This is a post-op patient facial rejuvenation patient holding up her pre-op photograph! In this case, it’s all done with fat grafting. nothing else, just fat grafting to her face.
Fat transfers help restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and also work to create the appearance of “lifting” the mid section of the face. A well thought out fat transfer will build up some cheek bone structure in the midface region. To some extent, fat transfers can also have a tightening effect on the jowls.
In addition to the volume and structural benefits of fat grafting, the injection of your own fat will increase blood supply in the tissues of your face and do good things for the texture of your skin.
I have been performing facial fat transfers for over two decades now (since 2002). It is a natural solution and the results are fantastic. It is also a more permanent option as compared to any other type of filler. If you’re getting dermal fillers several times a year, consider asking your Plastic Surgeon about a fat transfer.
We’ll be happy to schedule a virtual or in-person consult or answer any questions you may have.

So this is a pre-and post-op patient rejuvenation and in this case, it’s all done with fat grafting. There’s nothing else, just fat grafting.
Now, she had had Graves Disease and there was some wasting of subcutaneous fat and so my approach was initially to begin building up from here, and then see how things did and build out from there. So she had a whole face fat graft reconstruction and you can see the results here.
Now, besides the volumetric improvement, you also see some facial proportion changes like she’s now wider at the cheeks and at the jaw whereas before she was kind of squarish, and the texture of the skin – I’m always amazed at how the texture of the skin changes and improves. Anyways just volume, no surgery, just fat. I love what fat grafting does!
