Top Areas of the Face Treated with Fat Grafting

A woman smiling after facial fat grafting in Chicago Most people think of fat loss as a positive thing. When it comes to fat loss in the face, though, it can cause hollowness and a haggard appearance. Facial fat grafting uses your own fat to restore that lost volume and create a smoother, more refreshed look.

At Old Town Med Spa, Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi – cosmetic surgeons who specialize in facial rejuvenation – take a thoughtful, results-driven approach to all cosmetic procedures, including facial fat grafting. This blog explores the most common areas they treat and how this technique subtly enhances your features.

1. Under the Eyes

Hollow under-eyes can make you seem perpetually tired, even when you’re well-rested. Fat grafting will:

  • Fill in deep tear troughs.
  • Create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
  • Reduce the appearance of dark shadows.

2. Cheeks

Volume loss in the mid-face is one of the most noticeable signs of aging. Adding fat to the cheeks helps to:

  • Lift and contour the cheekbones.
  • Restore youthful fullness.
  • Improve overall facial symmetry.

3. Temples

Sunken temples are often overlooked but can make the face seem gaunt. Fat transfer to this area:

  • Softens hollowing.
  • Balances facial proportions.
  • Produces a more youthful facial shape.

4. Nasolabial Folds

These deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth can be softened by fat grafting. This treatment will:

  • Fill in deep creases.
  • Reduce harsh shadows.
  • Give you a more relaxed appearance.

5. Jawline and Chin

Fat transfer subtly sculpts and defines these areas to:

  • Enhance facial harmony.
  • Correct mild asymmetries.
  • Improve contours without implants.

6. Lips

When carefully injected into the lips, fat can:

  • Add natural-looking volume.
  • Improve lip shape.
  • Minimize fine lines around the mouth.
