Fat Grafting For Facial Rejuvenation
Conveniently located to serve Walnut Creek
As we age, our facial structures naturally lose volume and elasticity. To counter this, fat grafting is utilized to restore volume and enhance facial features. At Dr. Nouri Ghorbani’s Walnut Creek practice, we specialize in advanced techniques like fat grafting, which is personalized to improve your natural appearance.
Fat grafting involves using your body’s own fat to replenish volume and refine facial contours, resulting in a harmonious and natural look. Stem cells found in fat further enhance tissue quality and rejuvenation upon introduction. Fat can be sourced from various areas, such as the neck or abdomen, for grafting. Approximately two-thirds of the grafted fat will integrate and become a permanent part of your facial structure.
Who Is in Need of Fat Grafting for Facial Rejuvenation?
Men who want to use their excess fat to volumize areas of the face that have naturally lost volume are ideal candidates. These areas can include hollow temples, gaunt cheeks, and a sagging jawline. Certain scars can be filled in, as can wrinkles like the nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Patients must be in good health to undergo fat grafting. Any critical treatments for severe health problems will need to be concluded first. Non-smokers are ideal candidates for facial fat grafting; smokers will need to quit before undergoing this treatment.
Fat Grafting Procedure for Men
Fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the face with little to no downtime. We start by harvesting fat from areas like the hips, thighs, abdomen, or neck, where it is often in excess. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into specific areas of your face. This fat transfer for facial rejuvenation technique targets locations that benefit most from increased volume, such as under the eyes or along the cheekbones, to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance.
How Fat Grafting Works
Our practice employs various methods of facial fat transfer, including:
- Microfat transfer – It involves injecting small droplets of fat to provide a smooth, even distribution.
- Nanofat – A refined form of facial fat transfer, nanofat is utilized to improve the skin’s texture and quality.
Importantly, the fat used in these procedures is rich in stem cells, which have been shown to offer additional anti-aging benefits by promoting skin health and vitality.
Benefits of Fat Grafting Facial Rejuvenation
Fat grafting offers a versatile solution to multiple facial concerns, including:
- Restoring volume to the cheeks and temples
- Plumping thin lips
- Complementing the results of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Smoothing deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Improving the appearance of pitted acne scars
The results achieved with fat grafting are not only natural but are personalized to improve your individual facial structure, ensuring that your results are as unique as you are.
Fat Grafting Results
The benefits of fat grafting are long-lasting. Once the transferred fat stabilizes, it integrates with your facial tissues, providing results that are considered permanent. Compared to synthetic dermal fillers, fat grafting carries a lower risk of allergic reactions, as it uses your own biological material.
