Facial Fat Grafting Surgery
-
During your consultation with Dr. Nichols, he will carefully analyze the condition of your face to determine whether you are a good candidate for facial fat grafting. This is a procedure that uses small amounts of liposuction to remove donor fat cells from an area of excess on your body—such as the abdomen, hips, or buttocks—and safely transfer the harvested fat to replenish volume that was lost with age. Dr. Nichols will first need to make sure you have an adequate amount of excess fat in other areas that can be used to achieve your desired outcome. Because this procedure uses your body’s own fat cells rather than synthetic material, there is no risk of allergic reaction.

Each patient’s fat grafting procedure will vary based on their desired outcome, how much fat will be needed, and where it will be taken from. Dr. Nichols will explain the steps of your individual procedure in detail before your surgery. Once you are ready, the two of you could set up a time for your surgery that fits with your schedule.

Dr. Nichols will begin by making a small incision near the area where donor fat will be harvested from. A thin cannula is then inserted through the incision and into the underlying layer of fat to perform liposuction. Once the necessary fat is removed, it is prepped for injection.
Dr. Nichols will use a syringe to inject the fat cells into key areas of the face to restore volume and provide you with the youthful and natural-looking facial contours you’ve been wanting. Patients often love this procedure for how it removes unwanted fat from stubborn areas while restoring volume where it is needed.
