At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we proudly offer facial fat grafting—also known as facial fat transfer or autologous fat injection—as an advanced cosmetic solution to rejuvenate and enhance your natural beauty. This innovative procedure involves carefully harvesting fat cells from areas such as your abdomen, thighs, or hips, then purifying and strategically injecting them into targeted facial regions.
Facial fat grafting is ideal for addressing common aesthetic concerns such as volume loss due to aging, hollowed temples or under-eye areas, flattened cheeks, deep facial lines, or facial asymmetry. Because the fat used in this procedure comes from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is substantially minimized, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience.
At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, our experienced surgeons prioritize achieving natural-looking results. Facial fat grafting offers superior outcomes compared to synthetic fillers, as it utilizes your body’s own tissue, creating a softer and more natural feel. While some of the transferred fat may naturally be reabsorbed during the initial weeks post-procedure, the remaining fat cells typically deliver long-lasting facial enhancement.
Every patient at Shine Cosmetic Surgery receives personalized care designed to match their unique anatomy and cosmetic goals. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled cosmetic surgeons to explore whether facial fat grafting is suitable for you and to discuss the potential benefits this procedure can provide for your appearance and confidence.
Our specialized facial fat grafting procedure, also known as fat transfer or facial fat injection, is tailored to each patient’s unique aesthetic goals. This advanced cosmetic procedure involves gently harvesting your body’s own fat from areas where it’s plentiful and carefully injecting it into targeted facial regions. The result is restored facial volume, enhanced contours, and a naturally youthful appearance.
The longevity of facial fat grafting results can vary from patient to patient and depends significantly on factors such as your age, lifestyle, overall health, the precision of the surgical technique, and how successfully the transferred fat cells integrate into the facial tissues. At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, our experienced surgeons utilize advanced methods designed to maximize fat cell survival, helping ensure optimal, long-lasting outcomes.
Typically, facial fat grafting is considered a long-term, potentially permanent cosmetic enhancement. The fat cells that successfully integrate into the treated facial areas develop their own blood supply, becoming a permanent part of your facial structure. However, it’s important to keep in mind that a portion of the transferred fat cells will naturally be reabsorbed by the body during the first few months after your procedure, a factor our skilled surgeons account for when planning your personalized treatment.
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a highly popular cosmetic enhancement procedure offered at Shine Cosmetic Surgery that uses your body’s own natural resources to rejuvenate your facial appearance. This advanced treatment involves gently harvesting fat from areas such as your thighs, abdomen, or hips, and carefully transferring it to facial regions that have lost volume or require subtle enhancement.
At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, our facial fat grafting procedure provides several distinct advantages compared to traditional dermal fillers. Because the fat transferred is taken directly from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is significantly minimized, making facial fat grafting a safe and biocompatible choice for patients with sensitivities or concerns about synthetic fillers.
Our skilled surgeons at Shine Cosmetic Surgery utilize precise techniques to ensure natural-looking and long-lasting results. Unlike temporary injectable fillers, transferred fat cells that successfully integrate into their new location can remain indefinitely, providing patients with subtle yet enduring rejuvenation. As a result, patients typically require fewer follow-up treatments, making fat grafting a cost-effective, long-term investment in their appearance.
At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty through personalized cosmetic procedures, including facial rejuvenation techniques like facial fat grafting and dermal fillers. Both options effectively restore facial volume and create youthful contours, yet they differ significantly in their approach, materials, longevity, and recovery.
Facial Fat Grafting at Shine Cosmetic Surgery
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a procedure offered by our board-certified cosmetic surgeons to naturally restore facial volume using your body’s own fat cells. During the treatment, fat is gently harvested from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips, purified, and strategically placed into targeted facial regions. Because the filler material comes from your own tissues, fat grafting greatly reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection, providing a safe, natural-looking result.
At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, our patients appreciate facial fat grafting for its long-term effectiveness. Once the transferred fat cells establish themselves, results can be long-lasting or even permanent. This procedure typically requires minor surgical intervention performed under local anesthesia or sedation, and patients often experience mild swelling or bruising during the initial recovery period. Our experienced medical team provides comprehensive aftercare to ensure optimal healing, comfort, and beautiful results.
Dermal Fillers at Shine Cosmetic Surgery
Dermal fillers, another popular service at Shine Cosmetic Surgery, offer a quick, minimally invasive solution for facial rejuvenation. Dermal fillers are injectable substances, usually composed of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, that add immediate volume to targeted facial areas without the need for harvesting tissue from elsewhere in the body.
Patients appreciate dermal fillers for their convenience, short procedure duration, and minimal downtime. Treatments typically take place in our comfortable, state-of-the-art facility and can often be completed within a brief office visit. Results from dermal fillers are immediately apparent and can last anywhere from several months up to two years, depending on the filler type and treatment area. To maintain the desired look, periodic follow-up sessions are recommended. For more information, contact us or request an appointment online. We are conveniently located at 2707 E Valley Blvd Suite 115, West Covina, CA 91792. We serve clients from West Covina CA, San Gabriel Valley CA, Rowland Heights CA, Walnut CA, Rosemead CA, and surrounding areas.
