Facial fat grafting, also referred to as fat grafting or fat transfer, is a microsurgery procedure for restoring cosmetic volume in the face. It can be used to produce fuller cheeks, diminish facial wrinkles, and improve the facial contours.
To do the procedure, the surgeon will harvest fat from a donor site with liposuction, clean and process it, and then inject the fat into the areas requiring improvement. Fat grafting is different from dermal fillers because the fat cells used for the procedure are your own and are not artificial or synthetic substances.
Facial fat grafting is ideal when skin shape and structure is good but normal changes of the aging face have led to loss of facial volume. In addition, this procedure can be stitched or combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, like facelift, forehead lift, and/or neck lift.
General anesthesia is the usual anesthetic choice for facial fat grafting, so be sure to consult your doctor to determine if this procedure is safe for you.

The facial fat grafting procedure typically takes two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The procedure begins with a saline wash and a local anesthetic to help reduce discomfort during the procedure. The surgeon then performs liposuction to harvest the fat from the donor site.
The harvested fat is then cleaned and processed to make sure only healthy fat is being transplanted. The fat is then carefully injected into the areas of the face requiring augmentation. The procedure is finished with a dressing to protect the transplant sites.
While results of facial fat grafting vary from patient to patient, most patients experience a natural-looking, youthful appearance with minimal scars. The procedure also has the added benefit of eliminating wrinkles, enhancing facial shape, and improving skin texture.
Most results of facial fat grafting are permanent, although secondary treatment may be needed in some cases. The transplanted fat cells are your own, so the results may appear more natural than with other types of facial augmentation procedures.
In the first few days after the procedure, it is common to have some swelling and bruising at the injection sites. These usually settle down after a few days and can be managed through medications prescribed by your health care provider.
It is also important to observe post-operative instructions to optimize healing. This includes adequate rest, avoiding strenuous activities, and refraining from smoking.
Facial fat grafting is generally a safe procedure. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection and other complications. It is important to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and complications before the procedure to ensure the safest possible outcome.
The risks and complications of facial fat grafting include infection, excessive swelling, asymmetry, calcification, fat resorption, and nerve damage. Your doctor will discuss the risks and complications with you in detail before the surgery.
The cost of facial fat grafting varies from patient to patient. Factors such as complexity of the case, the amount of fat needed to be harvested, the amount of fat need to be re-injected, and anesthesia fees all play a role in determining the cost of the procedure.
In order to get an accurate cost estimate for your unique case, it is best to consult with Dr. Shree Harsh at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic in Lucknow. During the consultation, Dr. Shree Harsh will be able to provide you with a cost estimate that is tailored to your individual needs.
In preparation for the facial fat grafting consultation, it is important to bring a list of questions you want to ask Dr. Shree Harsh. Additionally, having photos of yourself from before and after the aging process began can help the doctor better understand your aesthetic goals.
