The fullness of a beautiful, young face with rounded cheeks and plump lips best seen in the twenties gets lost with age. Although it mainly depends on your genes, most people start losing volume from the middle and lower face after crossing the mid-thirties, and it progresses further to involve the entire face in the fourth and fifth decade. Fat Transfer or fat grafting can restore the beautiful facial contours from your youth by replenishing the lost facial volume.
The loss of volume (fat) in the face is mainly seen in your cheeks, around the eyes, mouth, jawlines, chin, forehead, and temples. Fat is also lost from the ear lobules, back of the hands, breasts, and buttocks. The age-related deflation of the face can result in loss of prominence of the cheek, under-eye hollows, thin elongated lips, sunken temples, and lines and folds of skin around the mouth and jawline. Your own fat cells or injectable dermal fillers can be used to replenish this lost volume. Fat Transfer can restore the natural, soft, beautiful, and youthful contours of your face. It is also performed for hand rejuvenation, breast enhancement, and buttock augmentation.

He will discuss with you the areas that require treatment and the sites from where the fat can be taken out through liposuction. He will also discuss the procedure in detail, including its advantages, disadvantages, risks, and complications.

Fat Transfer is usually performed as a daycare procedure and can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes approximately 40-60 mins, depending on the areas to be treated. Fat is harvested by liposuction from the tummy, hips, or thighs. The fat cells are purified, separated, and injected into the targeted areas.
Since it’s a daycare procedure, the patient is observed for a few hours post-procedure and discharged the same evening. Some amount of bruising and swelling is expected post-surgery. The swelling usually resolves by 50% within one-week post-procedure and by 70-90% in 3-6 weeks. The result of surgery, even though dramatic and immediately visible, further improves over the next 3-6 months as the swelling disappears.
You will follow up with Dr.Sudhanva 5-7 days after the procedure. Additional follow-ups are advised at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 12 months after your surgery.
Details of Fat Grafting in a Capsule
Does all the fat survive after Fat Transfer?
Despite adequate precautions, about 30% of fat usually gets resorbed after Fat Transfer. For this reason, an excess amount of fat is placed in the buttocks so that your desired result is achieved with the 50-70% of the fat that survives. The process of fat survival and uptake is unpredictable.
Is Fat Transfer a painful procedure?
The pain from the surgical procedure can be easily managed with the help of oral pain killers. Mild discomfort and tightness is expected until the body gets used to the fullness in the face. However, if you are sensitive to pain, we will always be available to assist your recovery.
