Facial Fat Transfer

As you age, you may notice the skin on your face drooping a bit. Fortunately, it’s not an issue you have to live with. Instead, with today’s latest plastic surgery techniques, you could have a fuller, more beautiful face once again. At Dr Aoife Turner Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of features to help you fight the signs of ageing, and one great option is fat transfer to the face.

What is Facial Fat Transfer?

To achieve a firmer, smoother appearance, we use liposuction to eliminate fat cells from tough to sculpt areas like your love handles, your thighs, your back, and your arms. That fat that we remove is then carefully processed and transferred to your face to achieve fantastic results. Sometimes called fat transfer to the face or facial fat grafting, facial fat transfer is a fantastic way to replace the natural volume you once had in your face. If you’ve considered dermal fillers, this might be the choice you need to achieve the look you want without the problems sometimes associated with fillers.

Benefits

Few aspects of ageing mean a more beautiful appearance, and your face is one spot where you’re likely to notice some real ageing problems. Adding volume back to your face makes sense because it’s one of the first areas that get deflated. Imagine a plush, ripe grape. As it loses volume, it turns into a raisin with wrinkles and folds. That’s a bit like what might happen to your face during the natural ageing process. You can use non-surgical techniques like hyaluronic acid fillers to deal with some of the problems, but with fat transfer to the face, you get lasting results along with the bonus of liposuction procedures to those difficult spaces that you just can’t reach through diet and exercise. More than that, though, fat transfer to the face can be a permanent solution to a problem you’ve been fighting for years.

Results With Little Recovery Time

If you’ve noticed sunken cheeks, deep grooves, and added lines, the time to consider fat transfer to the face is now. Recovery time is quite short. You’ll be able to go home right after the procedure, and after just a few days, you’ll notice the change in your appearance. Within a week, you’ll be just as busy as you were before, but people will notice the results immediately. Expect lots of compliments on how healthy and young you look!
