Facial Fat Transfer in Orlando

Restore youthful volume and natural facial contours through precise fat grafting performed by Orlando’s trusted aesthetic surgeons.

Refine and Rejuvenate with Your Own Natural Tissue

Facial fat transfer at Clark Institute for Aesthetics offers a sophisticated way to rejuvenate your appearance without a traditional facelift. Using your body’s own fat, our surgeons restore volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness over time, enhancing contour, balance, and texture.

This minimally invasive procedure is performed in our accredited Orlando surgical center and designed to achieve subtle, long-lasting improvements that look completely natural.

Understanding the Facial Fat Transfer Procedure

A facial fat transfer, also called autologous fat grafting, involves removing a small amount of fat from one part of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and carefully injecting it into the face. The process rejuvenates facial features while improving skin tone and texture, creating a refreshed, youthful appearance.

The Fat Transfer Process

Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from the donor area using a small cannula and local anesthesia.
Purification: The extracted fat is purified in a centrifuge to separate healthy fat cells for reinjection.
Placement: The purified fat is meticulously injected into targeted facial areas using microcannulas for precise, even distribution.

This layered approach restores smoothness and structure while enhancing the quality of the overlying skin.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer

This procedure is ideal for men and women who prefer a natural alternative to synthetic fillers or surgical facelifts. You may be a candidate for facial fat transfer in Orlando & Winter Park, FL, if you:

Have facial hollows or volume loss from aging or weight changes
Desire subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation
Have adequate donor fat in another area of the body
Are in good general health and a non-smoker
Prefer results using your body’s own tissue

Our surgeons will assess your goals, anatomy, and donor availability to create a personalized plan.

Preparing for Your Facial Fat Transfer

Proper preparation enhances both safety and results. Before treatment:

Discontinue smoking at least four to six weeks prior
Avoid NSAIDs, vitamins, and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding risk
Stay well hydrated before your procedure
Arrange for transportation and assistance after treatment

Your surgical team will provide detailed pre-procedure instructions tailored to your health and lifestyle.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery after facial fat transfer is typically smooth and comfortable, with minimal downtime compared to traditional facelift procedures.

Expect swelling and bruising during the first one to two weeks
Most patients notice visible improvement by day ten
Makeup may be applied after one week to conceal residual redness
Mild swelling may persist for several weeks as the fat settles naturally

Our Orlando team maintains close contact throughout your healing process to ensure optimal comfort and results.

Results and Longevity

Facial fat transfer results appear gradually as swelling subsides. Once the transplanted fat integrates with surrounding tissue, results are soft, natural, and long-lasting.

Because living fat cells become part of the facial structure, many patients enjoy improvement that endures for years, often with enhanced skin texture from the regenerative properties of the transferred fat.

Common Treatment Areas

Cheeks and midface for contour and lift
Temples and under-eye hollows for smoothness and balance
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines for softening
Lips for refined volume and shape
Chin or jawline for proportional definition
