift is one of the most well-known ways to correct an aging face, not everyone wants one. Fat transfer to the face, also known as facial fat grafting or facial fat transfer, is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes your own fat to reduce wrinkles and fill sunken areas. It involves extracting healthy fat cells from a donor area, purifying them, and injecting them into facial areas requiring additional volume, such as the cheeks, lips, undereyes, and more. The result is a rejuvenated, youthful look that better represents your true self.

Fill in Lines and Wrinkles
The inevitable aging process, sun damage, and genetics can negatively impact your facial volume. As the years pass, collagen and elastin production declines, existing fat in the face atrophies and descends, and lines and wrinkles begin to gather. Fat transfer to the face is a great way to reverse this.
Restore Youthful Volume
When you’re young, your face has plentiful volume and plump fat pads. By restoring this fat, you can recapture a brighter, more youthful look in areas like the undereyes, cheeks, lips, and more.
Slim Your Donor Area
Because the transferred fat is collected from your body, it can produce slimming in your donor area. Facial fat transfer includes liposuction on a fatty area, helping boost your confidence.
Benefits of Fat Transfer to Face
How Can We Help You Feel Great About Your Decision?
Picture how fat transfer to the face could fulfill your cosmetic goals and feel more energetic. Facial fat transfer has many benefits, and Dr. Tehrani can help you learn more about the ones that most closely fit your wants and lifestyle. Here are a few top benefits.
Minimally Invasive
Facial fat transfer requires only local anesthesia and sedation, helping minimize the impact on your body. It doesn’t require significant surgery like a facelift.
Natural, Long-Lasting Results
With facial fat transfer, strategically placed injections of fat allow you to combat signs of facial aging naturally. If you want to avoid implants or dermal fillers, facial fat transfer is a great option.
Low Downtime
Because this option is minimally invasive, you can expect significantly less downtime. Generally, you can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Every surgery requires some dedicated preparation. Dr. Tehrani will give you a detailed list of steps to prepare for a good experience. They include:
- Take a break from smoking. Smoking constricts blood vessels and inhibits your healing ability.
- Stop taking other medications. Dr. Tehrani may tell you to adjust your intake of NSAIDs, blood thinners, and vitamins that cause bleeding.
- Arrive at the office with a clean face. Avoid cosmetics and moisturizers on the day of treatment.
Fat Transfer to Face
Fat transfer to the face uses your own natural tissue to create volume, resulting in long-lasting results. Once the fat is in place and establishes a new blood supply, it functions like any other fat. There’s little risk of allergic reaction or implant rejection like with other procedures – it’s one of the most natural facial rejuvenation options available.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a reliable way to replenish volume, but they can only last for around one year. Still, they require no downtime and are easily reversible if you don’t like your results. They can be a great way to consider what your fat transfer results may look like – or they may be ideal if you want to avoid a surgical procedure altogether.
Fat Transfer to Face Recovery
Because facial fat transfer is minimally invasive, you can enjoy a fast recovery. Discomfort is minimal, and most patients only require a day or two off to heal. Most patients can return to their social calendar in 1-2 weeks with minimal swelling. You’ll be able to manage any discomfort by taking your prescribed medications as directed. As the transferred fat settles into its new home, you should make sure not to place any pressure on your face, which can damage the fat cells. You can resume wearing makeup after 24 hours.
You can expect long-lasting, natural-looking results and a more youthful face. Once any mild symptoms are gone, you can look forward to more voluminous cheeks and lips and smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles. Your new results are yours to keep for years. In fact, studies have shown that more than 50% of the transferred fat survives for over 3 years.
Within 3-4 weeks, you can begin to see your final result and feel the full impact of your new confidence.
