What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer — or fat grafting — is a surgical procedure that uses harvested fat from another area of your body to enhance facial volume and improve overall facial appearance. Dr. Ladner often combines it with facelift and eyelid surgery for more noticeable rejuvenation.
Good candidates for facial fat transfer are typically seeking facial rejuvenation, enhanced volume, or correction of facial asymmetry. Ideally, candidates should have sufficient excess fat in donor areas to enable the fat grafting procedure.
Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer can improve your skin and give you a more youthful appearance. Many people choose facial fat transfer to enjoy the following benefits:
- Natural-looking results: Facial fat transfer takes advantage of your body’s biological processes, leaving you with natural-looking results.
- Minimal risks: Because this procedure uses your own cells, there are minimal risks associated with allergic reactions, bodily rejection, or other side effects.
- Short recovery: The healing time after facial fat transfer is brief, taking only two to three weeks for a full recovery.
How Is Facial Fat Transfer Performed?
Face fat transfer involves a 3-step process. It begins with liposuction to collect excess fat from a donor area, such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. Dr. Ladner then uses an advanced nano-fat purifying system to prepare the harvested fat for transfer.
After the fat is safely collected, Dr. Ladner uses a small cannula or syringe to meticulously place the purified fat into targeted facial areas requiring augmentation or rejuvenation. This precision ensures a smooth and natural-looking outcome.

What To Expect During Facial Fat Transfer Recovery
After the procedure, patients may experience some initial mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the injection site, which typically resolves within seven to ten days. As your body adjusts to the procedure, the transferred fat will naturally integrate with surrounding tissues and their blood supply, resulting in long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Swelling and bruising at the liposuction site may linger longer, generally taking two to three weeks to resolve fully. Dr. Ladner may place a bandage or compression garment over the liposuction site to inhibit swelling and fluid accumulation.
