One of the key factors in facial aging is the gradual loss and shifting of fat in the face. As natural volume decreases, areas that were once full begin to look hollow, creating shadows and a tired or aged appearance.

Facial fat grafting restores this lost volume by using your body’s own fat to rejuvenate the face. The result is smoother contours, softer transitions between features, and a refreshed, more youthful look.


How Facial Fat Grafting Works

  • A small amount of fat is gently harvested, typically from the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction.
  • The fat is carefully prepared for reinjection.
  • Dr. Nelson strategically places the fat into areas of the face that have lost volume—such as the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, or around the mouth.

Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting

  • Restores youthful fullness to hollow areas
  • Improves facial balance and contours
  • Smooths the “peaks and valleys” that come with aging
  • Uses your own natural fat for long-lasting results
  • Can be performed alone or combined with other procedures, such as facelift or eyelid surgery, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation
