Restore youthful volume and soften contour depressions using your own fat, placed with precision for natural integration.
Facial fat grafting (structural fat transfer) involves gentle liposuction from a donor site, processing of fat, and reinjection in layered planes to improve volume, contour, and skin quality in selected patients.
Survival of grafted fat varies; Dr. Manandhar discusses expected retention, possible touch-ups, and how grafting complements or replaces fillers depending on goals.
Patients with hollow temples, flat cheeks, deep nasolabial shadowing from volume loss, or desire for modest lip volume may be candidates. You should be healthy enough for liposuction volumes involved and have realistic expectations about swelling and take rates.
Smoking impairs fat survival and healing — cessation is strongly advised.
Uses your own tissue — no synthetic filler in treated zones
Can improve global facial softness when volume loss is a key ageing feature
May be combined with facelift or skin procedures in staged or single settings
Layered placement philosophy aimed at smoothness
Donor site selection
Small-volume harvest planning with comfort and contour in mind.
Harvest & processing
Gentle aspiration and preparation to support viable fat parcels.
Micro-injection
Controlled placement in layers tailored to each facial zone.
Compression & recovery teaching
Donor-site garment advice and facial swelling expectations.
Facial swelling can look exaggerated initially before settling. Avoid pressure on grafted areas, follow massage restrictions if instructed, and maintain nutrition and hydration.
Donor sites may bruise; walk lightly at first and escalate activity per guidance.
