Facial fat grafting

Volume restoration with the patient's own fat in the forehead, cheeks, nasolabial folds and under-eyes, using the stem cells within the fat tissue to improve graft survival. Surgery takes about 30 minutes.

Who it suits

Technique highlights

Surgical steps

  • Harvest fat from the chosen donor area
  • Separate and prepare the fat with its stem cells
  • Inject at the planned points for whole-face balance

Recovery & aftercare
