What is Fat Grafting to the Face?
Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from one area of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips) and transferring it to targeted areas of the face. This procedure helps to:
-
Restore lost volume caused by aging.
-
Smooth wrinkles, creases, and fine lines.
-
Enhance facial contours and symmetry.
-
Improve skin texture and overall facial harmony.
Because the procedure uses your body’s own fat, it is a natural alternative to synthetic fillers and can offer long-lasting and biocompatible results.
