Facial volume enhancement restores youthful contours by addressing the natural fullness lost through aging, weight changes, or genetics. At Appearance Center of Newport Beach, our specialists use precise, artfully applied techniques to replenish volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and jawline. This transformative approach softens hollow areas and revitalizes facial balance while maintaining a natural, authentic appearance. Many patients begin exploring options that complement their goals through our surgical facial treatments as part of their personalized rejuvenation plan.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, or fat grafting, is a surgical procedure that permanently restores fat in the face. Fat is typically harvested from the abdomen, flanks, or hips with liposuction. The fat is spun in a centrifuge, then injected carefully beneath the skin in areas where aging and atrophy have caused hollowing. Fat transfer is frequently combined with other surgical procedures such as:
- Fat transfer with facelift – for a youthful restoration of the skin and contours of the face
- Fat transfer with eyelid surgery – for a soft, natural, and replenished appearance
- Fat transfer with mini facelift – for a more conservative and long lasting approach to facial rejuvenation
Patients who are candidates for fat transfer will have moderate to severe volume loss in the face, may be interested in additional surgical procedures, and are looking for long term results.
If you are interested in facial volume enhancement but aren’t sure about undergoing surgery, we also offer non-surgical options.
Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer
Potential benefits include:
- Restoring volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye region
- Softening facial folds, wrinkles, and hollow areas
- Improving facial balance and contour
- Creating natural-looking, long-lasting enhancement
- Using your own fat rather than a synthetic filler
- Treating more than one area of the face during the same procedure
- Removing unwanted fat from a donor area through liposuction
- Providing results that can age naturally with your face
The body may reabsorb some of the transferred fat, but the fat cells that successfully establish a blood supply can remain long-term.
Candidates for Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer may be appropriate for adults with facial volume loss due to aging, weight changes, or genetics who are seeking a longer-lasting alternative to temporary dermal fillers.
Good candidates generally:
- Have facial hollows, volume loss, or contour irregularities they would like to improve
- Have enough excess fat in another area of the body to use as donor tissue
- Are in generally good health
- Have realistic expectations for their results
- Are willing to have minor surgery with a recovery period
- Prefer using their own tissue for facial rejuvenation
Candidates should also understand that not all transferred fat survives, so results can vary and an additional treatment may occasionally be needed. A consultation allows the provider to evaluate your facial anatomy, donor fat availability, and aesthetic goals to determine whether facial fat transfer is a suitable option.
