Facial Fat Transfer

Facial Fat Grafting in Tampa, FL

Dr. Brandon Mang | Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery

We offer a variety of treatments that can refresh the beauty and contours of your face. Autologous fat transfer is a popular treatment because it offers natural-looking improvements and long-lasting benefits for the complexion. Often caused by aging, volume loss can happen around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. Facial fat grafting can help combat the signs of aging, like volume loss. By taking unwanted fat from your body, facial fat grafting treatments add volume to help smooth facial wrinkles and folds. Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang is a skilled cosmetic surgeon who can artfully inject the fat into different parts of your face for beautiful, lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?

A specialized facial fat transfer is one of the most deisrable aesthetic procedures in the world. While artificial fillers can be used to enhance the volume of the face, Dr. Mang and the rest of his team at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery also perform natural fat grafting, which offers even more benefits, including:

  • Restores substantial age-related volume loss
  • Safer than fillers since it uses your body’s own fat
  • Results are long-lasting
  • Refines skin tone and texture
  • Provides a more a natural look and feel
  • Smooths lines and wrinkles
  • Can be used on any facial area
  • Suitable for use on the lips, cheeks, and more
  • Reduced risk of allergic sensitivity
  • Gets rid of unwanted fat from trouble spots

What happens after facial fat grafting?

After your fat graft, we will suture your incisions and take you to the recovery area. Dr. Mang or someone from his team will apply bandages and monitor you in the recovery room. Before sending you home, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments. The follow-up appointments allow Dr. Mang to assess your recovery and ensure you are healing properly. Your recovery period will depend on the amount of fat that we transferred, and you should plan for 1 – 2 weeks of rest and recovery. At first, patients may feel sore and experience bruising and swelling near the treatment sites. You might notice some improvements right away; however, it will take several weeks before you can see your final outcomes. A small amount of fat will likely reabsorb, but with proper care, your improvements can last for several years.

Is Facial Fat Grafting For You?

Fat transfer is a two-part process that includes liposuction and fat injections. Because only a small amount of fat is needed, Dr. Mang uses twilight or local anesthesia. To start, we utilize liposuction to extract unwanted fat from your hips, flanks, or abdomen. As soon as the fat is removed, we place it in a centrifuge for processing. This purifies the fat and allows us to inject it into the face. As Dr. Mang starts to place your injections, he uses various techniques and injection angles to create smoothness. Based on your treatment plan, we will inject fat into your lips, cheeks, or below your eyes to add volume and to improve the appearance of wrinkles, folds, scars, or fine lines.

Tampa, FL Facial Fat Grafting FAQ

The cost for a facial fat graft will include fat removal and will vary based on the amount of volume being transferred. After a complete examination, Dr. Mang will decide how much fat is needed to create the desired volume and develop a custom treatment plan. After this, he can begin to calculate costs, like anesthesia and facility fees. To make your facial fat grafting easier to afford, Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery takes several payment methods and can help you find low-interest medical financing.

Either a facial fat graft or an injectable wrinkle filler (like Juvéderm and Restylane) can correct the appearance of lines and static wrinkles while also adding volume. While wrinkle fillers may create great results, a facial fat transfer usually looks more natural and lasts longer. If you need help deciding how much fat you want added and where, Dr. Mang might recommend using wrinkle fillers. Once you have decided what you want, Dr. Mang will perform a facial fat transfer for results that last years instead of months.

Facial fat grafting may be performed with another procedure such as BOTOX (a wrinkle relaxer) or a skin treatment (for example, a facial). A fat transfer has also become a good way to complement a facial surgery. A fat graft will add volume to improve the balance of your face during a facelift, neck lift, or chin augmentation. Talk to Dr. Mang during your consultation about your wants so he can create a comprehensive plan with nonsurgical and surgical procedures that help to reach all your goals.

The procedure typically takes 1 – 2 hours, depending on the areas being treated. It involves liposuction to harvest fat, process the fat, and then inject it into the desired facial areas.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to light activities within a week. Swelling and bruising are common and may take several weeks to fully subside, with final results becoming visible after a few months.
Results are generally long-lasting, as the transferred fat integrates with existing tissues. However, the body may reabsorb some fat over time, and touch-up treatments may be needed.
A fat transfer may be used in a number of locations to add volume or fill in lines. A fat transfer is ideally designed to augment or enhance the mid-face or cheeks so that the area appears fuller and lifted without surgery. In addition, transferred fat may also be used to add volume to your upper and/or lower lips. You can also use a fat transfer to fill the hollow areas under your eyes. Facial fat grafting can also treat the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, marionette lines, or brow furrows. Dr. Mang will develop your custom treatment plan to address your concerns and aesthetic goals.
