As we age, we naturally lose some of the fullness in our face, especially around the mid-face and chin. This can make the skin appear looser, causing cheeks to look sunken and the chin area to develop “jowls.” A similar change happens when someone loses weight, making the face look older and more tired. To restore a youthful look, we can transfer fat from other areas of your body, like the abdomen or thighs, into these spots, bringing back volume and improving skin texture to rejuvenate your face and neck.
I use a cutting-edge fat grafting technique that involves gently harvesting your own fat, purifying it, and then reinjecting it into the areas that need a little extra volume. Common areas we focus on are under the eyes, the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, and the pre-jowl hollows.
The procedure is minimally invasive, usually done under local anaesthetic with IV sedation unless paired with a longer surgery like a facelift. Many people are drawn to fat grafting because it doesn’t require traditional facial incisions, and since it’s your own fat, there’s no risk of rejection by your body.
