Mansher Singh Reviews Facial Fat Grafting

About Facial Fat Grafting

Fat is collected from another part of the body and transferred to selected facial areas to address volume loss.

Volume transfer using your own fat

The official page describes taking fat from another part of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, processing it and transferring it to selected facial areas. Areas discussed include cheeks, temples and under-eye hollows. The procedure involves a donor area as well as the face, unlike an appointment using a prepared injectable filler.

Planning both treatment areas

Ask which facial areas are proposed and how much change is realistic for each. The consultation should also identify the donor area and explain its treatment and recovery. Discuss how the surgeon assesses retained volume and when a result can be meaningfully reviewed. If fat transfer is part of a facelift plan, confirm whether it is included in the quote and how the two procedures relate.

Questions for your consultation

• Which facial areas would receive transferred fat, and why?
• Where would the fat be collected?
• What uncertainty is there about retained volume or the need for another session?
• How will symmetry and both facial and donor-area healing be reviewed?
