What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that transfers small amounts of your body’s own fat (fat transfer) to restore volume, contour, and youthful fullness to specific areas of your face. Facial fat transfer (also called facial fat grafting or fat injections) is a type of facial plastic surgery technique used in many facial rejuvenation procedures to correct lost volume and soften an aged appearance. Dr. Brownlee harvests fat from areas like your abdomen or thighs and carefully injects it into targeted areas such as the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds. The harvested fat is processed into smaller particles (even smaller particles when needed), so the injected fat can be placed in small aliquots, layer by layer, for smooth contour and natural results in the treated recipient area. This technique offers a natural and long-lasting way to refresh your look and restore balance to your facial features.
Because facial fat (facial fat grafting) uses your own fatty tissue, it can provide soft, natural-looking facial volume. Fat transfer may also contain stem cells and growth factors that may support skin quality – an area of recent advancements being studied in facial rejuvenation.
Benefits of facial fat grafting include:
- Restored facial volume for a more rejuvenated, youthful appearance (facial volume restoration).
- Softened wrinkles, fine lines, and creases, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds.
- Improvement in skin texture and tone.
- No need for synthetic fillers (an alternative to some non surgical treatments).
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results that restore volume and restore fullness.
- Reduced risk of allergic reaction by using your own tissue.
- Ability to add volume (more volume) in certain areas such as cheeks, chin, and lips (lip augmentation) using transferred fat.

How Soon Will I See Results After My Facial Fat Grafting Procedure?
You will notice some immediate volume improvements after your facial fat grafting procedure, but the most significant results will develop gradually over time. While some of the transferred fat cells are reabsorbed by the body in the first few weeks, the surviving fat integrates into the facial tissue, creating a lasting, natural enhancement. Swelling will also subside over several weeks, revealing more defined outcomes. Typically, noticeable improvements can be seen within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing around 3 to 6 months post-procedure. These results are long-lasting, providing a refreshed, youthful appearance for years to come.
As your recovery process continues, the injected fat settles and facial volume becomes more refined in certain areas (cheeks, lips, chin, and nasolabial folds).

Proper preparation is essential for achieving the best results from facial fat grafting. In the weeks leading up to your procedure, Dr. Brownlee may advise avoiding medications or supplements like aspirin or ibuprofen that can increase bleeding.

The fat used for facial fat grafting is harvested through a gentle liposuction technique. Dr. Brownlee typically selects donor areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Using a small cannula, she carefully removes the fat, which is then processed and prepared for injection. This meticulous process ensures the highest-quality fat is used to achieve smooth, natural-looking results in the treated areas. It also gives you the added benefit of slimming the donor areas. The goal is to create purified fat for transfer, often processed into smaller particles for smoother placement in the recipient area.
Yes, facial fat grafting can be combined with other procedures to enhance your overall results. It’s often performed alongside treatments like a facelift, eyelid surgery, or combined with treatment such as laser resurfacing to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Some patients also ask about platelet rich plasma (PRP) as part of a combination plan; your surgeon can discuss whether it fits your goals.

You may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in both the donor and treated areas during the first few days. Most patients return to daily activities within 1 week, although swelling can take a few weeks to fully subside. Dr. Brownlee will provide detailed post-op instructions to support your recovery and help you maximize your results.
In most cases, facial fat grafting provides long-lasting results after a single session. However, some patients may benefit from additional treatments to achieve their desired volume or refinement, as not all the transferred fat survives during the healing process. Dr. Brownlee will evaluate your progress during follow-up appointments and discuss whether a second session is needed to perfect your results. Many surgeons take a conservative approach – adding volume gradually – to achieve balanced, natural results.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in volume and contour after facial fat grafting, but initial swelling may temporarily mask your final look. As the swelling subsides over the first few weeks, your results will become more refined. It typically takes a few months for the transferred fat to fully settle and integrate, revealing your final, long-lasting outcome.
