Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, uses fat taken from another area of your body to restore volume in selected areas of the face. The procedure is performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic, with fat carefully harvested, processed and transferred during the same appointment.

Because your own tissue is used, fat grafting may be suitable for patients looking for a longer-lasting alternative to dermal fillers. As with any procedure, not all transferred fat survives, and further treatment may sometimes be recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions below. Everything you need to know is right here, designed to help you make an informed and confident decision.

How long do results last?

Some of the transferred fat establishes a permanent blood supply and can provide long-lasting results, although a proportion is naturally reabsorbed during healing.

Is fat grafting better than filler?

Neither treatment is better for everyone. The most suitable option depends on your anatomy, goals and preferences.

Where is the fat taken from?

Common donor areas include the abdomen or thighs, depending on the individual.

Is there downtime?

Recovery varies, but bruising and swelling are common in both the donor and treatment areas.
