As we age, we see the curves and contours of our faces give way to wrinkles, creases, and depressions. Many believe that this occurs due to the effect of gravity — that all things will fall over time. This is simply not the case. What happens is that as the years pass, the facial tissues thin, leaving the skin less resilient and supple. As your skin thins and loses volume, the tissue begins to sag and droop. Lines and creases become etched in, and the face starts to appear hollow and deflated. Facial fat transfer helps reverse this unwanted effect of aging by naturally restoring facial volume with your own fat cells.

What is facial fat transfer?

At South Coast Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ali uses facial fat grafting to enhance or restore natural facial volume. In this procedure, he transfers small quantities of fat harvested from the tummy or thighs to the deflated facial area. Fat grafting in Irvine is also a groundbreaking way to reshape the lips or cheeks for a natural-looking, lifelong enhancement.

What are the benefits of facial fat transfer?

Facial fat transfer, when performed by a talented plastic surgeon, offers several advantages:

  • Minimally invasive
  • Non-surgical
  • Natural-looking
  • Long-lasting results
  • No incisions required
  • Limited recovery and downtime
  • No risk of an allergic reaction

Why have a facial fat transfer?

Facial fat grafting in Ladera Ranch is the ideal procedure for many people suffering from age-related volume loss, as it does not require incisions and produces a long-lasting result.

Artificial dermal fillers can deliver an excellent result, but the filler is absorbed over time, requiring multiple re-treatments. With a facial fat transfer, the fat cells transferred to restore facial volume become a part of your skin structure, and are there for the duration. 

This customized procedure can resolve any of the following:

  • Sunken temples
  • Hollowed cheeks
  • Sunken under-eye area
  • Etched-in smile and frown lines
  • Thinning lips
  • Scars from acne or trauma
  • Lines from the sides of the mouth to chin (marionette lines)

What does facial fat transfer entail?

The facial fat transfer procedure is a minimally-invasive alternative to facial plastic surgery, typically completed under “twilight” anesthesia. A small incision is placed within the belly button to harvest an amount of fat from the tummy. This fat is then run through a centrifuge to separate the fat cells, which are then injected into the targeted areas of your face with small needles to restore subtle, youthful volume to the skin.
