What is a Fat Transfer?

A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure in which fat is removed from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and injected into another area of the body, such as the face. Fat transfer to the face is a popular cosmetic procedure for patients looking to add volume and definition to their facial features without the use of synthetic fillers or implants. It can be an effective way to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance, and can also be used to correct facial asymmetry or other imperfections.

What are the Benefits of a Fat Transfer?

The benefits of a fat transfer include:

Enhance facial volume and contours
Improves the appearance of under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging
Corrects facial asymmetry or imperfections
Provides natural-looking and long-lasting results
Does not involve the use of synthetic fillers or implants
Minimal scarring

Am I A Good Candidate for a Fat Transfer?

A fat transfer may be a good option for you if you are looking to enhance your facial volume and contour to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer natural-looking results and want to avoid synthetic fillers or implants. It can also be a suitable choice if you are looking for a long-lasting solution as the transferred fat cells can survive for many years. However, it’s important that you have enough excess fat in your body to harvest for the transfer, and be in overall good health.

The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for a fat transfer is to call for a personalized complimentary consultation, during which our facial plastic surgeon can answer all of your questions. At your initial complimentary consultation, we can discuss the treatment options available to help you determine which is right for you.

What Can I Expect at My Complimentary Fat Transfer Consultation?

No two people age in the same way, and as a result, no two fat transfer procedures will be identical. During your complimentary fat transfer consultation, Dr. Ginsburg will examine your facial features and listen to your specific concerns with regards to the volume loss that has occurred. With your goals in mind, Dr. Ginsburg will then create a plan to harvest fat and restore volume to the face, using his many years of experience to produce a treatment plan that will deliver the best possible results. Ultimately, when you leave your consultation, you will be equipped with realistic expectations for your fat transfer results, and a treatment plan that you can set into motion whenever you are ready.

How is a Fat Transfer Performed?

The fat transfer procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. It begins with removing fat from a donor site using liposuction. The fat is then processed to remove any impurities or excess fluid, and prepared for injection. The surgeon will then carefully inject the fat into specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or under-eye area, to add volume and enhance facial contours.

How Much Does a Fat Transfer Cost?

The cost of a fat transfer can vary depending on your treatment goals and the extent of surgery involved. At Providence Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, we price each procedure individually. This allows us to more accurately represent the costs based on your body’s unique needs. We are happy to discuss your costs and financing options at your initial complimentary consultation.

What Can I Expect from My Fat Transfer Recovery?

After a fat transfer, patients should expect a recovery period of about 1-2 weeks. During this time, they may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the injection sites. Pain medication can be prescribed to alleviate any discomfort. Patients may also need to sleep with their head elevated and avoid certain activities, such as strenuous exercise, for a short period of time to minimize swelling.

Most patients are able to return to work and resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, although the full recovery period can take up to a few months. During this time, the transferred fat cells will establish a new blood supply and integrate into the surrounding tissue, resulting in long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Are the Results from a Fat Transfer Permanent?

The results from a fat transfer can be long-lasting and even permanent. However, it’s important to understand that it’s common for some of the transferred fat cells to be reabsorbed by the body in the first few months after the procedure. The fat cells that do survive will remain in the face for many years, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting improvement in facial volume and contour. Dr. Ginsburg typically plans for this, and will inject the necessary amount of fat to produce your desired results once any fat cells get reabsorbed and the remaining fat cells settle into their new position.
