Fat Transfer Face

Autologous Fat grafting; Micro Fat Grafting; Nano Fat Grafting
With weight loss and ageing, the face can lose a lot of volume which leads to a sunken undereye area, flat cheeks, deep nose to mouth lines, under projected chin, or deep lines and folds. All of these problems related to facial volume loss can be treated with the transfer of fat from unwanted fat deposits on the tummy or thighs, to the face. This operation is often combined with other facial surgeries such as Face & Neck Lift and Eyelid tucks. When done on its own, the operation can be done under local anaesthesia with sedation. The procedure is a well-established and safe operation.
The fat is harvested with thin liposuction tubes, then purified by decanting, centrifuging or washing and then injected into the areas of the face that are to be volumized.

What are the side effects and how long does the swelling and bruising from Fat Transfer to Face last?
The swelling can increase over the first 3 days after the surgery, at which point it starts diminishing slowly. This process can be helped with sleeping with extra pillows, staying upright and using cold packs in the initial stages. The swelling and bruising generally dissipate over a few weeks. You can start using makeup as early as the 4th postoperative day.
It will be around a week to 10 days before the swelling and bruising have settled to a level where you might feel comfortable with going out of the house.
