Fat grafting restores youthful volume to the face using your own tissue. Small amounts of fat are harvested from an area such as the abdomen or thighs, purified, and carefully transferred to areas that have lost volume with age commonly the cheeks, temples, under-eye area, and around the mouth. Because the transferred fat is living tissue, the portion that establishes a blood supply becomes a lasting part of your face.

Dr. Denton assesses where volume loss is contributing to your facial aging and discusses how fat transfer compares with or complements other options. It's frequently performed alongside a facelift, where restoring volume and repositioning tissue work together for a more complete rejuvenation.
