Facial fat grafting is steadily growing more popular, and it’s easy to see why. The procedure is like a two-for-one because it removes fat you don’t want and places it where you want it. At Beauty by Brueck, our talented team, led by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Brueck, recognizes that our patients often look to us for solutions to enhance their natural good looks.
Facial fat grafting can be a great fit if you want to feel more confident in your appearance with a little help from your body fat.
How Facial Fat Grafting Works
Facial fat grafting is a two-part procedure. First, Dr. Brueck performs liposuction, in which he makes tiny incisions and suctions fat out of areas such as the tummy, thighs, or hips. With facial fat grafting, you choose a donor area with some fat to spare where you’d like to contour your body. Dr. Brueck carefully processes and purifies the fat. In some cases, he might add platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at this point because it can help you make new collagen to support additional volume improvement. After prepping the fat, Dr. Brueck injects it into the part of the face where you lack volume, such as the cheeks, lips, or jawline. Facial fat grafting can even help with acne scars.
Fat grafting is a highly versatile procedure Dr. Brueck can tailor to your needs. He often performs fat grafting in other areas, like the breasts and buttocks.
The Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting
One of the most appealing aspects of facial fat grafting is that it uses your own tissue. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications. Injected in the face, about 60-70% of the grafted fat will typically “take,” meaning it will become a permanent part of your body. Fat grafting offers very natural-looking results and can give you a dramatic improvement.
Facial Fat Grafting Candidates
Facial fat grafting might be the right procedure for you if you have an area with some extra fat and want to boost the volume somewhere in your face. Many patients opt for facial fat grafting because they want a significant facial improvement but aren’t interested in a more extensive procedure like a facelift right now.
