Facial fullness often shifts gradually. Facial fat injections can help bring back softness in those areas that sometimes look thinner than you’d like after weight loss or natural aging.
In Bayonne, NJ, Pelosi Medical Center performs fat injections for people who want natural volume using their own tissue. Dr. Marco Pelosi III is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, post-graduate trained in cosmetic surgery, and brings more than 25 years of experience in facial and body contouring procedures.
Why Facial Volume Changes Over Time
Aging can reduce the soft support that helps the cheeks, temples, jawline, and lower face look smooth. Weight loss can also make your face appear slimmer, sometimes in a way that creates hollows or sharper folds.
These changes might show up as:
- Thinner or flatter cheeks
- Deeper lines around the mouth
- Hollow areas under the eyes or near the temples
- Less definition along the jawline
- A face that looks tired despite feeling rested
How Facial Fat Injections Work
Fat injections, also called fat grafting or fat transfer, use fat from another area of your body. The fat is removed with liposuction, processed, and carefully placed into areas that need more fullness.
Because the transferred fat comes from your own body, it can feel natural once healed. It can also be used to refine several areas of the face rather than filling one line at a time.
For some people, this makes facial fat injections a good match for broader volume loss after weight changes or aging.
What to Expect From the Results
Facial fat transfer is not about making your face look overfilled. The goal is usually to restore volume in a way that still looks like you. Some swelling is expected at first, and final results will become clearer as healing progresses.
Your results may depend on how your body accepts the transferred fat. Some fat will be naturally reabsorbed by your body, while the remaining fat can pbecome part of the treated area.
