Discover which cosmetic procedures can complement your facial fat transfer here.

What is facial fat grafting?

Also known as fat transfer to face, a facial fat grafting procedure is a cosmetic treatment that involves removing unwanted fat from one area of a patient’s body and injecting it into the face in order to restore lost volume and fill lines and wrinkles.

During a facial fat transfer in Plano, TX, which may be performed using local or general anesthesia, Dr. Ho will first harvest excess fat via liposuction. This fat is typically taken from the abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks. Using the highly advanced Suneva® PureGraft system, the fat cells are purified, with up to 97% of contaminants being eliminated. This allows for a more efficient procedure and more reliable, longer-lasting results. Additionally, Beyond Beautiful offers patient’s the innovative PRO-NOX™ Nitrous Oxide Delivery System to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure. The prepared fat is then precisely injected into the face in thin, meticulous layers to ensure a smooth, even, natural-looking result. Common concerns that are treated with facial fat transfer include:

  • Thin lips
  • Hollow cheeks
  • Circles under the eyes
  • Lines and wrinkles
  • Facial folds

Can I get a facelift at the same time as a facial fat transfer?

Volume loss is undoubtedly one of the most frustrating signs of facial aging, but it is certainly not the only one. Common signs and symptoms of facial aging include:

  • Lines and wrinkles
  • Volume loss
  • Loose skin
  • Drooping brow
  • Sagging jowls
  • Sunken eyes
  • Heavy eyelids
  • Puffiness under eyes
  • Double chin
  • Turkey neck
  • Neck banding

Many men and women are interested in addressing multiple concerns while also utilizing fat transfer for facial volumization. For these patients, a combination of surgical and/or nonsurgical treatments in conjunction with facial fat grafting may be an ideal solution. During your initial consultation for facial rejuvenation in Plano, TX, Dr. Ho will thoroughly evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and explain all of your available options in detail. Oftentimes, one or more of the following cosmetic treatments and procedures can be performed in conjunction with facial fat transfer for a stunning, youthful new look:

How long is facial fat grafting recovery time?

When performed on its own, the recovery after a facial fat transfer is relatively quick. The majority of patients require about 7 – 10 days of downtime and are considered fully recovered after 1 – 2 weeks. This may vary based on the amount of fat removed, the size of the treatment area, and other factors. For patients who pair fat grafting with additional procedures, the recovery period may be significantly longer. For example, facelift plus fat transfer is a much more extensive procedure and typically requires several weeks of downtime. Based on the nature and severity of your concerns, your available downtime, your financial considerations, and other factors, Dr. Ho will create a fully customized treatment plan to help you achieve your ideal outcome.

Beyond Beautiful is my home away from home! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming from the time I enter to the time I leave. Acacia has been working with me on my weight loss journey (Semiglutide). She is the BEST hype girl and checks in with me through out the month to see how I am doing and if I need anything. I have lost 34 pounds so far and I feel great! It has completely erased my inflammation too! Krystal has been working with me on my skincare routines, I love how she educates me as she goes along through her process. This morning I came in for a dermaplane, universal peel, and a hydrofacial. It was the best combination! It made my face feel so refreshed! She did an amazing job and I can’t wait to do it again next month!
