Introduction

Are you noticing sunken cheeks, deep folds, or facial hollowness that make you look older or tired? Do fillers feel like a temporary fix?

As we age, we don’t just lose skin elasticity—we also lose the natural fat pads that give our face youthful volume. Facial fat grafting is a highly effective procedure that uses your own body fat to restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya performs facial fat grafting with precision and artistry, offering a long-lasting and natural alternative to synthetic fillers.

Common Causes

Facial volume loss is a natural part of aging, but it can also be accelerated by certain lifestyle factors or health conditions. The fat compartments that once supported the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area begin to shrink, creating a hollow or gaunt look.

Common contributors include:

• Natural aging and fat atrophy

• Significant weight loss

• Genetics and bone structure changes

• Chronic stress and lack of sleep

• Sun damage and environmental exposure

• Overuse of injectable fillers causing tissue thinning

Treatment Process

Facial fat grafting is a three-stage process: fat is harvested from your body, purified, and then injected into specific areas of the face for volume restoration. It’s minimally invasive and leaves no visible scarring.

Step 1: Fat Harvesting

Description: Under local anesthesia, a small amount of fat is gently removed from a donor site such as the abdomen or thighs using micro-liposuction.

Result: Clean, usable fat cells are collected without trauma to surrounding tissue.

Best For: Patients with available fat deposits and no contraindications to local anesthesia.

Step 2: Fat Purification

Description: The extracted fat is processed using advanced centrifugation techniques to separate impurities, oil, and fluids, ensuring only viable fat cells are used.

Result: A high-quality fat concentrate ideal for facial grafting.

Best For: All skin types seeking long-term natural rejuvenation.

Step 3: Fat Injection

Description: Using fine cannulas, the purified fat is carefully injected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, jawline, or nasolabial folds.

Result: Immediate volume enhancement with minimal swelling and no synthetic fillers.

Best For: Volume loss, contour correction, or scar depression treatment.

Before And After Your Facial Fat Grafting Treatment

Before Your Treatment

Patients usually report sunken cheeks, deep lines, tired under-eyes, or poor filler longevity. During your consultation, a volume loss map is created, and fat donor sites are identified.

During Your Treatment

The procedure lasts about 60–90 minutes. You remain comfortable throughout, and both fat harvesting and grafting are done in a single session under sterile conditions.

After Your Treatment

Mild swelling and bruising may appear at the injection or donor site. Most patients resume regular activities within 2–4 days. Final results continue improving over 3–4 weeks and are long-lasting.

Benefits Of Facial Fat Grafting

Unlike fillers, which are temporary and synthetic, fat grafting provides natural and durable results using your own tissue.

Key benefits include:

• Restores youthful facial volume and contour

• Softens wrinkles and fine lines naturally

• No risk of allergic reaction or rejection

• Scar-free and minimal downtime

• Long-term correction compared to dermal fillers

• Improves skin quality over time due to stem cell activity

Lifestyle Tips After Fat Grafting

To optimize your results and ensure fat cell survival:

• Avoid massaging or pressing the treated area for 1–2 weeks

• Sleep on your back with head elevated

• Avoid intense physical activity for 5–7 days

• Eat a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet to support healing

• Refrain from smoking—it reduces fat graft viability

• Keep the skin moisturized and sun-protected

FAQs

Q1. Is facial fat grafting permanent?

Partially. While some fat is reabsorbed in the first 3 months, the remaining fat integrates with your tissues and lasts for years.

Q2. Is it better than dermal fillers?

For long-term results and natural enhancement, yes. Fat grafting is ideal if you want to avoid synthetic products.

Q3. Are there any side effects?

Mild swelling and bruising are common but temporary. Serious complications are rare when done by a trained surgeon.

Q4. Can I combine it with other facial surgeries?

Yes. Many patients combine it with face lift, eyelid surgery, or chin augmentation for full rejuvenation.

Q5. Is there a risk of lumps or irregularity?

Not when done properly. At Asteria, we use micro-fat injections and artistic layering to ensure smooth, even results.
