Restore Volume and Youthful Balance with Your Own Natural Fat

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, our facial fat transfer procedure in Fresno offers a safe, natural way to restore volume and rejuvenate facial contours. By using your body’s own fat, our surgeons can reduce hollowness, soften lines, and enhance definition: delivering long-lasting improvements that look and feel authentic. With advanced techniques and a reputation for artistry, our Fresno team helps patients achieve refreshed, natural beauty without synthetic fillers.

What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, also called fat grafting, redistributes your body’s own fat to restore youthful fullness in the face. Fat is harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, purified, and carefully injected into areas that have lost volume over time.

This technique can address:

  • Hollow cheeks or temples
  • Deep folds such as nasolabial lines
  • Thinning lips
  • Early signs of facial aging

The result is a balanced, youthful appearance using only your own tissue.

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Choosing facial fat transfer in Fresno at Athēnix offers many advantages:

  • Natural results: Uses your own fat for soft, authentic enhancement.
  • Dual benefit: Slims donor areas while restoring facial fullness.
  • Long-lasting improvement: Fat that survives transfer integrates permanently.
  • Custom sculpting: Allows precise reshaping for balanced contours.
  • Minimal scarring: Tiny incisions result in almost no visible marks.
  • Reduced risks: No synthetic fillers, lowering risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

How the Procedure Works

Facial fat transfer is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Fresno facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

  • Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from donor sites such as the thighs or abdomen using liposuction.
  • Purification: The harvested fat is processed to preserve only healthy, viable cells.
  • Injection: The purified fat is carefully placed into targeted areas of the face in small, precise amounts for smooth, natural results.

Recovery and Results

After your procedure, some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal in both the donor and injection areas. Most patients feel ready to return to work and light activities within about one week, while strenuous activity should be avoided for three to four weeks.

As swelling fades, your results become more visible. Unlike temporary fillers, the fat that successfully integrates provides lasting improvement, with final results typically visible within three months. Patients enjoy softer contours, restored volume, and a more youthful, revitalized appearance.
