What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, also called fat transfer or micro-lipoinjection, moves your own fat to facial areas that have lost volume. As your own tissue, it carries no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Prefer a non-surgical route? Explore injection treatments at our Rejuvenation Spa & Laser Center.

How Is Facial Fat Grafting Performed in Princeton, NJ?

Harvesting: Gentle liposuction removes a small amount of fat from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Purifying: Centrifugation concentrates the fat, isolating healthy cells.
Micro-injecting: Thin cannulas place the fat in small amounts to build smooth, natural contour.

Performed alone, fat grafting can be done under local anesthesia with minimal recovery. Combined with surgery, it takes place at our accredited Reliant Surgical Center.

Is Fat Grafting Better Than Dermal Fillers?

Fat grafting uses natural tissue, lasts long once established, and suits significant volume loss or facelift patients. Fillers such as Restylane, JUVÉDERM, and the RHA Collection are reversible, need no donor site, and give immediate results, suiting younger patients with mild loss.

Combining Fat Transfer With Other Facial Procedures

A facelift repositions sagging tissue while fat replaces lost fullness, in one session. It also pairs with eyelid surgery or a brow lift. See all facial procedures and body and extremity fat grafting.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Fat Grafting?

Good candidates have facial volume loss or deep lines, enough donor fat, good general health, and realistic expectations; results vary. Dr. Wisser or Dr. Matthew J. Lynch will tailor your plan.

What Is Recovery Like After Facial Fat Transfer?

Donor-site and facial swelling and bruising mostly resolve within one to two weeks.
Your face may look slightly overfilled at first, as some fat resorbs over three months.
With a facelift, both recoveries happen at the same time.
