What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Autologous fat transfer to the face is popular for its natural and long-lasting results. It restores fullness and contours, especially around the eyes, jawline, and cheeks, where aging causes volume loss. The procedure involves taking excess fat from your body, purifying it, and injecting it into targeted facial areas to smooth wrinkles and enhance volume. This offers the dual benefit of rejuvenating the face and improving body contours. Contact Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL for more details or to schedule a consultation.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Fat transfer involves two steps: liposuction and fat placement. Using local or twilight anesthesia, a small amount of fat is harvested from areas, like the flanks, hips, or abdomen. The fat is then purified and injected into the face using various techniques to ensure smooth and effective results. This purified fat is strategically placed in the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes to boost volume and reduce wrinkles and facial scars.
What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?
Skin filler injections are some of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures performed globally. While these treatments make use of synthetic formulas, facial fat grafting in Pensacola, FL offers similar results with numerous added advantages, such as:
- Utilizes your own fat rather than artificial fillers
- Fills out the lips, cheeks, and more
- Less chance of allergic reactions
- Reduces the appearance of scarring
- Draws spare fat from problem areas
- Lasting aesthetic improvement
- Firms and fills out skin
- Limited downtime
- Smooths fine lines and furrows

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this procedure be repeated if needed?
Fat grafting can be repeated if additional volume is desired or if a touch-up is needed due to fat resorption. Our team can reassess your results during follow-up visits and make a personalized recommendation.
What should I avoid after facial fat grafting?
For the first few weeks, you should avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and facial pressure (like sleeping face-down). Following all post-operative instructions closely will help ensure proper fat retention and optimal healing.
How long do the results last?
Results from facial fat grafting are long-lasting. While some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body initially, the remaining fat typically integrates with existing tissues, providing enduring enhancement.
