Facial fat grafting

Overview

  • Nasolabial folds (between the nose and lips).
  • Lines between the lips and chin.
  • Cheeks.
  • Sagging jaw.
  • Hollows under the eyes.

Before the operation, the surgeon marks the recipient sites depending on the patient's needs. Then, sterilization of the donor sites and the recipient sites are required.

Intraoperative

A facial fat grafting is a two-step surgery that includes liposuction and injection.

  • Anesthesia: usually, the surgeon uses local anesthesia when the fat required is small.
  • Liposuction: initially, the plastic surgeon will perform liposuction to remove fat, likely coming from the hips, flanks, or abdomen.
  • Purification: once the doctor removes the fat, it will be purified and prepared for injection.
  • Injection: different injection techniques and angles are used to provide high rates of immersion into the skin and create the symmetry and appearance desired. Then, the fat will be grafted to the cheeks, lips, and/or under the eyes to create volume and correct lines and facial pits.
  • Close the incisions: after the fat is injected, the incisions will be sutured and cleaned.
