How Does the Fat Grafting Procedure Work?

By removing unwanted fat from a patient’s own body, usually one’s abdomen or thighs, Dr. Repta will then inject the fat into specific areas of the face that need volume replenishment.

Using a “blunt cannula” (a 1 millimeter hollow tube) tiny droplets of fat are injected throughout areas of facial hollowness. By using this micro-droplet technique, grafted fat has a much higher blood supply contact and the results are more natural looking. Additionally, volume restoration of the face tends to add more light to the face, which in turn can cause the skin look more radiant.

Adding fat back to the face can even help with skin texture and tone through what is thought to be a stem-cell response that the skin undergoes as a result of transplanted fat. This phenomenon is not conclusive but can be evident after about one year from the time of the procedure.

Fat grafting also appeals to many patients, as it is minimally invasive and does not require any significant incisions. For this reason, it has become one of the most popular anti-aging procedures available today, as a great alternative to facelift surgery.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?  

Facial fat grafting is a transformative approach to restoring lost volume, smoothness, and radiance to the face, offering a naturally rejuvenated look. Dr. Repta’s expert touch ensures that each grafted area looks balanced and refreshed, helping you achieve a revitalized appearance that enhances your features beautifully.

  • Natural-looking results: By using your own fat, the grafted areas seamlessly integrate with existing facial contours for a refreshed, organic appearance
  • Long-lasting enhancement: Unlike dermal fillers, the results of facial fat grafting are often long-lasting or even permanent, providing enduring beauty
  • Improved skin texture: Many patients experience improved skin quality and tone, potentially due to the stem-cell effect associated with transplanted fat
  • Minimally invasive procedure: Facial fat grafting requires only small incisions for fat harvesting and injection, allowing for a quicker recovery with minimal scarring
  • Two-in-one solution: This procedure removes unwanted fat from donor areas, providing slimming in areas like the abdomen or thighs while adding volume where you need it most 

Which Areas of the Face Can Be Treated with Facial Fat Grafting? 

Dr. Repta’s facial fat grafting techniques can address volume loss across many areas, restoring symmetry and enhancing your natural beauty. His refined approach ensures that each treated area is thoughtfully sculpted to achieve harmony and balance.

  • Cheeks: Adds volume to hollow cheeks for a fuller, youthful look
  • Under-eyes: Fills hollows or dark circles, brightening the area for a refreshed appearance  
  • Jawline and chin: Defines these areas, creating a more sculpted, refined contour  
  • Temples: Restores volume to sunken temples, balancing the face’s natural curves
  • Nasolabial folds: Softens lines around the mouth, reducing signs of aging
  • Forehead and brows: Smooths wrinkles and enhances brow contours for a lifted effect

What Will My Recovery & Results Be Like After Fat Grafting in Scottsdale?

Once the procedure is complete, patients may experience some bruising, swelling, and slight discomfort, primarily at the injection site. The swelling and bruising tend to subside within the first week, allowing the beginning of the rejuvenated results of fat grafting to be seen.

It is recommended that patients rest for the first 24 hours after fat grafting, keeping rigorous activity to a minimum while still remaining mobile. Keeping the head elevated can also help minimize bruising and swelling.

Most patients are able to return back to work after the first week. Typically, the results of fat grafting last considerably longer than dermal fillers. In most patients, the results are permanent, making this the optimum choice for many.

Will I Have Scars After the Procedure? 

Dr. Repta takes every possible measure to ensure that scarring is kept minimal and as discreet as possible. The tiny incisions required for harvesting fat are carefully placed in inconspicuous areas. At the same time, the injection sites on the face are virtually undetectable, allowing for a refined, natural appearance without noticeable marks. Thanks to Dr. Repta’s meticulous technique and commitment to achieving seamless results, most patients experience no visible scarring from the procedure. His attention to detail and expertise ensure that your final outcome is smooth, natural, and beautifully scar-free, enhancing your appearance without any trace of the procedure itself.
