Facial Fat Graft and Fillers
Understanding Facial Fat Grafting and Fillers
Facial Fat Grafting and Fillers are intended to address facial volume loss, hollowing, reduced definition and changes in facial contours that may occur with ageing or individual anatomy. Fat grafting uses a patient’s own fat to restore volume, while dermal fillers use injectable materials to enhance or replace volume in selected areas. A consultation is necessary because the appropriate technique depends on facial anatomy, skin quality, available donor fat, medical history, previous treatments and the patient’s goals.
Personalised Assessment and Planning
At Cosmetiq Hospital, the process begins with a detailed medical and aesthetic assessment. The treating clinician evaluates facial proportions, areas of volume loss, skin and tissue quality, symmetry and the patient’s desired outcome. Medical history, current medication and previous aesthetic or surgical procedures are also reviewed. Based on this assessment, fat grafting, fillers or a combination of treatments may be considered. The proposed approach, alternatives, limitations, expected recovery and potential risks should be discussed before treatment.
How the Treatment Is Performed
The technique depends on the selected treatment. With facial fat grafting, fat is collected from a suitable area of the patient’s body, processed and carefully transferred into selected areas of the face to restore or enhance volume. Dermal fillers are injected into specific facial areas using a technique and product selected according to the treatment objective and anatomy. Treatment areas may include the cheeks, temples, under-eye region, folds, chin, jawline or other areas requiring volume or contouring. The amount and placement are personalised rather than standardised.
Recovery, Aftercare and Results
Recovery varies according to whether fat grafting, fillers or a combination approach is performed. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness or redness may occur. Fat grafting can involve additional recovery at both the facial treatment areas and the area from which fat was collected. With fat transfer, some of the transferred volume may change as healing progresses, while fillers may require future maintenance depending on the product and treatment area. Patients receive individual aftercare instructions and follow-up recommendations based on their procedure.
The Cosmetiq Approach
Cosmetiq Hospital approaches facial volume restoration by considering the face as a whole rather than treating individual lines or areas in isolation. The aim is to create balanced, proportionate enhancement based on the patient’s existing facial structure, tissue quality and priorities. Fat grafting and fillers offer different advantages and are not interchangeable for every patient. Treatment recommendations are therefore made after clinical assessment rather than according to a standard treatment formula.
Book a Consultation
A consultation allows the team to assess the causes and extent of facial volume loss, discuss whether facial fat grafting, fillers or another treatment is appropriate, and develop a personalised treatment plan. Website information is general and does not replace an in-person medical evaluation.
