Fat Grafting

Fat grafting transfers fat collected from one part of the body to selected areas where volume is being considered.

Clinic guide to facial areas considered for fat grafting: forehead, temples, cheeks, folds and chin. Markers identify areas for assessment, not a treatment recommendation or patient outcome.

Understanding the treatment

The collected fat is prepared and placed in small amounts. The amount that remains varies, so the initial volume is not a reliable measure of the final result.

The choice of treatment depends on the examination, your medical history and the area being treated. Results vary from person to person.

What your doctor assesses

Donor area and recipient-area volume needs
Existing asymmetry and previous injections or surgery
Graft retention, unevenness and possible further treatment

Recovery & things to consider

Both donor and recipient areas need care. Bruising, swelling or unevenness may occur; follow activity, pressure and follow-up instructions for each area.
