achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation results with facial fat grafting
Aging can affect people differently, but one common concern is the loss of facial volume, which can lead to hollow cheeks, deeper wrinkles, and sagging skin. While fillers and other injectables offer temporary solutions, patients looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation often turn to facial fat grafting. Dr. Bulan, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Bulan Plastic Surgery in Northern New Jersey, specializes in this advanced procedure, providing patients with beautiful, subtle results using their own body’s fat.
What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a minimally invasive procedure where fat is harvested from another part of the body (such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks) and re-injected into areas of the face that have lost volume. Unlike synthetic fillers, which are temporary, the fat used in fat grafting integrates with your tissues, offering more natural-looking and long-lasting results. This procedure can address a variety of concerns, including:
- Sunken cheeks
- Deep folds around the mouth
- Hollows under the eyes
- Thinning lips
By using your own fat, the procedure reduces the risk of allergic reactions and provides results that blend seamlessly with your natural features.
Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting
Many patients prefer facial fat grafting because it provides a range of benefits compared to other rejuvenation treatments:
- Natural Appearance: Since the fat comes from your own body, the results look and feel more natural.
- Long-Lasting Results: Fat grafting offers permanent enhancement as a percentage of the transferred fat survives long-term.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves small incisions for fat harvesting and minimal downtime.
- Dual Benefits: Not only does it restore facial volume, it also contours the area where the fat is removed.
Patients undergoing facial fat grafting with Dr. Bulan experience comprehensive care and a customized treatment plan to ensure the most natural, youthful results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Facial fat grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment. The procedure starts with liposuction, where excess fat is gently removed from the donor area. The fat is then purified and strategically injected into the areas of the face that need volume restoration.
Dr. Bulan’s expertise ensures precision and artistry during the fat transfer process, ensuring that the results enhance your natural features without looking overdone. Most patients experience some mild swelling and bruising post-procedure, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.
