Fat grafting
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of the body and injecting it into the face to restore volume and youthful contours. This technique is used to enhance facial features, smooth out wrinkles, and fill in hollow areas, such as under the eyes or in the cheeks. The procedure not only improves facial aesthetics but also provides natural-looking and long-lasting results, as the transferred fat integrates with the existing tissues. Facial fat grafting is popular for its minimally invasive nature and the added benefit of contouring the donor site, typically the abdomen or thighs.

The process
01. Personalized Consultation
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and assess your facial structure. Our surgeons will discuss the procedure and develop a personalized plan to achieve the desired contour and definition for your face.
02. Preparing for Surgery
Preparation for your facial fat grafting procedure includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.
03. The Fat Grafting Procedure
During the procedure, you may be given anti-anxiety medication to help you relax. Local anesthesia is injected inside the cheek. Dr. Song then makes a precise incision inside your cheek to expose and remove the buccal fat pad, creating a sculpted and defined appearance. The incision is closed with dissolvable sutures, ensuring no visible scarring.
04. Recovery & After Care
After the surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. Patients are advised to avoid interfering with the sutures and to follow a liquid or soft diet for a few days. Dr. Song may prescribe a mouth rinse to reduce the risk of infection. Swelling will subside over several weeks, revealing a slimmer and more contoured facial shape.
