At Eden Plastic Surgery in Miami, Florida, we offer facial fat transfer as a natural and highly effective way to restore youthful volume to the face. This advanced facial rejuvenation technique uses your body’s own fat to replenish areas that have lost fullness with age, creating a balanced and refreshed appearance without synthetic fillers. Under the care of our founder and medical director, Ali Charafeddine, MD—a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic—patients receive individualized treatment plans designed to achieve elegant, long-lasting results.
What is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, involves harvesting fat from one area of the body—often the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—and precisely transferring it to the face. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to:
- Restore volume to sunken cheeks
- Fill in deep facial lines and wrinkles
- Enhance the lips or under-eye hollows
- Correct mild asymmetry
- Achieve a more youthful and natural appearance
Because the fat comes from your own body, results are biocompatible, long-lasting, and look and feel completely natural. Facial fat transfer is especially appealing to patients seeking a more permanent, natural alternative to dermal fillers or who are concerned about potential reactions to synthetic materials.
The Expertise of Dr. Ali Charafeddine
At Eden Plastic Surgery, facial fat transfer is performed exclusively by Dr. Ali Charafeddine, a board-certified plastic surgeon with elite training from two of the world’s most prestigious medical institutions—the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic. Known for his artistic eye, technical precision, and patient-centered care, Dr. Charafeddine has developed a reputation for creating soft, harmonious results that enhance rather than alter each patient’s unique facial features.
With a background in both plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Charafeddine applies the most advanced fat grafting techniques to ensure smooth, natural contours and long-term graft survival. He approaches every procedure with meticulous planning, tailoring treatment to your anatomy, goals, and aesthetic preferences to achieve truly personalized outcomes.
The Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer offers a range of advantages for patients seeking natural facial rejuvenation:
- Natural-looking results: Using your own fat ensures that the results blend seamlessly with your facial features.
- Long-lasting volume: Fat transfer provides more permanent results compared to temporary fillers.
- Minimal scarring: The procedure involves small incisions, leading to virtually undetectable scars.
- Dual benefit: In addition to facial rejuvenation, the fat is removed from areas of the body where you may want slight contouring.
The Facial Fat Transfer Process
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Miami practice, where Dr. Charafeddine will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and design a tailored treatment plan. On the day of your procedure, fat is gently harvested using minimally invasive liposuction, purified to enhance survival, and strategically injected into targeted facial areas.
Every step is performed with precision to ensure smooth, even distribution of fat for balanced, natural results. Dr. Charafeddine’s advanced training and refined technique help optimize graft survival and minimize downtime, giving you a more youthful appearance with lasting improvement.
Recovery and Results
One of the key benefits of facial fat transfer is its quick recovery period. Patients typically experience mild swelling or bruising that resolves within several days to a week, and most return to their regular activities shortly after treatment. Because the transferred fat becomes integrated into your own facial tissues, the results are long-lasting—often for many years—unlike temporary fillers that require repeated treatments.
