Facial Fat Grafting
Restore Natural Volume with Facial Fat Grafting
Facial fat grafting is a refined surgical procedure designed to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours using the patient’s own fat. It is a versatile and natural approach to rejuvenation, often focusing on areas such as the cheeks, temples, lips, and under-eye region. The result is a smoother, more balanced facial appearance that harmonizes with each person’s unique features.
Candidate Suitability
Facial fat grafting can be suitable for individuals who:
- Wish to restore youthful fullness to areas affected by age-related volume loss.
- Prefer an autologous solution, using their own tissue rather than synthetic fillers.
- Desire subtle and long-lasting facial contour improvements.
- Have adequate fat reserves in donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
Procedure Options and Techniques
Facial fat grafting involves two main stages: fat harvesting and fat placement. Each step is performed with precision to ensure optimal take and natural results.
- Fat is gently extracted from donor areas through a small incision using fine cannulas.
- The harvested fat is purified to isolate the healthiest fat cells for transfer.
- Using meticulous technique, the purified fat is strategically injected into facial areas that require enhancement or balance.
- The procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the patient’s comfort and plan.
While facial fat grafting is generally well-tolerated, as with any surgical procedure, there is a small possibility of temporary swelling, asymmetry, or minor irregularities. These are usually short-lived and improve as healing progresses.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-procedure care is straightforward and tailored to encourage smooth recovery.
- Some minor swelling or bruising may appear and typically resolves over time.
- Patients are encouraged to keep the treated area protected and avoid pressure during the initial recovery phase.
- Light activities can usually be resumed soon after, while exercise is best postponed until the area has settled.
- The transferred fat gradually integrates, and final contour improvements become more apparent as the healing completes.
Facial fat grafting offers a natural, regenerative way to restore facial harmony, drawing on the body’s own tissue to achieve soft, lasting enhancement. Each treatment is carefully planned to meet individual goals with the utmost precision and artistry.

Dr. Evita is the most unbelievably caring surgeon. She takes time to discuss your needs and is so approachable. When I had a breast lift, she held my hand every step of the way. I highly recommend her and would not entertain anyone else. She always returns your messages directly, not through a third party.. Which, to me is everything.. 5 star 💫

Very good surgeon! You come out of the surgery, they take off your gauze and you see your incisions so thin you can’t believe it. The pain is really minimal. The creams she advises you to take and the way you should put them on the incisions help a lot so that after a year they are not noticeable. As far as Botox, she was the only doctor I went to that told me right away about the stuff she uses. I have never seen a more natural result!

I have only good things to say about Ms. Askouni!!! She approached my problem in detail, explained to me in detail the procedure that follows, which made me feel safe and confident. She was talkative and willing to solve any question or hesitation I had. Also, the most important thing is that after the surgery she called me to find out how I was and every week we had contact either by phone or in her office. She is an excellent, kind and friendly doctor. Ms. Magda is also very kind. Always with a smile!!!
