Facial Fat Transfer: A Natural Approach to FFS for Youthfulness

Aging is difficult for most people to accept. Especially when confronted with the effects of aging in the mirror… Understanding facial fat transfer and its place in FFS can be important for those who want a youthful face.

Fat loss in the face over time is normal, but in the long term, it can lead to wrinkles, sunken cheeks, and sagging skin. This results in a much more tired and aged appearance, causing many people to lose their self-confidence. The effects of aging are most noticeable in the middle and lower parts of the face. Preserving facial fat is important for volume, facial contour, and a youthful appearance.

Although facial fat loss is completely normal over time, some people may want to restore the fat in their faces to reverse the signs of aging. To meet such demands, today’s modern cosmetic procedure techniques make it possible to add fat to the face. The methods used for this purpose give the face a more contoured and youthful appearance. Facial fat grafting is one of the most popular FFS procedures today, restoring fullness and redefining facial contours. So, what is facial fat transfer and what kind of procedure is it?

What is Facial Fat Transfer and How is it Performed?

Facial fat transfer, or facial fat grafting, is the name given to a natural-looking procedure that uses the body’s own fat instead of synthetic fillers or implants. It is called a natural procedure because of the materials used. Thanks to its long-lasting results, it has become an increasingly popular treatment, especially among trans women.

A facial fat graft typically consists of three main stages:

• Administration of anesthesia based on the patient’s needs (local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia),
• Harvesting fat from another area of the body,
• Processing the harvested fat and injecting it into specific areas of the face.

This procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis. Before performing facial fat injection, Dr. MFO will examine your face and discuss your concerns and desired results with you in person. He will also plan where the fat will be harvested and how it will be transferred. The fat to be transferred to the face is usually harvested from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. 

During the operation, the surgeon first collects fat from the donor area using a small cannula. The fat is then processed to remove excess fluid and blood to prepare it for transfer. During this stage, the fat to be injected is purified, and only healthy and viable fat cells are selected for the fat transfer.

The final step is the fat injection. The processed fat is injected into the desired areas of the face to achieve the desired appearance. A large, functional, specialized needle is typically used during the injection. The fat is usually injected in small amounts, and the surgeon will carefully sculpt and contour the face to achieve the best results.

How Does Facial Fat Transfe Help Restore a Youthful Appearance?

After a certain age, a youthful face is a feature that many people want to preserve or regain. While there are numerous cosmetic procedures available to restore facial volume and improve facial contours, fat grafting stands out from the rest in that it allows patients to achieve natural-looking results without the use of artificial fillers and implants in their faces. This procedure can be quite effective for those who have experienced significant facial volume loss due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. 

Restoring Volume to the Face with Fat Transfer

As we age, volume loss in our faces due to natural fat, bone, and collagen loss may not pose a serious health problem, but it can lead to a loss of self-confidence. It can be upsetting to constantly see hollows under the eyes, sagging cheeks, deep lines, and wrinkles in the mirror.
Facial fat injection offers hope to many patients by transferring fat from other areas of the body to the volume-depleted areas of the face, thereby restoring volume to these regions.

Improving Facial Contours with Facial Fat Transfer

In addition to restoring volume, facial fat transfer can also improve facial contours. Fat can be strategically injected into specific areas of the face to create a more defined and symmetrical appearance. For example, fat can be injected into the cheeks for a more defined look or into the jawline to create a more defined chin. This can improve the overall balance and harmony of the face, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat injection offers many advantages over synthetic fillers and implants, which is the main reason why many patients prefer fat injection.

• One of the most important benefits of facial fat injection is that the results are long-lasting. This is because the fat cells transferred to the face are living cells that can integrate with the surrounding tissues and provide permanent volume and contour.
• Another advantage of facial fat injection is that the results look very natural. The fat is taken from the patient’s own body. This eliminates the risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
• Facial fat grafting is less invasive than traditional facial surgery such as facelifts, brow lifts, or implants.

Who is Facial Fat Transfer Suitable For?

Facial fat injection is suitable for anyone who wants to add volume to their face and/or improve their facial contours. However, the final decision is determined by the surgeon’s assessment.

Although older patients often prefer this procedure, it can also be performed on younger individuals who are genetically predisposed to sunken areas and wrinkles on their faces. Those who have experienced volume loss in their faces due to significant weight loss can also benefit from facial fat transfer. Individuals who want to make their cheekbones more prominent in a natural way are also beginning to prefer facial fat transfer over facial fillers.

Restore Volume and Radiance to Your Face

Facial fat transfer is a safe and effective procedure for adding volume and improving facial contours. As part of FFS, this procedure works wonders for those who want to regain their youth and achieve their desired facial shape. Compared to synthetic fillers and implants, it offers many advantages for long-lasting results and a natural process. Many patients experience a smooth procedure with minimal recovery time and are highly satisfied with the results.
