The natural aging process causes us to lose about 10% of the fat in our face at around the age of 35 and an additional 5 to 10% every 5 to 10 years thereafter. By the time you reach the age of 55, you may have lost up to 40% of the fat in your face. This loss of volume leads to a loss of structural support in the face which causes sagging. We can transfer fat to most areas of the face to create extra volume, including the lips, cheeks, forehead, nasolabial folds and around the eyes.
Facial Fat Transfer
Facial rejuvenation using a facial fat transfer in Dallas, sometimes referred to as fat grafting, can correct sagging of the tissues or the jowls along the jawline and around the eyes. It can also reverse loss of volume, which naturally occurs with aging. Transfer of fatty tissue to the face to improve volume has become common over the last 25 years.
Facial fat transfer is one of the many ways we can add volume and a youthful luster to the cheeks and face.
