Facial Fat Transfer

Evansville, IN

Introduction to Facial Fat Transfer

Subtle Enhancement. Lasting Confidence

Facial aging tends to show up as volume loss, flattened cheeks, hollowed under-eye areas, and a face that just looks more tired than it actually feels.

Facial fat transfer uses your own fat to rebuild volume in a way that blends seamlessly with your features. At Conkright Aesthetics in Evansville, IN, Dr. Conkright’s goal is to restore what has been lost and maintain patients’ natural proportions.

What is a Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, which is also known as fat grafting, restores volume to the face using fat taken from another area of your body. Common donor areas include the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.

The process involves removing fat using liposuction, purifying it to isolate healthy fat cells, and then injecting it into targeted areas of the face to help patients restore volume and improve contour.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer is ideal for individuals seeking to restore volume in a natural, long-lasting way.

  • Are experiencing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or under-eye area
  • Want a more natural alternative to dermal fillers
  • Have enough excess fat in the donor areas for harvesting
  • Are in good overall health and able to undergo a minor surgical procedure
  • Are non-smokers or willing to stop prior to surgery

During your consultation, Dr. Conkright will evaluate your facial structure to determine if fat transfer is the right option for you.

What Are the Benefits of a Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer offers a combination of natural enhancement and long-term improvement, making it appealing to patients seeking more than temporary solutions.

  • Uses your own natural fat
  • Can restore volume to cheeks, temples, and under-eyes
  • Improves facial balance and contour
  • Provides longer-lasting results
  • It can improve skin quality due to the regenerative properties within fat cells
  • Can address multiple areas of the face at once

What to Expect on the Day of Facial Fat Transfer Surgery

In many cases, your facial fat transfer will be performed in-office under local anesthesia.

Dr. Conkright will begin with gentle liposuction to collect fat from a donor area. This is done through small, discreet incisions. The fat will then be processed and purified to prepare it for transfer.

Once ready, it will be injected into specific areas of the face using fine instruments. The placement is done in small amounts to ensure smooth, even distribution and natural contour.

Your Guide to Post-Facelift Care

Facial Fat Transfer Recovery

Swelling and bruising are common in both the donor and treatment areas, especially during the first week. There will be some initial fullness due to swelling, but this will settle over time. 

It’s also important that patients avoid applying pressure to treated areas and follow all post-procedure instructions carefully. 

As you heal, a portion of the transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed by the body, but the remaining fat will establish a blood supply and become a lasting part of your facial structure.
