Who doesn’t want a younger looking face? While there are many options for tightening the skin and minimizing wrinkles, not many procedures can add volume back to the face. Many people still turn to dermal fillers to plump and rehydrate the skin, but a growing number of patients have discovered the benefits of fat grafting to achieve fuller facial features that can last indefinitely.

Fat transfer borrows fat from an area of the body where fat is in excess and then implants those fat cells into another area that can benefit from a boost in volume. This is particularly useful for rejuvenating areas of the face. Here, Dr. Ashkan Ghavami discusses some of the positive changes possible with fat transfer.
