Facial volume loss is a natural part of the aging process and can contribute to hollow eyes, flattened cheeks, deep facial folds, and thinning lips. While surgical procedures can tighten loose skin and reposition facial tissues, they do not restore lost volume. Facial fat transfer addresses this concern by using a patient’s own fat to replenish volume in targeted areas, helping create a fuller, more youthful facial appearance.
Patients throughout Atlanta and Sandy Springs choose Dr. Brian Maloney for facial fat transfer because of his specialized expertise in facial rejuvenation. Dr. Maloney is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology and completed advanced fellowship training focused exclusively on cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face. His experience with facial anatomy and advanced fat transfer techniques allows him to create natural-looking results that enhance facial contours while maintaining facial harmony.
Is Facial Fat Transfer Right for You?
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Facial Fat Transfer is to meet with Dr. Maloney. During your consultation appointment, Dr. Maloney will discuss your cosmetic goals and will recommend the best procedures for your needs. In general, Facial Fat Transfers are recommended for the upper and lower eyelid area to soften hollowness and the deep-set look at the temple area, corner of mouth, jaw line, cheek creases, and thin lips.
The Benefits of Fat Transfer
Traditional surgical rejuvenation procedures such as Facelifts and Blepharoplasty fail to add volume, often leaving patients with a tighter look but not a younger look. Facial Fat Transfer, or autologous fat transplantation, in conjunction with these procedures, can provide your face with a younger-looking, fresh contour. Fifteen to twenty years ago it was terrible. The fat would be suctioned out from the stomach or hips with a high powered Liposuction machine, washed in a strainer, and placed back into a large syringe for placement. The fat would generally be placed in a large blob under the skin. The doctor and patient then watched as the fat slowly disappeared. Most patients did not hold on to this fat. The body simply broke it down and took it away.
Over the years, research began to shed light on what fat requires in order to survive. As a result, new techniques were developed. Most patients do well with one Facial Fat Transfer. Some may choose to add more volume with in-office fillers if some settling occurs. At times, patients may benefit from more than one Facial Fat Transfer.
