FACE FAT TRANSFER OR REMOVAL

Minimize Facial Aging By Repurposing Your Own Fat

Many people seek out ways to boost their confidence and improve their appearance. One of the most popular procedures is face fat transfer surgery, which is designed to reduce the appearance of excess fatty tissue in the face. This surgery has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people look for ways to improve their appearance without going through a long and painful recovery process.

The Face Fat Transfer Procedure

Face Fat Transfer surgery is a type of facial surgery. In this surgical procedure, you can improve the appearance of the cheeks, chin, and jawline. It can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This surgery can be done alone or with other procedures, such as a brow lift.

The surgery begins with two small incisions at the corners of the mouth, one on each side. A needle is then used to remove fat cells from various areas of the body, including the belly and buttocks. These are injected into the face, where they will hopefully take root and improve the appearance of the face. Another method is to use fat taken by liposuction from other areas of the body, including the stomach, hips, buttocks, or thighs. The fat is then injected into the desired area with a cannula (long tube).

Why Have A Face Fat Transfer Procedure?

This surgery is considered a good option for those who have lost volume in their face as a result of aging or heredity. Many patients desire a more youthful appearance without extensive facial reconstructive surgery. This is also an effective technique for those who want to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by filling in hollowed-out areas.

The best candidates for face fat transfer surgery are those who are unhappy with the appearance of their facial features and want to improve them. The surgery is typically performed on people with excess fat on their cheeks, chin, or neck. It can also be used to improve the appearance of the lips and nose.

The procedure can be done alone or combined with other facial procedures, such as a facelift. Patients considering an extensive facelift may want to postpone fat transfer surgery until after the more invasive operation has been completed.

This procedure is not intended for people unhappy about sagging skin, uneven contours or loose facial tissues. While it might provide some improvement, the surgery will not permanently remove wrinkles and restore a youthful appearance.

Benefits Of Face Fat Transfer In Northern Virginia

In general, most people who are satisfied with their appearances have roughly the same level of muscle tone and underlying fatty tissue. While some women opt for facelift surgery to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, others seek face fat transfer surgery to add fuller and more youthful features.

Some of the benefits of face fat transfer surgery include:

  • Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin

  • Give you a more youthful appearance

  • Restore volume to your face

  • Improve the appearance of the cheeks, temples, and jawline

  • Little to no scarring or visible signs of the surgery since incisions are around the earlobes and along the hairline

Recovery From Face Fat Transfer

Recovery from face fat transfer surgery is typically minimal, and most people feel good enough to return to work within a few days. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

Some common post-operative instructions include:

  • Keeping the surgical area clean and dry

  • Applying cold compresses to the area to reduce swelling

  • Taking any prescribed medication

  • Taking it easy for a few days – avoid any strenuous activity or exercise

  • Resting as much as possible

Most people experience only minor discomfort after face fat transfer surgery, but if you have any concerns or questions, be sure to speak with your doctor.
