Autologous Fat Transfer
Autologous Fat Transfer in Morristown, New Jersey
As we age, facial volume loss can lead to hollowed cheeks, sunken eyes, and deep folds, giving the face a tired or aged appearance. Autologous fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cutting-edge procedure that uses your body’s natural fat to restore lost volume and rejuvenate your facial contours. Dr. Randall, a facial plastic surgeon, specializes in this advanced technique, providing natural, long-lasting results tailored to your unique features.
What is Autologous Fat Transfer?
Autologous fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one area of your body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—and carefully injecting it into specific areas of the face to restore volume and enhance contours. This procedure is ideal for addressing:
- Sunken cheeks or temples
- Hollowing under the eyes (tear troughs)
- Deep nasolabial folds or marionette lines
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of definition in the jawline or chin
- Overall facial asymmetry
Because the procedure uses your own fat, the results are natural and biocompatible, with no risk of allergic reactions.
Benefits to Autologous Fat Transfer?
Autologous fat transfer offers several advantages over synthetic fillers or implants, including:
Minimally Invasive: Small incisions and injections mean minimal scarring and downtime
Natural Results: The use of your own fat ensures soft, natural-looking enhancement.
Long-Lasting Effects: Unlike dermal fillers, fat transfer results are permanent. It takes about six months for the injected fat cells to develop a new blood supply and to see final results.
What to Expect
Consultation: During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Randall will discuss your goals, perform a thorough evaluation, and create a custom surgical plan.
Procedure: Dr. Randall’s fat transfer procedure involves three key steps to ensure optimal results: gentle liposuction to harvest fat from a donor area, careful purification to retain only healthy fat cells, and precise injection into targeted facial areas to restore natural-looking volume and contours. This process takes around one hour, but is usually combined with other procedures, such as a face lift or neck lift.
Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling and bruising at both the donor and injection sites, which typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within 5-7 days.
