Facial Fat Transfer

There are many benefits to a facial fat transfer, including:

• Removal of fat from unwanted areas
• Added volume to areas of the face
• Natural-looking results
• Customized treatment plans
• Longer-lasting results than compared to injectable dermal fillers

A facial fat transfer can help if you have areas of volume loss or want to enhance specific areas of your face. Transferring fat to your face can fill in wrinkles and creases such as laugh lines, Crow’s feet, and smile lines. A facial fat transfer can also minimize the appearance of pitted areas and scars. You can also add volume to your cheeks and lips for a plumper, more youthful appearance. Similar to the results of an injectable filler, like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®, a fat transfer is a great choice if you want your results to last for much longer. In order to be a good candidate for facial fat grafting in Kalispell, MT, you need to have enough excess fat on your body to meet your goals. During your consultation with Dr. Hill, he will examine you, review your medical history, and listen to your concerns to help create the perfect facial fat transfer plan.

A fat transfer to the face is performed at Infinity Medical Aesthetics & Wellness within about an hour. You will be awake during the procedure, but topical anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment areas so you can stay relaxed. Once you are positioned comfortably, your technician will use a laser wand to extract fat from regions of concern, such as the arms, thighs, abdomen, or flanks. The BeautiFill system purifies the fat tissue so it is ready to be placed into the desired areas of your face. After the fat transfer is complete, you will be free to leave our office and get back to your regular activities. You may expect to have some bruising or swelling in the treated areas for several days. The results of a facial fat transfer can last for a number of years, although the normal aging process will continue.

Are fat transfers better than dermal fillers?

There is no easy answer when choosing between fat transfers and dermal fillers. Both treatments have their benefits and drawbacks, so it ultimately depends on the individual’s needs and preferences. However, fat transfers are longer-lasting and can provide a more natural look. Since they are made from your own tissue, there is also a lower risk of adverse reactions.

How long does facial fat grafting last?

Results from facial fat grafting typically last for many years. However, the longevity of the treatment depends on factors like how much fat was transferred and where it was placed.
