Facial Fat Transfer in Pasadena, CA

Restore natural fullness and facial harmony with fat transfer at Athēnix Pasadena, where your own tissue is used to soften lines, enhance definition, and create long-lasting results.

Rejuvenate Your Features with a Natural Approach

At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery, facial fat transfer in Pasadena, CA, offers patients a safe and effective alternative to synthetic fillers. By repurposing fat from another area of your body, our surgeons restore youthful volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial balance in a way that looks and feels authentic. This dual-benefit procedure not only refines facial contours but also slims donor areas, leaving patients with results that are as natural as they are lasting.

What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, involves harvesting fat from one part of the body and carefully injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume over time. Using advanced purification and placement techniques, our Pasadena surgeons create smooth, natural improvements that rejuvenate your appearance.

This procedure can address:

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

The result is a softer, more youthful look using only your own tissue.

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Patients choose facial fat transfer at Athēnix Pasadena for many reasons, including:

Natural results: Uses your body’s own fat for soft, authentic enhancement
Dual benefit: Slims areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks while restoring volume
Long-lasting improvements: Transferred fat that survives integrates permanently
Custom sculpting: Allows precise, artistic reshaping of the face
Minimal scarring: Tiny incisions are discreet and nearly invisible once healed
Reduced risks: Avoids synthetic materials, lowering chances of allergic reactions

How the Procedure Works

Facial fat transfer is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Pasadena facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The process includes:

Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks with liposuction.
Purification: The fat is processed to isolate the healthiest, most viable cells.
Injection: Purified fat is placed in small, precise amounts into targeted facial areas for smooth, natural results.

Recovery and Results

Following treatment, patients may notice swelling, bruising, or mild soreness in both donor and injection sites. Most individuals feel comfortable returning to work and light activities within about one week, while more strenuous activities should be delayed for 3–4 weeks.

As healing progresses, results become increasingly refined. Unlike temporary fillers, the fat that successfully integrates provides permanent improvement, with final results typically visible within three months. Patients enjoy restored volume, softer contours, and a naturally youthful look that enhances confidence.

How long do results last?

Transferred fat that successfully survives becomes a permanent part of your facial tissue, providing long-term volume and contour. Natural aging will still continue over time.

Is the procedure safe?

Yes. Because fat transfer uses your own tissue, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low when performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon.

How does it compare to fillers?

Dermal fillers provide temporary volume that gradually dissolves, while fat transfer can offer permanent, natural-feeling volume with a single procedure once the fat integrates.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Fat transfer is commonly combined with procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery, or skin rejuvenation treatments to achieve more comprehensive facial enhancement.
