What is Facial Fat Grafting?
The technical process of facial fat grafting involves the transfer of adipose tissue from one part of the body to the face. This autologous fat transfer begins with the harvesting of a lipoaspirate via gentle, low-pressure liposuction. Once collected, the fat undergoes a rigorous purification process - often involving centrifugation or specialized washing - to separate viable adipocytes (fat cells) from unwanted oils, blood, and lidocaine.
The resulting purified fat is rich in adipose-derived stem cells, which play a crucial role in neo-vascularisation (the formation of new blood vessels) once the fat is injected.
The injection phase utilizes micro-cannula techniques to place the fat in multi-layered micro-droplets. This ensures that each fat cell is in close proximity to a blood supply, which is essential for the long-term survival of the graft. This method is highly effective for correcting malar volume loss and softening the tear trough deformity, resulting in a permanent structural rejuvenation that improves the overlying skin's health and texture. At Kinvara you can also read about deep plane facelift, mini facelift and lip lift.
The benefits of this procedure include:
- Uses 100% natural, autologous tissue, eliminating any risk of allergic reaction or foreign body rejection.
- Once established, the transferred fat provides a permanent volume restoration that ages naturally with the patient.
- Rich in stem cells that enhance skin thickness, texture, and overall radiance in the treated areas.
- Versatile application allows for the precise correction of temples, cheeks, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows.
- Minimal scarring at both donor and recipient sites due to the use of tiny, micro-cannula entry points.

What does Facial Fat Grafting involve?
Facial fat grafting uses a three-stage biological process to naturally restore facial contours and improve skin health.
Gentle harvesting of fat from a donor site like the abdomen or thighs using low-pressure micro-liposuction.
Sterile purification of the harvested fat to isolate the most viable fat cells and regenerative stem cells.
Precise micro-droplet injection of the purified fat into targeted facial areas using blunt cannulas for maximum safety.
Integration phase where the surviving fat cells establish a new blood supply to become permanent facial tissue.

How Long is
the Recovery
AFTER FACIAL FAT GRAFTING?
Recovery from fat grafting involves two sites: the donor area and the face. You can expect significant facial swelling for the first 5 to 7 days, which often makes the face look 'over-filled' - this is a normal part of the process. Bruising is also common and typically fades within 10 to 14 days.
Most patients take 10 days off work to allow the most visible swelling to subside. At the donor site, you may experience mild soreness and bruising similar to a deep bruise, which is easily managed with paracetamol.
You should avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for three weeks, as increased blood pressure can affect the 'take' of the delicate fat cells. The final, settled volume is usually achieved by the three-month mark, at which point the results are considered stable and permanent.
When Will I See
the Final Results?
The results of facial fat grafting are subtle, natural, and remarkably durable. Once the fat has 'taken' (integrated with a blood supply), it stays for life. You will notice a restoration of youthful fullness in the cheeks and temples, a softening of deep folds, and a refreshed look under the eyes. An additional 'bonus' result is the improvement in skin quality; many patients report a healthier glow and thicker, more resilient skin due to the stem cells in the graft. While you will continue to age naturally, you will always have that extra volume foundation, keeping you looking refreshed and more youthful than you would have without the procedure.
