Refresh Your Face with Fat: How Facial Fat Transfers Can Rejuvenate Your Look

As we age, our faces naturally lose volume — the full, youthful contours of our cheeks, temples, and under-eyes begin to flatten, and fine lines and wrinkles become more noticeable. This gradual loss of subcutaneous fat is one of the key reasons we look older, even when our skin remains healthy. Fortunately, there’s a natural, long-lasting way to restore that lost volume and revitalize your appearance: a facial fat transfer.

At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in Dallas, TX, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in facial fat transfer procedures that use your body’s own fat to smooth wrinkles, fill hollows, and rejuvenate your features — all without synthetic fillers.

Why Fat Is the Natural Solution for Facial Rejuvenation

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat injection, uses fat harvested from your own body — typically from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks — to restore volume where it’s needed most. The fat is carefully purified and then precisely injected into targeted areas of the face to enhance contours and improve overall balance.

Unlike synthetic fillers, which dissolve over time, fat grafting provides a natural, long-term solution because the transferred fat integrates with your tissue and continues to live in its new location. The result? Softer, more youthful contours and skin that looks refreshed, not “filled.”

What Facial Fat Transfer Can Treat

Facial fat transfer is one of the most versatile procedures in modern facial rejuvenation. It can restore youthful fullness, smooth deep lines, and correct asymmetry — all with your body’s own natural material.

Common treatment areas include:

• Under-eye hollows: Fat smooths the delicate skin beneath the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles and tired eyes.
• Flat or sunken cheeks: Adds lift and contour to restore youthful roundness and definition.
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines): Softens deep creases running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
• Marionette lines and jawline: Restores firmness and reduces jowling for smoother lower-face definition.
• Temples: Fills depressed temples that can make the upper face look hollow or aged.
• Lips: Adds subtle fullness and natural softness.

Because fat is completely biocompatible, it’s safe for nearly all patients and carries virtually no risk of allergic reaction.

The Procedure: How It Works

A facial fat transfer is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or light general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. The procedure involves three main steps:

• Fat Harvesting: Dr. Azouz gently removes a small amount of fat from an area like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using a specialized liposuction technique.
• Purification: The fat is processed and purified to isolate healthy, viable fat cells.
• Injection: Using fine cannulas, the purified fat is strategically injected into targeted areas of the face to achieve smooth, even, and natural contours.

Because the injections are so precise, patients can expect improved symmetry and youthful definition without an overdone look.
