Facial fat injection is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. The fat is typically harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs and injected into regions such as the cheeks, under-eye area, or temples to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

The primary benefits of facial fat injection include restoring volume to areas of the face that have become hollow or sunken, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhancing overall facial contours. Since the fat used comes from your own body, it is a natural and safe option, providing long-lasting and more subtle results compared to synthetic fillers.

Facial fat injection is generally well-tolerated, as it is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation. The liposuction process to harvest the fat may cause some discomfort, but it is usually minimal. The facial injections themselves are typically well-tolerated, with most patients reporting only slight discomfort. Swelling or bruising in the treated areas is common but temporary.

Recovery from facial fat injection is relatively quick. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, although some swelling or bruising may last up to two weeks. It is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Gambhir to ensure optimal healing and results. The full effects of the procedure may take a few months to become fully visible as the fat settles and integrates into the treated areas.

The results of facial fat injection are long-lasting, as the transplanted fat becomes a permanent part of the face once it is successfully integrated. However, the body may naturally absorb some of the fat over time, which can affect the results. Many patients enjoy long-term benefits, but additional touch-up procedures may be required for maintaining volume and fullness.
