When considering facial rejuvenation, most people look at each procedure individually. However, some of the best results come from combining treatments. For example, facial fat grafting is a versatile technique that pairs beautifully with other procedures to restore youthful fullness and enhance overall balance.
At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, serving Denver, Greenwood Village, and Beverly Hills, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Ladner specializes exclusively in face and neck procedures. With over 15 years of experience, he often incorporates facial fat grafting into comprehensive surgical plans to deliver natural, long-lasting improvements.
The Benefits of Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting uses your own fat, harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to restore volume in the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, or around the mouth. Unlike fillers, which are temporary, transferred fat can integrate with your tissues for longer-lasting results. This makes it an excellent complement to surgeries that reposition or tighten structures but don’t replace lost volume.
Combining With a Facelift or Deep Plane Facelift
While a facelift addresses sagging skin and underlying muscles, it doesn’t restore volume to areas that have thinned with age. Adding fat grafting during a facelift enhances the results by filling hollow cheeks or smoothing deep folds. The combination creates a more youthful, harmonious appearance that looks refreshed rather than tight.
Complementing Eyelid Surgery or Brow Lift
Blepharoplasty and brow lifts brighten the eyes and elevate drooping tissues. Adding subtle fat grafting under the eyes or in the temples softens transitions and reduces shadows, giving the entire upper face a rested, vibrant look. Together, these procedures create a balanced result that enhances both structure and softness.
Enhancing Chin or Neck Procedures
Chin augmentation and neck tightening refine the lower face and profile. Fat grafting can complement these by adding gentle contouring to surrounding areas, ensuring the jawline and midface transition smoothly for a natural finish.
A Personalized Approach
Every face is unique, and combining procedures requires a surgeon with deep expertise in anatomy and artistry. Dr. Ladner’s facial-only specialization means he tailors each surgical plan for balance, proportion, and results that stand the test of time.
