Achieve a More Balanced Facial Appearance With Facial Fat Transfer in North Jersey

As we grow older and our bodies slow their production of collagen and elastin, we often develop skin laxity, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. These imperfections can disrupt the proportions of the face and make us look quite a bit older. If you’re dealing with these signs of aging skin and also have excess fat in one or more areas of your body, EltraSelf offers a procedure called facial fat transfer that could be an ideal solution.

What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure used to enhance the volume, definition, and proportions of the face. During the treatment, excess fat is removed from a separate area of the patient’s body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction. That fat is then injected into the facial skin, where it restores lost volume, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and creates a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer is a simple and effective procedure that provides some or all of the following benefits:

  • Enhanced facial contours and volume
  • Tightening of loose, sagging skin
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved facial proportions and harmony
  • Fuller, more lifted cheeks
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results
  • Smoother, more youthful-looking facial skin
  • Improved self-confidence

Is Facial Fat Transfer the Right Option for You?

If you’re an adult looking to restore lost facial volume and achieve a more youthful appearance, you could be a good candidate for facial fat transfer. Many who seek the treatment are experiencing skin laxity, facial wrinkles, and/or sunken or hollow cheeks. To be a good candidate for the treatment, it’s also important that you have a sufficient amount of excess fat in another area of your body. Additionally, ideal candidates for facial fat transfer should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations for the procedure.

What Can You Expect During Your Facial Fat Transfer Treatment?

After your private consultation with one of our providers, you’ll be administered local anesthesia to begin your facial fat transfer procedure. Your provider will then make one or more tiny incisions in the area where your donor fat is located. The excess fat will then be carefully suctioned out through a narrow cannula. Next, the fat will be processed and purified before being injected into your facial skin with either a needle or narrow cannula. Your provider will then close your incisions with sutures and apply bandages as necessary.

What Is the Recovery Like After Facial Fat Transfer?

Usually, patients can return to work and resume their normal routines a few days after undergoing facial fat transfer. You’ll likely experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, but these symptoms should subside fairly quickly. It’s also important that you wait at least a couple of weeks before engaging in strenuous exercise.
