Frequently Asked Questions
Where Does The Fat For Facial Fat Grafting Come From?
We harvest fat during this procedure with a specialized tiny hollow needle to extract fat cells. Using minimal suction, we take fat from an area of your body where we have identified excess fatty deposits, such as thighs, abdomen or other areas.
How Long Before I See Results?
After facial fat grafting, patients most commonly experience some swelling and bruising, which usually diminishes over the first week. After six months, the fat transferred to the facial area you are having treated will remain long term as part of your newly restored facial fullness and desired definition.
Facial Fat Grafting or Dermal Fillers?
Since dermal fillers will eventually be reabsorbed by the body, Facial Fat Grafting may offer patients a more long-term solution using fat cells that will naturally become part of their body and last for years once in their new location.
