Fat transfer for facial rejuvenation is a natural and effective procedure that restores lost volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours by transferring your own fat to targeted areas of the face. Dr. Varsak’s precise technique ensures long-lasting, natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial harmony.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to enhance and restore facial features. It addresses various age-related concerns and can be used to:
Fat is extracted via liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
The harvested fat is carefully purified to remove excess fluids and non-viable cells before injection.
The processed fat is carefully injected into targeted areas using a small cannula or needle.
The procedure typically lasts 1-3 hours and is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment plan.
Fat transfer for facial rejuvenation involves harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs and injecting it into the face to restore volume and smooth wrinkles. This procedure provides natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal scarring.
Recovery generally takes about 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding during this period. Full results become visible within a few months as the transferred fat integrates with the facial tissues.
The results are long-lasting, but not all the transferred fat cells survive. On average, about 50-70% of the fat survives, providing durable enhancement for years.
Ideal candidates are individuals seeking to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, or enhance facial contours. Good overall health and sufficient fat reserves for harvesting are essential for successful results.
Yes, fat transfer is often combined with facelifts, eyelid surgery, or skin resurfacing treatments. Combining procedures can enhance overall facial rejuvenation and create a more youthful, harmonious appearance.
