Facial fat transfer in Westlake, TX

What if you could fill in creases, acne scars, or depressions that affect the appearance of your facial skin or the contours of your face without the use of synthetic fillers? Facial Fat Transfer makes it possible to smooth and raise depressed areas–including creasing around the mouth, nose, and eyes; scarring on the cheeks; and hollows contributing to the appearance of jowls–by filling them in with fatty tissue taken from another part of the body.

This revolutionary treatment is offered as an outpatient procedure at Stone Surgical Arts, conveniently located to serve Westlake, Texas. Facial fat transfer procedure provides natural-looking, long-lasting plumping, smoothing, and rejuvenation for facial skin that is showing signs of aging or scarring.

Facial Fat Transfer is a type of surgical procedure that involves harvesting small amounts of extra fat from one part of the body and injecting it into a different area in order to augment, plump, or reshape the target area. Acclaimed oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Mona Stone specializes in using Facial Fat Transfer to smooth, shape, and rejuvenate facial skin, minimizing signs of aging or scarring.

The facial fat transfer procedure itself is meticulously performed, with fat being carefully harvested and then injected into the facial areas requiring enhancement.

Facial fat transfer makes it possible to enjoy the benefits of dermal fillers using your own tissues to provide long-lasting smoothing and toning.

Furthermore, understanding the facial fat transfer recovery time is crucial for patients considering this procedure. Typically, the recovery time after facial fat transfer varies among individuals, but most patients observe significant improvement in swelling and bruising within the first few weeks. A detailed facial fat transfer recovery day by day guide provided by the surgeon can help patients navigate the healing process smoothly, ensuring they are well-informed about what to expect at each stage. This guidance is vital for achieving the best possible results and comfort during the recovery phase.

The duration of your procedure will depend on the areas to be addressed. During your consultation for Facial Fat Transfer, Dr. Stone will determine the best site for fat extraction and create a plan for transferring the tissue to key areas of the face to create a smooth, lifted appearance.

The facial fat transfer procedure itself consists of three steps, all of which can be performed at our modern Westlake, Texas, office, Stone Surgical Arts. First, fat will be taken from the collection site identified for the procedure using a needle. The fat will then be processed and purified in preparation for the transfer. Finally, a small needle will be used to inject fat into creases or depressed areas in the face in the same manner as dermal fillers. A numbing cream may be applied for your comfort during the procedure.

After the procedure, it is normal to see some swelling and bruising around the injection areas. Westlake Facial Fat Transfer patients may experience swelling which typically resolves within a few days to a week, but it is possible for mild residual swelling to last longer. Pain medication is generally not required but may be prescribed if needed. During your procedure, extra fat may be injected to compensate for the natural reabsorption of some of the transferred tissue into the body. Depending on the level of reabsorption, it is occasionally necessary to perform a second procedure to achieve optimal results.
