Recovery & Healing Timeline
How Fat grafting Is Performed
Autologous Volume Restoration
Fat grafting
- The patient’s own tissue, low allergy risk
- Longer-lasting volume than filler
- Jawline and midface restoration
- Incidental contouring of the donor site
Lipofilling harvests fat from a donor site such as the abdomen or flanks, processes it and places it where the face needs volume (midface, jawline, temple, perioral area). The aim is anatomical balance with 3D simulation, not puffiness. Grafted fat that takes provides long-term volume; some resorption in the early period is expected.

Procedure at a glance
Not adding bulk — three-dimensional balance
Fat is harvested with gentle liposuction, purified and placed in layers with micro/nanofat techniques. Pre-operative 3D planning agrees where volume will go. Fat that takes remains as living cells, so it does not vanish in a few months the way filler can.

Risks and Safety
- 01Partial fat resorption
- 02Swelling and bruising
- 03Asymmetry
- 04Rare oil cyst
Sound technique, individualised planning and careful follow-up reduce complication risk.
