Facial Fat Transfer Los Angeles | Facial Plastic Surgery

Restore Youthful Volume Naturally with Facial Fat Transfer

As we get older, our faces can start to look sunken and wrinkled because we lose fat in certain areas. Suddenly, our youthful facial contours are gone, and we look older than we feel. You can naturally address this without resorting to artificial fillers. Consider facial fat transfer, a procedure that utilizes your body's own fat to enhance your facial volume and give you a more youthful appearance. Dr. Grant Stevens at Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles performs this safe and long-lasting procedure to help people look and feel refreshed.

Introducing a Beautiful, Authentic You

What is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, uses fat from other parts of your body (typically the abdomen or thighs) to fill areas of the face that have lost volume. Through liposuction, fat cells are harvested, purified, and then meticulously injected into facial areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth. Because this method uses your body's own tissue, the results are smooth, natural-looking, and long-lasting.

Facial Fat Transfer Benefits

Facial fat transfer provides a wide range of benefits to patients who want to enhance their appearance without surgery:

Restores youthful facial contours
Natural results using your body's own fat
Long-lasting outcomes, as transplanted fat can become permanent
Minimally invasive with little to no scarring
Can be combined with other procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation
No risk of allergic reaction since your own fat is used

Facial Fat Transfer Candidates

Facial fat transfer is an excellent option for individuals experiencing facial volume loss due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Ideal candidates include:

Adults in good overall health
Those with enough body fat to harvest for the procedure
Patients looking for a long-lasting alternative to fillers
Individuals seeking a more natural-looking result

Contraindications may include individuals with severe medical conditions, those who smoke, or anyone with unrealistic expectations about the outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Stevens and his team will help determine if you're a suitable candidate.

Consultation and Facial Fat Transfer Preparation

During your personalized consultation at Marina Plastic Surgery, we will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and explain how facial fat transfer can help you achieve them. We'll also review your medical history to ensure the procedure is safe for you. Preparation typically involves avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements, ceasing smoking, and ensuring you're in optimal health to promote a smooth recovery. Dr. Stevens will provide detailed pre-procedure instructions to help you prepare.

Your Facial Fat Transfer Procedure

Facial fat transfer is performed in-office and typically lasts one to two hours. Local anesthesia or sedation may be used for your comfort. The process begins with liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This fat is purified and then injected with precision into targeted facial areas. The goal is to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles or depressions, enhancing your natural beauty.

Facial Fat Transfer Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most patients see immediate improvement in facial volume, though full results will appear as swelling subsides within a few weeks. Since some fat will be absorbed by the body, multiple sessions may be required for optimal outcomes. Downtime is minimal, with most patients returning to daily activities within a few days. Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort in both the donor and treated areas is normal and typically resolves within a week. To maintain your results, it's essential to follow Dr. Stevens' aftercare instructions, avoid sun exposure, and practice healthy skin care.
