Rating: 5 (178 reviews)

With age, gravity, and genetics, the natural loss of collagen and elastin causes the face to lose volume. As the muscles and ligaments relax and lose tone, this can create a sunken appearance and diminish fullness, resulting in a perpetually tired and aged look. Facial fat grafting can restore youthful fullness to the features using your body's natural resources.

Facial fat grafting at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute is an advanced facial rejuvenation technique that combines surgical precision with artistic expertise to revitalize your appearance. This procedure involves carefully harvesting fat through liposuction from one area of the body and skillfully transferring it to parts of the face that have lost their youthful volume over time. The result is a long-lasting, refreshed enhancement of your facial contours.

What Makes a Good Facial Fat Grafting Candidate?

You are a good candidate for facial fat grafting if any of the following is true for you:

You don’t have too much skin laxity, but notice an overall loss of volume and a sunken appearance to your face.
You are showing early signs of aging and decreased volume but have a good tone to the facial skin.
You are undergoing a facelift and wish to have more volume enhancement as well.

Where Are Facial Fat Grafting Incisions Positioned?

Access incisions are tiny and made over the area being liposuctioned, as well as in hidden crevices of the face in order to access the areas of the face being grafted. The fat grafting sites heal without visible scarring, as the access points are created with a simple needle stick and do not require stitches.

What Is the Facial Fat Grafting Surgical Technique?

Facial fat grafting typically takes one to two hours and can be performed under local anesthesia in the office or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference. Fat is harvested from areas where it is unwanted, carefully processed, and strategically injected into specific areas of the face to enhance volume and improve overall appearance.

Facial Fat Grafting Recovery

We recommend patients take time off work for three to five days following the procedure. Bruising generally takes about five days to improve, while swelling takes a few months. It will be key to rest with your head elevated to help with swelling and bruising.
