Facial fat grafting in Dubai

Fat transfer to the face, also known as fat grafting, is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that can restore lost volume and contour to areas of the face.

It involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, usually the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to the face to provide natural, long-lasting results. In recent years, nanofat has opened up new possibilities in facial fat transfer in Dubai. Nano fat contains stem cells, which can help promote tissue regeneration and improve the body’s ability to absorb and use fat.

Areas of the face that benefit from fat transfer

Fat transfer to cheeks: Fat transfer can restore youthful volume to the cheeks, creating a fuller, more lifted appearance.

Under-eye area: Fat transfer to the under-eye area can help reduce dark circles and hollow areas, leading to a fresher and more rejuvenated look.

Nasolabial folds: Fat grafting can smooth deep lines around the mouth, offering a more youthful, less tired appearance.

Temples: Fat transfer can help restore volume to the temples, which often hollow out as we age.

Chin and jawline: Fat can also be transferred to the chin and jawline to help create a more defined, youthful profile.

Facial fat transfer procedure

A surgeon will first harvest the fat from the donor area during a fat transfer to the face. The fat is then carefully prepared and purified before being injected into the face using a unique micro-droplet injection technique.

This technique helps ensure the fat is evenly distributed and adequately absorbed into the face. The fat that survives the transfer process and remains in the face can vary from patient to patient but typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent.

In addition to restoring volume and contour to the face, fat transfer can also help soften wrinkles and lines, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the definition of the face. It is important to note that fat transfer to the face is not a substitute for a facelift surgery or a one-time procedure. Patients may need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results.

Microfat vs Nano fat grafting

Microfat and nano fat grafting are two distinct techniques used in facial fat transfer, each serving different purposes. Microfat involves harvesting and processing fat to restore volume in areas that have lost fullness, such as the cheeks or under-eye area.

It is ideal for providing structural support and enhancing the contours of the face.

On the other hand, nanofat grafting is a more refined version of fat transfer. The fat is processed further to create a smoother texture, making it ideal for rejuvenation.

Nano fat is typically used to treat fine lines and wrinkles and to improve skin texture, providing a natural, youthful glow. While both techniques involve fat transfer, micro fat focuses on volume restoration, while nano fat enhances the skin’s overall appearance and tone.

Fat transfer to the face recovery

The recovery process after fat transfer is relatively straightforward, with most patients experiencing mild swelling and bruising that typically resolves within a week or two. Here’s a general timeline for fat transfer recovery:

  • First few days: Swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses.
  • Week 1-2: Most swelling and bruising will subside, but you may need to avoid strenuous activities.
  • 3-4 Weeks: You can begin to return to normal activities, though you should continue avoiding activities that strain your face.
  • 3-6 Months: The final results of the fat transfer will become evident as the fat settles into its new location.

When considering fat transfer to the face, a qualified and experienced surgeon is essential. A surgeon should have a good reputation, excellent training, and sufficient experience performing this procedure.

Additionally, you should ask to see before and after photos of past patients and ensure you feel comfortable with the surgeon. The best surgeons will take the time to review the procedure’s risks and benefits and answer any questions you may have.

Fat transfer to the face can provide natural, long-lasting results and help restore lost volume and contour to areas of the face. When choosing a surgeon, looking for an experienced and qualified practitioner familiar with the latest techniques and technologies is essential.

Additionally, asking to see before-and-after photos of past patients is essential to ensure you feel comfortable with the surgeon. With the right surgeon, you can achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
