Refresh Your Look with Natural Volume Restoration

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, facial fat transfer in Bellevue offers a refined, long-lasting alternative to temporary fillers. By gently harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, our surgeons can replenish facial volume that has diminished with age, stress, or weight changes. This dual-advantage procedure not only revitalizes your features but also contours donor areas, creating results that are harmonious and natural. Whether you’re looking to soften deep folds, plump thinning lips, or restore fullness in hollow cheeks, facial fat transfer provides a subtle yet transformative way to turn back the clock without synthetic materials.

What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, sometimes called fat grafting, repurposes your body’s own fat to improve facial volume, balance, and structure. The process involves:

  • Harvesting: Fat is carefully removed from a donor area using liposuction.
  • Purification: The fat is processed to preserve only the healthiest cells.
  • Injection: Purified fat is placed in precise amounts to achieve natural, lasting improvement.

This versatile technique can address:

  • Hollow cheeks or sunken temples
  • Deep nasolabial folds (lines between nose and mouth)
  • Thinning or deflated lips
  • Early laxity or volume loss that affects overall facial harmony

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Bellevue patients choose fat transfer for its many unique advantages:

  • Natural results: Enhancement created with your own tissue for authentic softness
  • Dual improvement: Slims donor sites while restoring volume in the face
  • Lasting change: Surviving fat integrates permanently with facial structures
  • Customized sculpting: Allows precise, artistic adjustments to facial contours
  • Minimal scarring: Tiny incisions are discreet and fade well over time
  • Low risk: Avoids synthetic materials, reducing the chance of allergic reaction

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, some swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur in both the donor and treatment areas. These effects typically improve within one to two weeks. Most patients return to light activities in about a week, though more strenuous activity should be postponed for 3–4 weeks.

As swelling subsides, your refreshed results become more apparent. Unlike fillers, which eventually fade, fat that survives transfer becomes a permanent part of your facial structure. By around three months, patients typically see their final results: smoother contours, restored balance, and a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
