Restore Youthful Fullness with Natural, Lasting Results
If you’ve noticed hollow cheeks, deepening facial folds, or loss of youthful volume in your face, facial fat grafting may be the rejuvenating solution you’ve been looking for. At Lowe Plastic Surgery in Oklahoma City, we offer advanced fat transfer techniques that use your body’s natural fat to restore facial volume, smooth contours, and reverse signs of aging — all without synthetic fillers.
What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing fat from one area of your body — typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs — and strategically injecting it into areas of your face that have lost volume. Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks and cheekbones
- Under-eye hollows
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Jawline
- Temples
Because your own fat is used, this procedure is biocompatible, meaning there's no risk of allergic reaction. Plus, the results are long-lasting, often more permanent than dermal fillers.
Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting
Patients choose facial fat grafting for a number of compelling reasons:
- Natural-looking results: Your own fat integrates seamlessly with existing tissue.
- Dual benefit: Sculpt unwanted fat from one area while enhancing another.
- Minimal downtime: Less invasive than a full facelift, with faster recovery.
- Long-term improvement: A portion of the transferred fat remains permanently.
- Improved skin texture: Stem cells in fat can enhance skin quality and elasticity.
What to Expect from the Procedure
This treatment is ideal for adults in Oklahoma City who:
- Want a more youthful appearance without synthetic materials
- Are looking for longer-lasting alternatives to fillers
- Have sufficient fat in donor areas for transfer
- Are in good general health and non-smokers
During your personal consultation at Lowe Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lowe will assess your goals, facial anatomy, and medical history to determine if fat grafting is the best solution for you — or if a combination with other facial procedures (like blepharoplasty or facelift) might enhance your results.
Is Facial Fat Grafting Right for You?
Facial fat grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. The procedure involves:
- Fat Harvesting: Liposuction is used to extract fat from a donor site.
- Purification: The fat is processed and refined to ensure only healthy, viable cells are used.
- Injection: The fat is meticulously injected into specific facial areas using microcannulas for smooth, even results.
Recovery time is generally 5–10 days. Swelling and bruising are normal and subside quickly, revealing a refreshed, fuller appearance.
