Facial Fat Grafting
Your own fat—redefined as your most natural filler.
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a powerful anti-aging treatment that restores volume and smoothness using your body’s own fat. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we use refined fat transfer techniques to enhance cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and jawline for youthful, natural-looking results that last.
Fat grafting is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of your body, purifying it, and then injecting it into the face to restore volume, soften deep wrinkles, and rejuvenate contours.
Because it uses your own tissue, fat transfer offers long-lasting and biocompatible enhancement. The result is subtle, natural, and enduring facial rejuvenation.
