About Facial Fat Transfer

A procedure that takes fat from your own body, purifies it, and injects it into the face to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, under the eyes, and lips. Permanent for the fat that survives, natural because it is your own tissue, and often done alongside a facelift.

Sessions

One procedure; a second round is sometimes done to add volume where some fat did not survive

Downtime

Swelling and bruising for 1 to 2 weeks, with the donor site sore for about a week

Good candidate

People with significant facial volume loss who want a long-lasting, natural alternative to repeated filler, and people having a facelift who need volume restored at the same time

  • Your own tissue, so no foreign material and no allergy risk
  • Lasting result for the fat that establishes, unlike filler that dissolves
  • Restores broad volume across the whole face in one procedure
  • Improves skin quality over time, an effect attributed to the stem cells in fat

FAQ

Facial Fat Transfer in Garden City: common questions

How much does Facial Fat Transfer cost in Garden City?

Facial Fat Transfer generally runs $3,500–$8,000 per procedure, and each Garden City clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Garden City clinics for a personalized quote.

How long do Facial Fat Transfer results last?

Results vary by patient, but most Garden City providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Facial Fat Transfer series.

How often should I get Facial Fat Transfer?

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Garden City providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.

Is fat transfer better than filler?

They solve different scales of problem. Filler is precise, adjustable, reversible, and ideal for specific areas and modest volume; it dissolves over one to two years. Fat transfer restores broad volume across the face in one procedure with a lasting result, at a surgical cost and recovery. Many people use filler for years and move to fat transfer when the volume they need each year adds up to several syringes.

How much of the fat survives?

Typically 50 to 70 percent of the injected fat establishes a blood supply and stays permanently; the rest is absorbed over the first few months. Surgeons account for this by placing slightly more than the final volume needed, and a second session is sometimes done to top up. Weight stability afterward protects the result, since the transferred fat behaves like the fat it came from.

Where does the fat come from?

Usually the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, removed with gentle liposuction through a tiny incision. The amount is small and the donor site is sore for a week rather than noticeably changed. The fat is processed to remove fluid and damaged cells before injection.

What is the recovery?

The face is swollen and often bruised for one to two weeks, with the final volume settling over three months as some fat is absorbed. Most people return to work at ten to fourteen days. The donor site is sore for about a week.
