Facial Grafting for Lasting Volume Restoration

As we age, the volume of our face descreases with loss of bone and muscle and thinning of the skin. Contrary to popular belief, we tend not to lose facial fat, but the fat pockets separate and descend to create jowls and deep nasolabial folds. The fat descent can also create contour irregularities under the eyes and the cheeks. By performing liposuction, fat can be harvested from the tummy and then with specialised equipment (ie Lipocube) it can be broken down into different size particles to fill contour defects in the face from lost facial volume and fat descent. Unlike filler, fat is a permanent solution and is much safer as it is your own tissue so no risk of allergic reactions or migration of fat particularly under the eye. No need for annual top-ups either. It works out far cheaper in the long run than fillers and is a far more beneficial technique to replenish volume as the fat grafting improves the quality of the facial skin from the stem cells derived from the fat.

The procedure takes about an hour and is performed under local anaesthetic and is pretty painless. A small amount of liposuction is carried out (thighs/tummy) and the fat is left to settle for 10 minutes. Using a specialised device – the Lipocube™ and Lipocube SVF™ – The nanofat is useful for filling up any tiny lines or wrinkles on the face whereas the micro and millifat is more useful for larger contour irregularities. More than one procedure is typically required (average 2-3, with a 3-month gap between sessions) but patients only have to pay for one session but all further lipofilling sessions have no charge.

Facial fat grafting has very little downtime – typically 3-5 days. There may be some swelling and bruising on the face for a few days but this can be easily concealed.
