A youthful face is defined by soft, full contours. Over time, aging, weight fluctuations, and environmental factors can lead to volume loss, resulting in hollow cheeks, sunken temples, and a less vibrant appearance. Facial fat grafting at Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery in McLean, VA, restores natural fullness using your body’s own fat—offering a refined, long-lasting solution to facial aging.
Unlike temporary fillers, fat grafting provides enduring results with the added benefit of improving skin texture and quality. Our expert surgeons use meticulous techniques to ensure smooth, harmonious outcomes that enhance your natural beauty without looking artificial.
Facial fat grafting, or fat transfer, restores lost volume by using your own purified fat taken from another area of the body. This technique enhances facial contours, smooths wrinkles, and creates a soft, youthful look without synthetic fillers.
Your facial fat grafting journey begins at our state-of-the-art facility, where our expert team will ensure your comfort from start to finish. Depending on your treatment plan, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Because the procedure uses your body’s own fat, the results are smooth, biocompatible, and long-lasting. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and there is no risk of allergic reaction. The procedure involves three steps:
Small amounts of fat are carefully extracted from donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction.
The harvested fat is refined to ensure only the healthiest, most viable fat cells are used for transfer.
