Facial Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer to Face)

Restore lost volume. Rejuvenate naturally — with your own cells.

Facial ageing is not just about skin. As we age, we lose fat, bone, and structural support beneath the skin — causing hollowness under the eyes, flattening of the cheeks, thinning of the lips, and an overall 'deflated' appearance. Facial fat grafting restores this lost volume using the patient's own fat — harvested from the body, refined, and precisely transferred to the face.

volumisation that no filler can fully replicate — because it uses living tissue that integrates permanently with the face. Adipose tissue also contains stem cells and growth factors that actively improve skin quality and texture over time.

Fat grafting is often described as 'two procedures in one' — patients enjoy not only a rejuvenated face, but also a slimmer donor area where the fat was harvested. Why Choose Dr. Bhavya Sree for Facial Fat Grafting?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fat survives the transfer?

On average, 60-80% of transferred fat cells survive long-term. Dr. Bhavya Sree accounts for this by slightly over-correcting at time of surgery. In some patients, a top-up session is performed at 6 months if needed.

Where is the fat taken from? The most common donor sites are the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, or outer thighs. The liposuction scars from harvesting are tiny and virtually invisible. Does fat grafting improve skin quality?

Yes — adipose tissue contains stem cells and growth factors that actively improve skin quality, texture, and collagen production over time. Patients often notice a glow and improvement in skin texture beyond mere volumisation .

Can fat grafting be combined with other procedures? Absolutely. It is very commonly performed alongside facelift, blepharoplasty, or rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
