Facial Fat Transfers

Facial Fat Transfer

Restore youthful volume and enhance your natural contours with facial fat transfer, a sophisticated procedure that uses your own body’s fat to rejuvenate the face. This minimally invasive treatment can smooth wrinkles, lift cheeks, plump lips, and soften hollow areas, providing natural-looking results that age gracefully. By using your own fat, the procedure not only restores volume but also nourishes the skin for a refreshed, radiant appearance.

What Can I Expect?

Facial fat transfer is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation for your comfort. During the procedure, fat is gently harvested from a donor area, such as the abdomen or thighs, and carefully purified before being strategically injected into areas of the face that need volume and contouring. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at both the donor and treatment sites, which typically resolves within 1–2 weeks. Results appear gradually as the transferred fat integrates with your natural tissue, creating long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation. Your provider will give detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

After Facial Fat Transfers

Do not remove compression garment or foam padding. You may need to change the dressing over the incision sites every few hours. As there may be drainage through the dressings, consider purchasing a plastic sheet or shower curtain to protect your mattress.
You may take two, Extra Strength Tylenol every 4-6 hours for the first week following your surgery. For more severe pain, you may take the pain medication prescribed to you by Dr. Yannis. Do not take pain medication on an empty stomach.
After seeing Dr. Yannis the day after your surgery, you may take a shower. Do not soak in the bath for 2 weeks. Do not go in a pool, hot tub, or lake for 3 weeks.
DO NOT ICE the treated areas. This can impair circulation and cause tissue necrosis.
During the first week following your procedure, DO NOT LAY FLAT. Keep your head elevated above your heart while both awake and asleep.
Refrain from physical work or exercise for 7-10 Days following your procedure. Avoid any activities or motions that will cause blood to rush to your head, like lifting or bending over.

If you have any unexpected questions or concerns, please call the office immediately, (423) 508-7337.
