FACIAL FAT TRANSFER IN RIVERSIDE, CA

Should I get a dermal filler or fat transfer?
Either a facial fat graft or a dermal filler (for example, JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®) may improve the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles while also adding volume. Although fillers can give you beautiful results, a facial fat transfer usually looks more natural and lasts longer. If you need help deciding how much volume you want and in which areas, our team may recommend starting with dermal fillers. Once you’ve decided what you want, a member of our staff will perform a fat transfer for long-lasting results.

Can facial fat grafting be combined with another procedure?
A fat transfer to the face may be combined with a nonsurgical treatment, like a wrinkle relaxer (BOTOX®) or a skin treatment (for example, a facial). Facial fat grafting has also become a popular treatment to complement another cosmetic surgery. A fat graft will add volume to improve the balance and proportion of your face during a facelift, chin implant, or cheek implant. Talk to our team in your consultation about your wants so they can develop a plan with nonsurgical and surgical treatments that help to reach all your aesthetic goals.

How long does facial fat grafting take?
How long it takes to complete your fat transfer will vary, depending on how much fat is being taken, as well as the volume needed to reach your goals. As soon as your treatment plan is developed in your initial consultation, a member of our staff will go over what you should expect, including how long it will take. Our team takes their time to carefully place thin layers of fat with advanced techniques so your results are beautiful.

Which areas of the face can be improved with fat grafting?
A fat transfer may be used in a number of locations to add volume or decrease wrinkles. Fat grafting is ideally designed to augment or enhance the mid-face so that this area looks fuller and lifted without having to undergo surgery. In addition, transferred fat can also be used to add volume to your lips. You may also use a fat transfer to fill the hollow or sunken under-eye areas. A fat transfer to your face may also treat pitted acne scars and wrinkles (for example, marionette lines or brow furrows). Our team will develop your custom treatment plan to address one or more areas of your face based on your needs and goals.
