Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer is a natural facial rejuvenation procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore lost volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial contours. Over time, aging can lead to volume loss in the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, and jawline, resulting in a tired or hollow appearance. Fat transfer offers a long-lasting, soft, and natural solution to these common concerns.
During your consultation, Dr. Viezel-Mathieu will evaluate your facial structure and identify areas where volume restoration would be most beneficial. A customized plan is developed to harvest fat from a donor area—typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—and strategically inject it into targeted areas of the face for subtle, balanced enhancement.
Details
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. Fat is gently liposuctioned, purified, and then carefully injected using fine cannulas to sculpt and restore facial volume with precision.
Recovery typically involves mild swelling and bruising in both the donor and injection sites, with most patients resuming regular activities within one to two weeks. Results improve gradually as swelling subsides and transferred fat establishes a long-term blood supply.
Facial fat transfer is an excellent option for patients seeking a natural alternative to synthetic fillers, with the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area. The results are soft, long-lasting, and tailored to enhance your unique facial features.
