What Is Fat Transfer to the Face?
Fat transfer to the face is a two-for-one plastic surgery procedure that slims body contours and adds volume to the face. Unwanted fat is taken from the body, cleansed and purified, and injected into hollow areas in the face.
Fat transplantation, or also known as fat transfer, is a popular procedure in New Orleans for individuals looking to improve the contours and fullness of their face.
During the procedure, excess fat is removed from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into the face using a thin needle to add volume and improve the appearance of the skin.
There are several different types of fat transfer procedures, including facial fat grafting, which is specifically designed to enhance the fullness and contours of the face. The cost of fat transfer procedures can vary depending on the amount of fat that is being transferred and the specific area of the face being treated.
However, in general, fat transfer procedures tend to be less expensive than other types of facial rejuvenation treatments, such as facelifts or dermal fillers.
How Does Fat Transfer Differ From Dermal Fillers?
Like dermal fillers, facial fat transfer is an injectable fat transfer procedure that increases fullness. The primary difference is the injected material. Fat is a natural augmenting material that will not degrade or break down in the body. Dermal fillers are made from natural or synthetic materials and are gradually absorbed. Therefore, dermal fillers tend to last between six months and two years; fat transfer has no time limit.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer to the Face?
Women and men consider facial fat transfer to:
- Fill hollow areas of the face
- Increase cheek volume
- Fill the lips
- Fill deep tear troughs
- Minimize facial lines and wrinkles (including nasolabial folds
Since your fat is used, there is no chance of allergic reaction or rejection.

How Long Is My Recovery After Fat Transfer to the Face?
Fat transfer to the face is a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime.
You can expect some swelling and soreness in the liposuction areas and tenderness near the injection sites.
Most discomfort can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. Patients often return to work and their normal activities within a week; however, you may be asked to refrain from strenuous activity for a few weeks.
Are My Fat Transfer Results Permanent?
It is expected that the body will absorb some of the transferred fat. To counteract this, Dr. Sadeghi will inject a greater volume than what is desired for the final results.
It is very common for your facial contours to look overly full or swollen initially; however, this will reverse as fat is absorbed and the remaining fat settles. Once this occurs, your results will be long lasting.
Since your face will have a greater amount of fat cells, it will be more susceptible to weight fluctuations. Because of this, it is important to maintain a stable weight after the treatment.
