Facial fat grafting, also called autologous fat transfer, is a procedure that moves fat from one area of the body to the face to restore volume and improve contour.
Results from facial fat grafting vary. Some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed, while the remaining fat can last for several years.
Facial fat transfer is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified provider. Because it uses your own fat, the risk of allergic reaction is low, and results tend to look natural with minimal risk of rejection.
Fat transfer to the face uses your own tissue and may provide longer-lasting results, while fillers are temporary and require repeat treatments over time.
