What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, is a procedure that removes fat from one area of the body and carefully injects it into areas of the face that have lost volume. This technique restores fullness, improves contour, and enhances facial harmony using your body’s own tissue.

Restore volume in the cheeks and mid-face
Soften deep folds and facial creases

What to Expect After Facial Enhancement
Facial Fat Transfer Recovery and Results
Results are visible soon after the procedure, with continued improvement as swelling subsides and the transferred fat stabilizes. While some fat is naturally reabsorbed, the remaining fat establishes a lasting blood supply and becomes a permanent part of the treated area. Patients typically enjoy softer contours, restored volume, and a refreshed appearance. Final results continue to refine over several months as healing completes.
How to Heal Smoothly and Protect Your Results
Proper aftercare is essential to maximize fat survival and achieve optimal results. Dr. Shamoun provides detailed post-operative instructions, which may include:
Rest: Keep your head elevated during early recovery
Incision Care: Keep donor and treatment areas clean
Activity: Avoid strenuous movement for several weeks
Hydration & Nutrition: Maintain a balanced diet and hydration
Cold Compresses: Reduce swelling as directed
Medication: Take prescribed medications as instructed
Follow-Up: Attend all scheduled post-operative visits
Sleep: Rest on your back, slightly elevated.
Typical Facial Fat Transfer Recovery Timeline
