Rating: 5 (185 reviews)

Restore facial volume and soften contours using your own natural tissue for balanced, long-lasting rejuvenation.

Restoring Volume Where It Matters Most

As the face ages, volume loss can occur in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye region, leading to a hollow or tired appearance. While skin tightening procedures address laxity, restoring lost volume is often essential for achieving a natural, youthful look.

Facial fat transfer at Coastal Cosmetic Center is designed to replenish volume while preserving facial expression and balance. Led by plastic surgeons Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach focuses on subtle enhancement using your own tissue for results that look and feel natural.

What Is Fat Grafting to the Face?

Fat grafting to the face, or facial fat transfer, is a procedure that removes fat from another area of the body using liposuction, purifies it, and then carefully injects it into targeted facial areas to restore volume and contour.

Because the procedure uses your own fat, results tend to integrate naturally with existing tissue. At Coastal Cosmetic Center, facial fat grafting is performed in our fully accredited, on-site surgical center in Jacksonville.

The Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

Natural Volume Restoration: Facial fat grafting restores volume using your own tissue, creating soft, natural-looking results.
Improved Facial Contours: The procedure enhances balance and smooths transitions between facial features.
Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells that successfully integrate become a permanent part of the treated area.
No Synthetic Fillers: Fat grafting avoids the use of artificial fillers or implants.
Versatile Enhancement: The procedure can be performed alone or combined with other facial surgeries for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Is Facial Fat Grafting Right for Me?

Facial fat transfer may be appropriate if you are experiencing volume loss, hollowing, or facial contour changes related to aging or weight loss. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have sufficient donor fat available.

During consultation, we evaluate facial anatomy, skin quality, and donor sites to determine whether fat grafting or another facial rejuvenation option best aligns with your goals.

What to Expect: The Facial Fat Transfer Process

Personalized Consultation

We begin with a detailed discussion of your goals and an evaluation of facial anatomy and donor areas.

Pre-Operative Preparation

You’ll receive clear instructions to help prepare for surgery and recovery.

Your Procedure

Fat is gently removed from a donor area, purified through a sterile process, and carefully injected into targeted facial regions to restore volume.

Immediate Recovery

After the procedure, you’ll recover comfortably before returning home the same day.

Post-Operative Care & Follow-Up

Follow-up visits allow us to monitor healing and fat retention.

Your Facial Fat Transfer Recovery & Results

Swelling and bruising are common during early recovery and gradually improve over several weeks. Most patients return to light activities within a short period, with continued refinement as healing progresses.

As swelling subsides, transferred fat settles into place. While some fat is naturally reabsorbed, surviving fat cells provide long-lasting facial volume and improved contour.
