At British Face Clinic, we offer a solution to restore lost volume and rejuvenate your facial features with Facial Fat Grafting in London, Milton Keynes & Northampton. Read on to learn all about this popular, minimally invasive procedure that uses your own fat cells for natural-looking results.
What is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial Fat Grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a procedure that involves harvesting excess fat from areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. This fat transfer procedure is ideal for those looking to restore a youthful appearance without the use of dermal fillers.

What Our Patients Have to Say
Understanding Facial Fat Grafting at British Face Clinic
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at the British Face Clinic. Our expert surgeon, Mr Supriya, will assess your facial structure and discuss your goals to determine if you are a suitable candidate for facial fat grafting.
Procedure
The facial fat transfer procedure involves extracting fat from a donor area using a gentle liposuction technique. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into targeted areas of the face. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the process.
Recovery
Recovery from facial fat grafting typically takes up to two weeks. You may experience mild swelling and bruising, but these effects subside as the transferred fat cells settle into their new location. Our team will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
Results
The results of a facial fat graft are natural and long-lasting. As the fat cells integrate with your facial tissue, you’ll notice a restored volume and rejuvenated appearance. Most patients see final results within a few months, with continued improvement as the fat graft fully settles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is facial fat grafting permanent?
Facial fat grafting results are long-lasting, as the transferred fat cells become part of your facial tissue. However, the longevity of the results can vary depending on individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle and some may choose to undergo fat transfer more than once to maintain their desired appearance.
How does a face fat transfer differ from dermal fillers?
Unlike synthetic dermal fillers, face fat transfer uses your own fat to restore volume. This natural approach involves a fat injection of your own cells, offering the added benefit of removing fat from areas where it’s not wanted.
How much fat is needed for a face fat transfer?
The amount of fat required varies depending on the areas being treated. Typically, a small amount is needed to restore volume effectively and this fat is usually harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs before it is purified and used to transfer fat to the face.
