Facial Fat Grafting in Las Vegas, NV

Facial fat grafting restores lost volume using your own natural fat to soften contours, enhance balance, and refresh your appearance with results that look and feel authentic to you.

What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a procedure that restores volume by harvesting fat from one area of your body and carefully placing it into targeted areas of the face. It addresses age-related volume loss while maintaining natural softness and facial harmony.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial volume loss is a natural part of aging and can make the face appear tired, hollow, or less defined. Facial fat transfer addresses this issue by restoring volume using your own natural tissue. Patients benefit from softer contours, improved facial balance, and rejuvenation that looks natural rather than artificial.
Because the transferred fat integrates with your existing tissue, results can be long-lasting and age gracefully over time.

Facial fat transfer in Las Vegas is especially beneficial for patients seeking a more permanent alternative to injectable fillers while preserving natural facial movement and expression.

Am I a Candidate for Facial Fat Transfer?

This is one of the most important questions to consider before pursuing facial fat grafting. Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals experiencing age-related facial volume loss who desire natural-looking, longer-lasting restoration. Candidates must also have adequate donor fat available for transfer. Patients seeking dramatic overfilling or instant, temporary enhancement may not be good candidates for this procedure.

A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sina is essential to determine candidacy. During your evaluation, he will assess your facial anatomy, volume loss patterns, skin quality, and overall health to ensure facial fat transfer is an appropriate option. If it is not, he will take the time to explain why and discuss alternative treatments.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Fat Harvesting: A small amount of fat is gently removed from a donor area, typically the abdomen or thighs, using precise, low-impact techniques designed to preserve fat cell viability.
Fat Processing: The harvested fat is carefully purified to isolate healthy fat cells. This step is critical to improve graft survival and ensure smooth, consistent results once transferred to the face.

Strategic Fat Placement: Dr. Sina meticulously injects the purified fat into specific facial areas, restoring volume while respecting natural contours, symmetry, and facial movement.
Combination with Other Procedures: Facial fat transfer is often performed alongside procedures such as facelift or eyelid surgery to enhance overall rejuvenation and create balanced, long-lasting results.

Your Recovery and Results After Facial Fat Grafting

Recovery from facial fat grafting is generally well tolerated, with mild swelling and bruising in both the donor and treatment areas that improve over the first one to two weeks. Most patients return to normal daily activities within a week as the face gradually softens and settles.

Results develop progressively as swelling subsides and the transferred fat stabilizes. When performed with precision, facial fat grafting restores youthful volume with soft, balanced contours that look natural and age gracefully—never overfilled or artificial.

Facial Fat Trasnfer FAQs

How is facial fat grafting different from dermal fillers?

Fat grafting uses your own tissue and can provide longer-lasting volume, while fillers are temporary and require ongoing maintenance.

Will all of the transferred fat survive?

Not all transferred fat cells survive. Dr. Sina accounts for this during placement to achieve balanced, predictable results.

Where is facial fat typically placed?

Common areas include the cheeks, under-eye hollows, temples, jawline, and smile lines, depending on individual anatomy and goals.

Will facial fat grafting change how my face moves or expresses emotion?

No. When performed correctly, fat grafting enhances volume without restricting facial movement or altering expression.

Can facial fat grafting be repeated?

In some cases, a second fat grafting session may be recommended to fine-tune results or add additional volume after initial healing.

Can facial fat grafting be combined with non-surgical treatments?

Yes. Fat grafting may be paired with laser resurfacing or other skin treatments to improve overall facial texture and tone.
