Natural looking results
One of the most significant advantages of facial fat transfer is natural-looking results. All the fat injected comes from other body parts, and no artificial products are added. There are minimal risks of infection or your face rejecting the fat as a foreign substance. If you are unpleased with the results, you can have an additional treatment session.
No downtime
Facial fat transfer does not need a recovery period. You can resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the injection sites, but the effects fade within a few days. Your doctor will recommend you avoid strenuous activities for a few days after your treatment to allow fat to set in place appropriately. Your doctor will also recommend sleeping on your back to ensure the fat remains in the injection site for effective settling.
It has long-lasting results

But once these effects occur, the result will be relatively permanent. Consuming enough calories for weight maintenance will help you avoid follow-up treatment and maintain your results longer. Since some fat cells can die after the transfer, your doctor injects extra fat than required to replace the ones that might be lost and enhance desired results.
