Facial Fat Transfer In Denver, CO

Restore supple volume and achieve a more youthful, fresh appearance.

Part of the natural aging process is the loss of volume in the face. As facial volume diminishes, hollows may appear around the eyes, temples, cheeks, and jawline. This results in a gaunt or older appearance. A facial fat transfer can be performed to restore this lost volume and return a youthful facial shape.

What is a Fat Transfer?

A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, involves removing fat from one area of the body where there is an excess of fat, then purifying that fat before injecting it into another area where volume has been lost. Facial fat transfer achieves natural-looking, long-lasting results. Fat may be removed from the abdomen, thighs, bra line, or other areas.

A gentle liposuction is performed. The fat cells are removed and purified carefully. These cells are then injected into the treatment areas on your face or neck with a syringe, causing no scarring or trauma on your face.

What Concerns can Facial Fat Transfer Address?

Areas of Volume Loss

Lost volume in the cheeks, under and around the eyes, and the jawline.

Acne Scars

Fat transfer can be used to help fill in acne scars and smooth sunken areas or depressions.

The Lips

Fat can be injected into the lips to achieve long-lasting, plump and youthful suppleness.

Wrinkles and Creases

Facial fat transfer can help smooth lines, heavy wrinkles and creases, such as nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the mouth, and marionette lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the sides of the chin.

What are the Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer?

This minimally-invasive procedure offers many benefits for patients, allowing them to turn back time on the aging process with completely natural-looking results. Benefits include the following:

Short recovery period. Unlike a facelift or other more invasive surgery, this procedure requires a short, minimal recovery.
Customized for you. Facial fat transfer can be performed almost anywhere on the face and neck, addressing a wide range of concerns.
Natural, effortless-looking results. Because your fat cells are used and the procedure is not invasive, the results are soft, natural-looking, and appear effortless.
No chance of allergic reactions. The procedure only uses your own tissues, meaning there is not chance of rejection or allergic reactions, which can happen with other methods.

Schedule A Consultation

Your Consultation with Dr. Thompson

Before your facial fat transfer, you will have a private consultation with Dr. Thompson. During this consultation at his Denver office, he will understand your concerns, and examine your face and skin, and determine with this procedure is the best choice to meet your needs.

This is the time to ask questions, discuss any concerns you may have, and review your medical history. Based on your aesthetic goals and desires, Dr. Thompson may also recommend complementary procedures to further elevate your results. He will also perform a physical exam along with your comprehensive facial analysis.

How Long will my Facial Fat Transfer Results Last?

Facial fat transfer results are long lasting, and will not require repeat treatments to maintain results. However, do keep in mind that during the first month or so, for a period lasting approximately six weeks, some of the transferred fat cells will be reabsorbed by your body. This is a natural part of the process, and is expected and planned for in the amount of fat injected during the initial transfer.

Another point to keep in mind is that significant weight loss or gain will affect the results, just as weight fluctuations generally affected the appearance of your face prior to your procedure.
