Why fat grafting on the face is required?
Fat grafting is done for facial rejuvenation in patients who want to improve the aesthetics of their face; however, some patients require treatment for necessary reconstruction after suffering trauma/burns to the face/ ANY deformity since birth.
Two major effects of Fat grafting
Fat grafting in the face has two effects:
- Fills the face and rejuvenates the face. Fat transfer to the face work on the same principle as fillers but work more efficiently as it has a stem cell rejuvenation effect on the skin.
- nasolabial folds
- marionette grooves
- wrinkles over cheeks, forehead, and upper lip region.
- Re-contour and smoothen the face - Here fat transfers use processed fat from the patient's own body. The procedure also is known as micro fat injection.
Fat cells are removed by liposuction from the donor area, usually from around the navel or from the thighs or buttocks using a small cannula attached to a syringe. The fat cells are cleansed and processed and then injected into the wrinkled or deflated area using a blunt needle and syringe.

Fat can replace the lost volume and at appropriately selected places reduce the appearance of wrinkles also. Micro fat injection can reduce the appearance of wrinkles for –
Nano fat transfer is also done for improving the quality and texture of the skin and making facial skin glow, shiny and elastic. Furthermore, fat cells have a beneficial effect on deep and superficial skin tissue, thereby rejuvenating the face.

The 5 steps for fat grafting to face
Fat transfer to the face can be done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending upon your choice and comfort level.
1st Step - Liposuction is done to harvest healthy fat from another area of the body (usually the belly, thighs, or buttocks).
2nd Step - This fat is then purified, processed, and prepared for grafting.
3rd Step - A fine needle and cannula are used to inject the healthy fat into those areas of the face that have signs of aging or deformity.
4th Step - To account for the body's natural reabsorption of the injected fat, more fat than required is injected.
5th Step - The face is gently massaged to ensure the fat is evenly distributed, addressing your initial goals for the procedure, and leaving your face looking healthier and more youthful.
Terms you need to know
Micro fat grafting - to areas of volume depletion and deformity
SNIF fat grafting - for wrinkles
Nano fat grafting - microfat is again processed into nano fat grafting which is injected into the skin to improve the quality of the skin.
How to recover after the surgery?
First few weeks after surgery
You can expect little swelling immediately after the procedure, and that swelling can last anywhere between 3 -6 days. You may also experience some discomfort. You will be instructed to maintain head end elevation for 2 to 3 weeks to avoid swelling. You will be made to walk on the same day of the surgery. You will be discharged on the same day or the next day of the surgery.
How to recover faster from fat grafting to face?
To help with healing, take a day or two off from your daily routine depending on your type of work. During that time, make sure to get plenty of rest, maintain head end elevation and avoid straining yourself physically or emotionally. You can use ice fomentation if the swelling is more. At first, you may be a little numb but as the swelling subsides, the sensation will return.
