Facial Fat Transfer in South Florida

Natural Rejuvenation. Long-Lasting Results.

Aging doesn’t just cause wrinkles β€” it causes volume loss, especially in the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, and jawline. While fillers can help temporarily, fat transfer to the face offers a natural, permanent solution that restores softness, structure, and youthful contours.

At South Florida Plastic Surgery, we offer facial fat grafting using your own body fat β€” creating subtle yet dramatic facial rejuvenation without synthetic fillers.

🧠 What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer (also called autologous fat grafting) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves:

  1. Harvesting fat from an area like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs

  2. Purifying the fat to retain only healthy, viable cells

  3. Injecting the fat into specific areas of the face to restore lost volume

This technique provides longer-lasting and more natural results than dermal fillers β€” with the added benefit of minor body contouring in the donor area.

βœ… Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting

  • Natural, biocompatible material (no risk of allergic reaction)

  • Long-lasting results β€” 50–70% of fat survives permanently

  • Restores volume to cheeks, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and jawline

  • Improves skin texture with stem-cell–rich fat

  • Can be combined with facelift, neck lift, or blepharoplasty

β€œI tried fillers for years, but they faded fast. My fat transfer results feel like part of me β€” and I look 10 years younger.”
β€” Sophia L., Miami

πŸ‘€ Ideal Candidates

You may benefit from facial fat transfer if you:

  • Have lost facial volume due to age, weight loss, or genetics

  • Want permanent volume without synthetic fillers

  • Have visible hollowness in cheeks, temples, or under-eyes

  • Are already considering liposuction (fat can be repurposed)

  • Prefer a natural, holistic facial rejuvenation approach

πŸ› οΈ How the Procedure Works

Procedure Overview:

  • Step 1: Fat harvested via mini-liposuction from abdomen, flanks, or thighs

  • Step 2: Fat is purified using centrifuge or filtration

  • Step 3: Fat is carefully injected into facial areas using micro-cannulas

Anesthesia:

  • Usually local with sedation or light general anesthesia

  • Procedure time: ~1.5 to 2 hours

Common Areas Treated:

  • Midface (cheeks)

  • Under-eyes (tear troughs)

  • Temples

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

  • Chin and jawline

Can be combined with facelift, eyelid surgery, or neck lift for full facial rejuvenation.

⏳ Recovery Timeline

Timeframe What to Expect
Day 1–3 Mild swelling and bruising; cold compresses recommended
Week 1 Resume light activities; some facial puffiness expected
Week 2–3 Most swelling resolves; early results visible
Month 1–3 Final fat retention becomes stable; facial contour improves

⚠️ Note: Slight overcorrection is common to account for some natural fat resorption.
