What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer or fat grafting, involves harvesting fat from areas of the body where it is more abundant, such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs and injecting it into the face to restore lost volume and improve contours. The fat is carefully processed to purify and prepare it for injection. This technique adds volume and rejuvenates the skin by utilizing the regenerative properties of your fat cells.
