Fat grafting can be used to create a non-surgical facelift. As people age, fat loss is a common problem. For certain patients with hollowing of the area around the eyes, loss of cheek fat, and prominent jowls, facial fat augmentation can be an alternative to more invasive facial cosmetic surgery. Fat can be harvested from the belly or the thighs, centrifuged, and then reinjected into the face.

A certain amount of the fat will not take and it may take 1-2 additional treatments to obtain the desired results. Fortunately the treatment is permanent and is more affordable than repeated dermal filler injections.
