Facial Fat Grafting
Facial Fat Grafting, also known as facial fat transfer or lipofilling, is a natural and effective procedure that restores lost volume, enhances facial contours, and rejuvenates the overall appearance using your own body fat. As we age, the face loses fat, elasticity, and firmness—leading to hollow cheeks, deep folds, under-eye depressions, and a tired look. Facial fat grafting replenishes this lost volume, giving the face a youthful, smooth, and refreshed appearance.
At our centre, Dr. B. R. N. Padmini performs facial fat grafting with exceptional precision and artistry. The procedure begins by gently harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using micro-liposuction. The extracted fat is then purified to isolate healthy, viable fat cells. Dr. Padmini then meticulously injects the fat into targeted facial areas such as the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, jawline, and lips.
Because this treatment uses your own fat, it is biocompatible and long-lasting, with no risk of allergic reactions. The results are soft, natural, and gradual, offering a more youthful and rejuvenated look without the need for synthetic fillers.
Recovery is generally quick, with mild swelling that subsides in a few days. The transferred fat gradually integrates with the facial tissues, and optimal results become visible over several weeks. A portion of the fat becomes permanent, providing long-lasting enhancement and improved facial balance.
Facial fat grafting is an excellent option for individuals seeking natural rejuvenation, correction of facial hollowness, or restoration of youthful contours. With Dr. B. R. N. Padmini’s expertise in advanced fat transfer techniques, patients receive beautifully refined and harmonious results tailored to their unique features.
