A Natural Solution for Volume Loss

Fat loss in the face can lead to hollow cheeks, deep folds, and a tired or gaunt appearance as we age. Facial fat grafting, known as fat transfer, restores youthful volume using your fat, offering subtle and lasting enhancement that blends seamlessly with your features. Dr. Kevin Sadati uses advanced fat grafting techniques enhanced with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to increase graft survival and promote healing in his Newport Beach surgical suite. The result is smoother contours, softer features, and a naturally refreshed look.

What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

  • Facial fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that transfers fat from one part of your body, typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, into targeted areas of the face. Once harvested and purified, the fat is carefully injected to smooth hollowness, plump deflated areas, and soften fine lines.
  • Unlike synthetic fillers, facial fat transfer uses your living tissue, making it ideal for patients seeking a more natural solution with longer-lasting results. Dr. Sadati’s technique includes using PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which is rich in growth factors that improve fat survival and accelerate tissue regeneration.

What to Expect The Facial Fat Grafting Process

Consultation and Planning

 Dr. Sadati will design a tailored fat transfer plan based on your facial structure and volume loss.

Anesthesia

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with twilight sedation—no general anesthesia required.

Fat Harvesting

Liposuction gently removes a small amount of fat from a donor site.

Purification and PRP Integration

The fat is processed using advanced centrifuge technology and then enriched with PRP to improve cell survival.

Precise Injection

 The fat is injected in micro-droplets across multiple layers of the facial tissue using blunt-tip cannulas for smooth, natural results.

Recovery Begins

 Patients return home on the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-up appointments.

Facial Fat Grafting Recovery & Results

You can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for the first few days following surgery, especially at the donor and injection sites. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 5–7 days, though final results continue to refine over several weeks as swelling subsides.

Fat survival rates vary, but with Dr. Sadati’s advanced PRP-enhanced technique, patients typically retain 70–90% of the transferred volume. The outcome is a fuller, softer, and more youthful face that doesn’t rely on synthetic materials or frequent maintenance.

Facial Fat Grafting Frequently Asked Questions

Is facial fat grafting permanent?

Results are long-lasting, and with proper technique and PRP enhancement, a significant portion of the transferred fat becomes permanent tissue.

What is PRP, and why is it used?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is rich in natural growth factors that help support healing and improve fat cell survival. It’s drawn from your blood and mixed with the purified fat before injection.

Can I combine this with other procedures?

Yes. Facial fat grafting is often combined with facelifts, eyelid surgery, or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation in one procedure.

How long is the downtime?

Most patients resume light activity within a week. Swelling may take 2–3 weeks to fully resolve, with final results visible around one to two months post-op.

Will I have scars?

No visible facial scars. The injection sites are tiny and heal quickly. Liposuction incisions are also small and well-hidden.
