When will I see results from Facial Fat Transfer?
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Palo Alto providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Can I wear makeup after Facial Fat Transfer?
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
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.
