Facial Fat Grafting
Restore Volume Naturally with Facial Fat Grafting in Oklahoma City
As we age, the natural loss of facial fat can lead to hollow areas, fine lines, and a tired appearance. Facial fat grafting is a cutting-edge procedure that restores youthful volume using your body’s own fat. At Refined Aesthetics, Dr. Robert Rhodes uses advanced techniques to achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results. With this minimally invasive approach, you can rejuvenate your appearance and enhance your contours without synthetic fillers.
What is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a procedure that harvests fat from one area of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and transfers it to targeted areas of your face to restore volume and improve contours. This procedure is ideal for addressing:
Hollow cheeks or temples.
Fine lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds.
Sunken areas under the eyes.
Thinning lips or loss of definition.
By using your body’s own fat, this procedure provides a natural solution for rejuvenation. Dr. Rhodes meticulously sculpts the transferred fat to create balanced, harmonious results.
What to Expect: Your Facial Fat Grafting Journey
Personalized Consultation
Dr. Rhodes begins with a thorough consultation to evaluate your goals, discuss areas for fat removal and transfer, and create a tailored treatment plan. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you may have regarding the procedure, recovery, or if this is the right option for you.
The Procedure
Fat grafting is a two-step process performed under local or general anesthesia. First, Dr. Rhodes uses gentle liposuction techniques to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is purified and carefully injected into the targeted facial areas to enhance volume and contours.
Recovery and Results
Recovery typically takes about 1–2 weeks, with mild swelling and bruising that subsides over time. Because the transferred fat integrates naturally with your facial tissues, results are long-lasting and appear soft and natural. Dr. Rhodes provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
