Fat Grafting to the Face 

Facial fat transfer is a less invasive way to restore the volume and fullness the face naturally loses with age, using your own fat instead of synthetic filler.

Benefits of facial fat transfer include:

  • Uses your own fat as a natural filler, greatly reducing the risk of an allergic reaction
  • Restores lost facial volume
  • Softens wrinkles, creases, and folds
  • Results that can last for years
  • A more natural look and feel than traditional dermal fillers

What Does the Procedure Involve?

Facial fat grafting is a meticulous, three-step process: gentle liposuction to harvest fat from a donor area, purification of the fat, and precise reinjection into the areas of the face that need volume.

Dr. Chang performs facial fat grafting under IV twilight sedation, without general anesthesia. She begins with a tiny incision of about 5 millimeters at the donor site and uses a thin, hollow cannula with a tumescent saline solution to gently loosen and collect the fat. The fat is then purified and carefully reinjected to restore volume for a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Facial Fat Grafting?

Good candidates are in good physical and mental health and want to restore lost volume in the face. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not candidates. Dr. Chang recommends that candidates:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Are non-smokers
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Feel mentally prepared for surgery
  • Understand the risks of a surgical procedure

Facial Fat Transfer Recovery

After treatment, you may notice mild redness, discomfort, swelling, and possible bruising at the injection sites. These effects usually fade quickly, and an extended recovery is not necessary.

Recovery varies from patient to patient, but most patients plan for 5 to 10 days away from work and social activities. Initial healing takes 1 to 2 weeks, after which swelling gradually subsides to reveal your final results.
Reviews

What Our Clients Say

After many hours spent looking at pictures, studying surgeons' credentials, reading reviews and staring at my aging face, I chose Catherine Chang, MD for my facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty and CO2 laser procedure. It was a leap of faith that came with great anxiety in the midst of a pandemic year. My first visit with Dr. Chang was unhurried and she took the time to explain the procedures she was recommending as well as the results that could be expected. Her confidence and understanding were reassuring. Dr. Chang is a skilled surgeon, talented and perceptive. She understood what I was looking for. State of the art results: Dr. Chang is an amazing young woman, a perfectionist.
Muriel G.Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Chang is AMAZING. I’d had incredibly severe breathing issues my whole life—I’m talking sinus headaches, blurry vision, absolutely *no* airflow through one side of my nose—all from an extremely deviated septum. On top of everything else, the septum issue created a huge bump in my nose that proved to be very problematic for my career as a performer. As a woman of color, finding a doctor who could improve my quality of life, adjust my profile, but simultaneously honor my heritage and my ethnicity was a terrifying thought. I wanted to solve my problem, but I wanted to come out looking like me. I was overwhelmed by the fear of not being heard—as I’d had many other experiences where my dignity as a patient was clearly not the priority.
Sydney H.Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Catherine Chang changed my life. At 43, I unfortunately had aged prematurely in my lower face and neck and was so unhappy with my changing appearance. I had met with a couple of other surgeons but was too scared to trust them with such a big surgery. Not only is Dr. Chang professionally incredible but she is also cool and sweet as can be and every office visit is a joy. I am so grateful I found Dr. Catherine Chang!
Shana H.Los Angeles, CA
"Dr. Chang is absolutely amazing. I am beyond happy and thankful that I chose to have my procedure with her! Words can't describe how happy I am! My recovering was less than 3 days! Same day I was already on my feet! I only took pain medication for about a day. I recovered so fast, not a single issue. Now the best part is the results, the result is INCREDIBLE. Exactly what I wanted! Thank you Dr. Chang!!!"

"Dr. Catherine Chang is a masterful plastic surgeon! I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the results of my recent surgery! I have "cred" as they say because I'm in the business of medical aesthetics--a Registered Nurse in this field since the early 2000's. I have been extremely fortunate to work with legendary plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. Thank you Dr. Chang for restoring this face and neck!"
Joy E.Los Angeles, CA
"Dr. Cat Chang is amazing! I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give her. After years of contemplation, I went ahead and had the rhinoplasty (nose job) I have always wanted with Dr. Chang. I could not be more pleased with the results! I love my new profile, it is exactly what I hoped for!"
Kat K.Santa Monica, CA
"Simply put, Dr. Chang is phenomenal on so many levels! It was such an easy decision to choose her to perform my breast implant replace and lift surgery. Apart from having a "rock star" academic resume, upon meeting her I was immediately impressed as she has a very caring demeanor, is personable, professional, compassionate, but most importantly, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable."
