Facial fat grafting is a favorite anti-aging procedure among patients in Scottsdale, AZ, and it’s easy to understand why. This procedure restores lost facial volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances natural contours while also reducing unwanted fat in an area like the belly or thighs.

With 23-plus years of specialized surgical experience, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Lille is renowned for achieving natural results with low complication rates, helping you look and feel your best. Facial fat grafting could be an effective way to look and feel your best, so read on to learn more about it. 

How Does Facial Fat Grafting Work?

Facial fat grafting transfers healthy fat cells from one part of your body to another to restore volume and smooth facial lines. The process includes:

• Liposuction: Harvesting fat from donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips under local anesthesia.
• Fat Purification: Cleaning the fat through a specialized process to ensure only viable cells are used.
• Injection: Dr. Lille expertly injects the purified fat into targeted areas of your face.

This procedure doesn’t just fill out your face — it promotes healthier-looking skin. Your fat contains a plentiful supply of the body’s “master cells,” which trigger your body to make more collagen and elastin (the proteins that support healthy and youthful skin.)

Who Can Benefit from Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Sunken Cheeks
• Undereye Hollows
• Fine Lines
• Facial Folds
• Thinning Lips
• Acne Scars

A combination procedure might be the best fit if you have deep wrinkles and significant skin sagging. For example, Dr. Lille often performs facelift to eliminate excess skin and dramatically tighten skin. Then, he can perform facial fat grafting to restore youthful volume.

Advantages of Facial Fat Grafting

This procedure’s two-in-one nature makes it stand out as a patient favorite. Eliminating stubborn fat and then placing the fat exactly where you want it sounds like a dream, but it can be your reality with facial fat grafting.

Patients may retain up to 70% of the transferred fat long-term, and results may outlast dermal fillers.

Dr. Lille can customize your facial fat grafting procedure, making it a highly flexible option for facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
