Where on my body is the fat that will be used?

The fat used for your facial fat transfer is typically harvested from areas that have excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. During your consultation, Dr. Doshi will help determine the best donor site based on your body type and where fat is most easily accessible.

Are there any alternative treatments for facial fat transfer?

Absolutely, there are other options besides facial fat transfer. Injectable dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, are popular choices for adding volume and smoothing wrinkles. However, these treatments only provide temporary results, meaning you'll need regular maintenance to keep your look. On the other hand, facial fat transfer uses your body’s own fat for a more lasting solution. Because it’s natural and long-term, many patients prefer fat transfer for achieving subtle yet enduring facial rejuvenation.

What are the risks associated with facial fat transfer?

As with any procedure, there are risks associated with facial fat transfer. These can include infection, asymmetry, fat reabsorption, or bruising at the injection or donor sites. However, because the fat comes from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is minimized. Dr. Doshi will discuss these risks with you in detail to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with the procedure.

Are there any complementary procedures?

Facial fat transfer can be combined with other procedures for more comprehensive results. Many patients pair it with non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® or skin resurfacing to rejuvenate their appearance. In some cases, Dr. Doshi may recommend combining the fat transfer with a facelift or eyelid surgery to address more extensive signs of aging. During your consultation, Dr. Doshi will discuss complementary options that can enhance your overall outcome.

How long will my results last?

Facial fat transfer provides long-lasting results, as the fat that successfully integrates with the tissue in the treatment areas will remain permanently. However, some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body in the months following the procedure. Dr. Doshi typically overfills the treated areas slightly to account for this, ensuring that you are left with your desired outcome. By maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for many years.
