What is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a minimally invasive procedure that rejuvenates the face by restoring lost volume. By using your body’s own fat, this technique provides a natural-looking enhancement to areas such as the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds, while improving skin texture and elasticity.
