Facial Fat Transfer
Allure Plastic Surgery
Facial fat transfer uses your own fat to restore volume to areas of the face that hollow or flatten with age. The result looks and feels natural.
What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
As the face ages, it loses volume in the cheeks, temples, and around the eyes. That can make it look tired or drawn. Facial fat transfer restores that volume with your own fat, taken from another area of your body, refined, and placed where the face needs it.
Because it uses your own tissue rather than a manufactured filler, the result looks and feels natural and can be long-lasting. Many patients ask for it alongside eyelid or jawline work.

Why Patients Choose It
Facial fat transfer can:
- Restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and around the eyes.
- Use your own fat, so the result looks and feels natural.
- Offer long-lasting improvement compared with some other options.
- Pair well with eyelid fillers or jawline contouring.
- Soften an aged or hollow appearance for a more youthful look.
Are You a Candidate?
Good candidates have lost facial volume and want a natural, lasting way to restore it. You need a small amount of fat to harvest from elsewhere on the body. Dr. Heller will assess your face and your goals at your consultation.
What to Expect
What to Expect
Dr. Heller harvests a small amount of your own fat, refines it, and places it where the face has lost volume, building a soft, natural-looking result.
Anesthesia and timeline are reviewed at your consultation, based on how much volume you want restored and where.
Recovery and Results
Recovery varies with how extensive the transfer is. There may be swelling or bruising at the harvest and treatment sites that settles over time.
Because the result uses your own tissue, it can be long-lasting. Dr. Heller will review what to expect for your case.
Why Allure Plastic Surgery
Fat transfer rewards experience, in harvesting and refining the fat and in placing it for a natural result. Dr. Heller performs facial procedures regularly and does the work himself.
He can also combine fat transfer with eyelid or jawline treatments in a plan built around your face.
