What is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial Fat Grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is one of the most effective treatments to help improve fuller face volume and maintain youthfulness with skin rejuvenation. The procedure is also useful for treating sagging skin, where the result can be permanent if it is done right with a high survival rate of fat cells on the areas treated.
How It Works
Facial Fat Grafting works by first collecting small amount of fats from either abdomen or thighs for the preparation of fat injection. The fats purified will then be transferred onto the areas that need filling with a microdroplet technique. Depending on your facial and skin condition, the treatment can help to alter facial contours, add more volume, as well as tighten your skin, especially around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
Excess fat cells are usually transplanted more than needed as some will be reabsorbed and metabolized by your body; the remaining will then contribute to permanent results.

Facial Fat Grafting With PRP
As the survival rate of fats vary greatly from 10 to 90%, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is highly recommended to be added simultaneously with Facial Fat Grafting for the ideal results. PRP is known as a natural reservoir of growth factors which stimulates tissue repair and regeneration, offering booster effect on fat grafts for better survival. Also, it helps to rejuvenate skin as well as reduce bruising and inflammation reaction.
In addition, another advantage also includes easier application of fat grafts due to the liquefaction effect of PRP.

3. Fat harvesting from donor areas of your body will be done to extract tiny parcels of fats

FAQ
Q1: Will the fat collection need any downtime like liposuction?
A1: No, it won’t need any downtime like liposuction. Only a small amount of fats is needed. You may however get some bruises or swelling, but this will fade quickly.
Q2: When can I see the results?
A2: Some changes can be seen immediately, and results will continue to improve over time for a period of 3 to 4 months.
Q3: Will the results look natural?
A3: Yes, they look natural and it's important to understand that the results may not look so dramatic in nature. The changes will be subtle but so attractive. It's a great option for those who want to avoid looking like they have had 'work done'.
Q4: Is there any minimum or maximum volume fixed for the transfer?
A4: The amount of augmentation that can be achieved during fat transfer depends on the amount of volume desired, the site which is being treated, and the amount of fat available for transfer.
Q5: Will the results change if I gain or lose weight?
A5: Fat cells are capable of expanding as well as shrinking during weight fluctuations, and the surviving cells transferred to the treated areas behave in the same way as other fat cells in the body. This means that grafted cells can expand if weight is gained, causing expansion in the treated areas. Harvest areas can also gain fat, but this generally happens at a slower rate, since there will be fewer fat cells remaining in the area. Patients will need to be diligent about maintaining a stable weight before and after fat transfer to preserve results.
