Also known as facial fat grafting, this process involves the transfer of fat from the abdomen, or inner thighs and knees to the face. It enables a person to restore fullness and volume to the face (volume loss is part of the natural ageing process). This results in a more aesthetic facial appearance.

A fat transfer procedure involves the use of an individual’s own body fat (autologous). This eliminates the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection of the tissue. The result of fat grafting is usually permanent as opposed to injectable filler.

Nanofat (highly filtered and broken down fat) is used as an injectable with a needle to fill and improve deep wrinkles. 

Fat transfer enables an individual to address many facial issues, including:

• Forehead lines
• Temporal hollowing
• Hollowing around the eyes
• Tear trough deformity
• Loss of cheek volume
• Thinning lips
• “Marionette” lines around the mouth
• Chin and jawline enhancement
• Ear lobe filling
• Nasal labial folds
• Scars or contour depressions along the face
