About Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances facial volume by transferring fat from one area of the body—typically the abdomen or thighs—to the face. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to fill hollow cheeks, smooth fine lines, or restore youthful plumpness to areas such as the under-eyes and temples. As the fat is sourced from your own body, the results are natural-looking and long-lasting.
Procedure Time:
1.5 – 2 hours
Return to Work:

Price:

Recovery After Facial Fat Transfer
- Mild swelling and bruising may occur in both the donor and recipient areas, but this subsides within a week.
- Some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, so a slight overfilling is done initially to ensure optimal results.
- Most patients return to work within 3-5 days, depending on their comfort level.
- Full recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks, with final results visible within 3 months.
- The results are long-lasting, though some patients may require a touch-up for enhanced longevity.

Facial Fat Transfer FAQ
The results are long-lasting, as the transferred fat integrates with existing tissues. However, a small percentage of fat may be naturally reabsorbed over time.
Anyone experiencing facial volume loss and seeking a natural, long-lasting solution may be eligible. A consultation will determine if you have sufficient donor fat for the procedure.
Most patients recover within 2-3 weeks, with minor swelling and bruising. The final results are typically seen after 3 months once the fat settles.
The procedure takes between 1.5 – 2 hours, including fat harvesting, purification, and injection. It is performed under local anaesthetic for minimal downtime.
