Restore Youthful Volume & Rediscover Your Natural Contours

Experiencing hollowed cheeks, thin lips, or lost facial fullness that makes you appear more tired or older than you are? At Defyne, our surgeons use your own harvested fat (processed into microfat or nanofat) to naturally restore volume and smooth contours. When combined with our signature P.R.O. (Personalized Regenerative Outcomes) Facial Rejuvenation, this approach refreshes your appearance and brings back your youthful glow, all without a facelift, incisions, or visible scars.

What is Fat Grafting?

As we age, natural changes such as volume loss, downward migration of facial fat pads, and thinning skin can lead to an older-looking appearance. Aging can also make veins and tendons on the back of the hands more prominent due to volume loss. At Defyne, our plastic surgeons use a highly personalized approach to fat grafting to create results you can enjoy for years.

Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is a versatile aesthetic procedure where fat is removed from one area of the body and carefully injected into another to restore volume and enhance contours. At Defyne, our surgeons use cutting-edge technology to process harvested fat into microfat or nanofat, helping you achieve natural-looking results tailored to your features.

Facial fat grafting can address a variety of concerns, including dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and loss of facial volume. Hand fat grafting helps mask visible veins and tendons while restoring youthful fullness to the back of the hands.

What to Expect

Prepare icon
Prepare

Your fat grafting journey begins with a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. This appointment allows your surgeon to understand your personal aesthetic goals and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and confident before moving forward.

During Your Procedure

Fat grafting is performed on an outpatient basis, with a highly individualized approach tailored to each patient’s aesthetic goals. The procedure involves three key steps:

  • Fat Harvesting: Liposuction is used to collect fat cells from a donor area, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
  • Fat Processing: The harvested fat is purified to remove blood and damaged cells. At Defyne, we use advanced technology to process fat into growth factor-rich microfat or nanofat for optimal results.
  • Fat Transfer: The purified fat is carefully injected into the targeted area using a fine cannula to restore volume and smooth contours.
Downtime icon
Downtime & Recovery

Fat grafting requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return home to rest and recover. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected initially. Most patients can resume work within a day or so, depending on comfort level, and gradually return to physical activity as advised by their surgeon. Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is essential to ensure proper healing and natural-looking results.

The fat grafting procedure can take between 15 minutes and two hours, depending on the areas being treated and the desired results.

How Long Does It Take to See Fat Grafting Results?

While patients often notice immediate results, the final results are fully apparent after about a year. This is because the transferred fat cells need time to grow and become fully viable with a blood supply.
