A fat transfer to the face can help enhance regions that have been affected by a loss of volume due to ageing or extreme weight loss. If you are suffering from a “skeletal” appearance, our fat grafting facelift is an ideal treatment to restore volume.

Stress, age or weight loss are common situations that can negatively affect your facial aesthetic image. At ICCM, our doctors have perfected the fat transfer technique, which involves the harvesting of fat from other areas of the body and then grafting this harvested fat into hollowed areas of your face. This procedure is often considered to be a ‘two-in-one’ as you can reduce and sculpt areas like the love handles, outer thighs or stomach with liposculpture while at the same time achieving a more plump and youthful face!

The ability to re-volumise your face with a fat face transfer

This is done using microcannulas and the most up-to-date techniques which creates the following benefits:

  • Long-lasting results thanks to our modern procedures
  • A more youthful appearance
  • The two-in-one benefits of liposculpture in a problem area elsewhere on your body and improvement to your facial aesthetic

What is involved with the fat grafting facelift?

This procedure involves the removal of a small amount of fat from a particular area on the body - commonly, the hips, outer thighs or stomach. Roughly 25-30mls is removed as a thin layer, so no visible ‘indent’ is created. This fat is then prepared and injected into the facial areas that require treatment.

The longevity of results varies depending on the area being treated, but previous procedures have seen great results of up to three years or longer.
