Facial Fat Grafting

Sunset Cosmetic Surgery – Home of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Facial Fat Plastic Surgeons

<<back to before & after main menu

Fat Grafting is a procedure wherein fat cells are extracted from the body (usually stomach area) and re-inserted into the face -- nasolabial folds (mouth to nose folds), undereyes, cheeks, chin, temples, etc. It is expected that some of the fat inserted will be re-absorbed into the body, while the rest remains permanent. Read more about this in our Ask the Experts section.

Typical Recovery Time: This procedure is not incredibly invasive but does create a moderate amount of swelling afterwards. Everyone reacts differently, with most of the swelling subsiding in a week or so, and "final results' in 1-2 months. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work in one week or so. Patients should really consider smoking cessation as it significantly decreases the amount of fat that will remain permanent.

Above Set: This patient came into the office for a lower eye blepharoplasty and was able to achieve the less "tired" look she desired simply via fat grafting under the eyes in the tear trough area, which required far less recovery time.

Above 2 sets: Fat grafting was performed to enhance the cheek area resulting in a very natural enhancement.

Above 2 sets: Fat grafting under eyes and cheeks, improves fullness in midface without midface lift and without implants. Also removes tired look. This patient also had a forehead lift to further increase the youthful appearance around the eyes.

Above 2 sets: Facial fat grafting to cheeks, under eyes, and tear troughs. The result is a fuller midface, loss of flattening, and a more youthful, rested appearance.
