Facial fat grafting can help if you want to add natural-looking volume to specific places in your face.

Grafted fat may also be used to reduce the appearance of acne scars and sunken areas of your face. You may also enhance your cheeks and lips for a more youthful appearance. With results similar to an injectable filler, such as Juvéderm or Restylane, a fat transfer is a good option if you'd like your results to last for much longer. To be a good candidate for a facial fat transfer, you need to have enough excess fat on your body to meet your goals.

Facial fat transfer is a two-step procedure that includes harvesting the fat and placement. To begin, Dr. Seymour will perform liposuction to remove fat, which may be taken from your flanks, abdomen, or hips. As soon as the fat is harvested, it will be processed and then prepared for injection. Dr. Seymour will use different injection angles and techniques to create an even and attractive look. Typically, fat is grafted to the cheeks, lips, and/or beneath the eyes. After your fat transfer, your incisions will be stitched before you're sent into recovery. We will apply wound coverings, compression garments, and monitor you until you can be safely taken home. Follow-up appointments need to be made at ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center so Dr. Seymour can assess your healing and progress. Your recovery will be different based on the amount of fat that was removed and transferred, but you need to plan to spend a couple of weeks resting and healing. At first, you may feel uncomfortable with bruising and swelling at the liposuction site(s) and your face. You may see a little improvement immediately in your face, but it will take a few weeks before you can see your final outcomes.
