Facial Fat Transfer in Bozeman, MT

Would I benefit more from a dermal filler or fat transfer?
Either a facial fat graft or an injectable wrinkle filler can correct the visibility of lines and wrinkles while restoring volume. Although dermal fillers may give you beautiful results, a fat transfer often looks more natural and lasts longer. If you need help deciding how much volume you want and where, Dr. Kelley may recommend using dermal fillers. Once you have decided what you like, Dr. Kelley can perform a fat transfer for results that last years instead of months.

Can facial fat grafting be combined with another procedure?
In many cases, a patient might choose to pair their facial fat transfer with a nonsurgical treatment or a facial procedure. A fat transfer has also become a popular choice to complement other cosmetic surgeries. A fat graft will add volume that helps to improve the balance and proportion of your face during a facelift, neck lift, or chin augmentation. Talk to Dr. Kelley during your consultation about all your needs and wants so she can develop a plan with nonsurgical and surgical treatments that reach all your cosmetic goals.

How long does facial fat grafting take?
The procedure time for a facial fat transfer will vary, depending on how much fat is being removed, as well as the volume required to attain the desired result. When your plan is developed in your consultation, Dr. Kelley can go over what you can expect, including how long it will take. Dr. Kelley takes her time carefully grafting thin layers of fat with advanced techniques so your results are natural.

Which areas of the face can be improved with fat grafting?
Facial fat grafting can be used in a number of areas to increase volume or reduce wrinkles. A fat transfer is ideally designed to augment or enhance the mid-face or cheeks so that the area appears fuller and lifted without surgery. Additionally, transferred fat can also be used as a natural lip filler. You may also consider a fat transfer to improve the sunken or hollow areas under your eyes. A fat transfer to your face can also treat the appearance of pitted scars and wrinkles (like marionette lines or brow furrows). Dr. Kelley will develop your unique treatment plan to address one or more areas of your face based on your needs and cosmetic goals.
