Facial Fat Grafting

Not all of the transferred fat will survive, and some is naturally reabsorbed during the healing process. The fat that survives develops a blood supply, becomes living tissue in its new location, and can remain long term.

Your face, however, will continue to age naturally. Over time, additional treatments may be helpful to maintain or refine your results.

“Ozempic face” is a popular term used to describe facial volume loss and increased skin laxity that can occur with significant weight loss. These changes are related to weight loss itself and can occur regardless of how the weight is lost.

Facial fat grafting can restore volume to areas such as the temples, cheeks, and under-eye region and can be particularly helpful when facial volume loss is more significant or widespread.

Yes. Facial fat grafting can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures. When skin laxity is also present, fat grafting can be combined with a face and neck lift to address both volume loss and loose skin.

It can also be combined with procedures such as blepharoplasty to restore volume around the eyes. Addressing both volume loss and skin laxity can create a more complete and balanced facial rejuvenation.

Renuva® is an injectable adipose matrix that acts as a framework for your body to gradually replace with its own fat. It can restore facial volume without the need to harvest fat through liposuction.

Renuva® may be a good option if you don't have enough fat to harvest or prefer to avoid a fat-harvesting procedure.
