What is Facelift with Fat Grafting ?
A Facelift with Fat Grafting combines traditional facelift techniques with autologous fat transfer. Fat is gently harvested from another area of the body, purified, and strategically injected into specific facial regions to restore volume and improve contour while the facelift corrects tissue descent.

Surgical planning for lifting and volume restoration

Recovery After Facelift with Fat Grafting
Recovery typically includes: Swelling from fat grafting may take longer to fully settle.
Swelling and bruising during the first 1–2 weeks
Gradual improvement in facial contour and volume
Return to daily activities as healing progresses
Continued refinement of results over several months
Results are generally long-lasting. Lifted facial contours remain improved for many years, and transferred fat that successfully integrates may provide permanent volume enhancement. Natural aging continues, but facial balance remains improved compared to pre-surgery appearance.
