As we age, volume loss in the face becomes more noticeable, leading to hollow under-eyes, sunken cheeks, and deep lines around the mouth. Additionally, some individuals naturally have a thinner face due to genetics, making them look older or more tired than they actually are.
For those looking for a natural and long-lasting solution, facial fat transfer in Turkey is one of the most effective treatments. This procedure restores lost volume, smooths out deep wrinkles, and rejuvenates the skin by transferring the patient’s own fat to specific facial areas.
Who Can Benefit from Facial Fat Transfer?
✔ People who want a fuller, more youthful face
✔ Those who experience facial hollowing due to weight loss
✔ Patients with under-eye hollows, sunken cheeks, or facial asymmetry
✔ Individuals with volume loss caused by aging
✔ Those looking for a natural alternative to dermal fillers
Fat transfer to the face is a popular option for patients seeking a long-term solution for facial volume loss without using synthetic fillers.
How Does Fat Transfer to the Face Work?
This procedure involves harvesting fat from another part of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs), purifying the fat cells, and injecting them into the targeted facial areas. The process is similar to a hair transplant, where the transferred follicles must integrate into their new location.
🔹 Not all transferred fat survives, but typically, 60-70% of the fat remains permanently after the initial healing period.
🔹 Fat cells contain stem cells, which improve skin texture and elasticity, offering a natural skin rejuvenation effect.
Where Can Fat Transfer Be Used?
✔ Facial contouring (cheeks, under-eyes, temples, jawline)
✔ Lip enhancement with fat transfer
✔ Fine line and wrinkle reduction (forehead, smile lines, under-eye hollows)
✔ Body contouring (breast, buttocks, hip augmentation)
✔ Correcting volume loss due to trauma or surgery
Facial fat grafting in Turkey is especially popular for restoring a youthful look and enhancing facial harmony naturally.
Fat Transfer Procedure in Turkey: Step by Step
📌 1. Pre-Procedure Consultation
✔ During the consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic goals with your surgeon.
✔ The areas to be treated will be carefully marked in front of a mirror, ensuring a personalized approach.
📌 2. Anesthesia
✔ General anesthesia is preferred for full-face fat transfer, ensuring patient comfort.
✔ Local anesthesia can be used for smaller areas, such as lip enhancement.
📌 3. Fat Harvesting
✔ Fat is extracted from areas with excess fat (abdomen, thighs, or under the chin).
✔ Liposuction and micro-cannulas are used for precise fat collection.
📌 4. Fat Purification
✔ Extracted fat is processed and purified to remove impurities and excess fluids.
✔ This ensures higher fat survival rates and a smoother final result.
📌 5. Fat Injection to the Face
✔ The purified fat is strategically injected in small amounts to ensure even distribution.
✔ Overfilling is done intentionally, as some fat loss naturally occurs during the healing phase.
✔ For under-eye fat transfer, only minimal fat is used to prevent puffiness.
Post-Procedure Recovery & Healing
🛑 No smoking for at least 3 weeks!
Smoking reduces fat survival rates and slows down the healing process.
📌 Swelling & Bruising
✔ Swelling peaks at day 3-4 and gradually subsides within 10 days.
✔ Patients can typically return to work within 10 days.
📌 Fat Transfer Longevity
✔ The most significant fat loss occurs within the first month, but final results take 6-12 months to settle.
✔ Repeat sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal volume retention.
📌 Daily Activities
✔ Showering is allowed on day 4.
✔ Gentle facial massages can help reduce swelling and improve fat integration.
✔ Sleeping on your back is recommended for the first 2 weeks to prevent asymmetry.
