Transferencia de Grasa Facial
Facial Fat Transfer, also known as Fat Autograft Muscle Injection (FAMI), is a minimally invasive procedure that restores a youthful appearance by replenishing facial fat lost over the years. This technique involves transferring fat from areas where it is unwanted to areas of the face that need volume. FAMI provides a natural alternative to fillers or facelifts and is ideal for those seeking long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What is Facial Fat Transfer?
The Facial Fat Transfer procedure begins with Dr. Johnson harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then refined and carefully injected into specific facial areas. The procedure is planned using a photo of the patient from when they were 18-20 years old to accurately restore youthful contours. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure ensures minimal downtime, allowing patients to return home shortly after.
The Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer

- Long-lasting results – Provides long-lasting improvements in facial volume and contour.
- Minimal scarring and downtime – The procedure is minimally invasive with a short recovery period.
- Dual benefit – Combines liposuction and facial enhancement in one procedure.
- Improved skin texture and volume – Enhances overall skin quality and fullness.
The Facial Fat Transfer Procedure Process
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation and planning session. Dr. Johnson will assess your needs and compare your current facial structure to photos from your younger years to plan the procedure. On the day of the procedure, fat is harvested from selected areas of your body, refined, and then injected into your face. The entire process is performed while you are awake and under local anesthesia. After the procedure, you can expect some bruising and swelling for about 2-3 weeks. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up care instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery.
