Facial fat grafting is a procedure to add volume and give a youthful appearance to the face.
With a fat transfer, the patient’s cells are harvested from another area of the body. The fat is then purified and injected through small cannulas into the targeted area of the face. In some cases, it can also be combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and plump the skin.
Discover why patients opt for facial fat grafting in Austin, TX, to rejuvenate their appearance.
#1: Achieve a Fresh Youthful Look
Facial fat grafting is beneficial for addressing a wide range of concerns. One common concern is tissue loss around the cheeks, eyes, and mouth.
Full, round cheeks, prominent, bright eyes, and a smooth appearance often define a youthful appearance. Transferring fat to the area of the face that has lost volume allows you to achieve a fuller, more youthful aesthetic.
It’s also beneficial for addressing sagging skin, reducing the appearance of lines around the corners of the mouth and across the forehead, and more.
#2: Minimal Downtime
Patients also appreciate that facial fat grafting is less invasive than other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift. Many patients return to work the following day. Side effects such as redness or swelling are minimal and subside a few days following your procedure.
#3: Natural Results
Injectables such as dermal fillers can give similar results, but many patients don’t feel as comfortable knowing they are chemically produced. With facial fat grafting, the procedure utilizes your own cells, allowing for a more natural method of enhancing your appearance.
Furthermore, the results also appear natural and subtle, ideal for patients who are looking to address their concerns without drawing attention to their procedure.
