Facial Fat Transfer | Fat Grafting

Information About Micro Fat Grafting to the Face with New York’s Best Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono.

Fat Grafting | Fat Transfer This female facelift patient of Dr. Andrew Jacono discusses her surgical procedure and her results that make her so very happy.

What is Facial Fat Grafting

Fat Transfer (Fat Injections or Fat Grafting) and Growth Factor Face Lifting is one of the most cutting-edge techniques in plastic surgery in the past 30 years.

Over this time multiple face-lifting procedures have been presented for the rejuvenation of the face, most of them stressing the need for extensive surgery. What we have come to realize over this time is that the face ages not just because of drooping (which would require a facelift) but also because of deflating and losing the natural volume in the cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes.

Plastic surgeons have been using temporary fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra to add volume back to the face giving it a more youthful, rested, and natural appearance.

Growth Factor Facelift

The “Growth Factor Facelift” is a procedure that utilizes fat suctioned from the abdomen and then the fat transferred back into de-volumized areas of the face. This facelift differs from fat grafting of the face procedures of years past because the fat is processed after it is removed to maximize the amount of “Adult Growth Factors” present in the fat that we transplant.

Adult Growth Factors are now known to be a source for producing other “hormone-like” substances to enhance both skin quality and the underlying subcutaneous- fatty tissues of the cheeks, the mid-face, and the skin in general. This procedure restores the youthful contour and shape of the face as well as skin tightness.

The “Growth Factor Face Lift” is a misnomer as it does not actually lift the face like a traditional facelift. It works by adding the fat back to the drooping cheeks, jawline, smile, and marionette lines.

The face refills and lifts (like a saggy deflated balloon lifts as it is re-inflated) creating the heart-shaped face of youth instead of the square-shaped face of middle age. Additionally, fat can be injected into the deep circles under the eyes, creating the appearance of a lower eyelid lift without surgery.

For those with more advanced facial drooping and aging, endoscopic midface lifts, mini facelifts, and eye lifts may be necessary. Although these lifting procedures reposition drooped fat into areas of volume loss, it is often necessary to combine a facelift with a fat transfer.

The Fat Transfer and Growth Factor Face Lift procedures are accomplished under local anesthesia in about an hour in the office setting. This is a procedure that avoids the need for a hospital trip and general anesthesia. Recovery time takes about a week. At the end of this time, light makeup is easily applied, and the results document an extremely natural, fully rested facial contour.

The Growth Factor Facelift may also eliminate the need for ongoing facial “filler” injections like Restylane, Juvederm, and other hyaluronic acid fillers. Sometimes the procedure needs to be repeated more than once because the fat and adult growth factors only partially take in the face where they are injected.

Before and After Facial Fat Transfer Patient Photos


Facial Fat Transfer Patient 1:

This 56-year-old patient is just 12 weeks following her facial plastic surgery procedures with Dr. Andrew Jacono. She was concerned about the aging of her face, forehead, eyelids, lips, and neck.

Dr. Jacono performed a deep plane facelift, platysmaplasty, lower blepharoplasty, temporal lift, and lip lift. He also used face fat transfer since she had a significant loss of volume of the cheeks, temples, and lower eyelid tear trough/hollows. The fat grafting procedure helps to replenish soft tissue atrophy that occurs with age. She looks so natural but years younger and aesthetically balanced!

Facial Fat Transfer Patient 3:

This 58-year-old patient is just 8 weeks after her plastic surgery with Dr. Andrew Jacono. She was concerned about aging of her face, forehead, eyelids, lips, and neck.

Dr. Jacono performed a deep plane facelift, platysmaplasty, lower blepharoplasty, temporal lift, a lip lift, and fat graft. She wanted to rejuvenate her drooping cheeks, jowls, and hanging neck.

While the facelift lifts the cheeks, she had a significant loss of volume of the cheeks and temples. He replenished the soft tissue atrophy that occurs with age with fat transfer. We love how natural and refreshed she looks.

Facial Fat Transfer Patient 4:

This beautiful 48-year-old woman photo’d just 3 months after her facial plastic surgery. She had a history of weight loss that resulted in extra sagging skin.

To reverse these signs of aging, Dr. Andrew Jacono performed a deep plane facelift, necklift with platysmaplasty, a lateral temporal lift, fat grafting, and a lip lift. She had significant loss of volume to her cheeks, temples, and lower eyelid tear trough/hollows, so the fat graft was used to replenish soft tissue atrophy that occurs with age.

This wonderful 65-year-old patient only 7 weeks post-operative following her facial rejuvenation surgery with Dr. Jacono. He performed a deep plane facelift procedure to lift her jowls and dropped cheeks while smoothing out her nasolabial folds.

He also performed a fat transfer to add volume back to the sunken areas in her cheeks, temples, and eyelids. To complete the overall rejuvenation process by smoothing her fine lines and wrinkles, laser skin resurfacing using the fractional CO2 laser was done. She looks amazing and so refreshed.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
