Fat grafting helps restore lost volume due to aging by taking a small amount of fat from another area of the body (typically the inner thigh or stomach) and injecting it into a specific area. It’s often combined with other facial procedures, such as a facelift or lower eyelid surgery, to comprehensively restore the face.
Volume loss in the face is common after weight loss and as we age. Fat grafting naturally restores fullness using your own fat.
The fat grafting recovery time will fall within the recovery time of whatever procedure with which it’s combined. You can expect mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness around the donor area and possible water submersion restrictions.
Unlike fillers that diminish over time, fat grafting is a long-term solution to volume loss.
