How Facial Fat Grafting Works
Facial fat grafting is a two-part procedure. First, a small amount of fat is gently harvested from an area of your body that has extra volume, such as the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into areas of your face that have lost fullness due to aging. The result is natural-looking volume restoration that smooths fine lines and softens deeper folds.
Unlike temporary dermal fillers, a portion of the transferred fat becomes a permanent part of the facial structure, giving patients long-lasting rejuvenation. You may appreciate that the procedure utilizes your own fat, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions and provides a more natural enhancement.
Why It’s Considered a Natural Anti-Aging Option
Facial fat grafting stands out because it does more than simply fill hollow areas. Fat contains stem cells and growth factors that may help improve overall skin tone, texture, and elasticity over time. This added regenerative benefit makes the procedure especially appealing if you are seeking a comprehensive, natural rejuvenation.
Additionally, because the fat is injected in small, precise amounts and layered carefully by Dr. Turk, the results can be incredibly subtle and harmonious. The goal is not to drastically change your appearance, but rather to restore what has been lost, helping you look like a more rested and youthful version of yourself.
