Fat Transfer to The Face
in Winnipeg, Manitoba at The First Glance
A beautiful, youthful face is characterized by defined facial contours, symmetry, and healthy glowing skin. Unfortunately, as we age, we lose fat, muscle, and bone density beneath the skin. These changes result in less symmetry, weaker bone structure, and creates deep hollows that cast dark shadows on the face.
With a Natural Fat Transfer, your facial contour can be dramatically improved by adding volume to your cheeks, eyes, lips, temples, chin, and jawline. Compared to temporary facial fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, Natural Fat Transfer allows for larger volumes of augmentation and creates longer-lasting and, in some cases, permanent results.
Fat Transfer is a natural technique that uses unwanted fat from other areas of your body to contour, volumize, and add more definition to the shape of your face. If you prefer natural enhancement rather than implants or facial fillers, why not use your unwanted fat from your waist, hips, and thighs to give you a revitalized appearance? With Natural Fat Transfer to The Face, you will get a beautiful shape that looks and feels natural.

Your Custom Fat Transfer Treatment Plan
When it comes to aesthetic surgery of any kind, there’s no such thing as one size fits all. Every patient has their own unique surgical needs.

Natural Fat Transfer Treatment Areas
- Hollows near the temples
- Hollows in the upper eyelid region
- Hollows under the eyes
- Cheekbones
- Hollows around the cheek area
- Deep folds around the mouth, including smile lines, and marionette lines

Natural Fat Transfer can be performed under local anesthesia, with intravenous sedation, or under a general anesthetic depending on your preference.
Liposuction and Fat Transfer
With Natural Fat Transfer, you get the additional benefits of Body Contouring.
Liposuction is performed to remove and collect fat from other areas of your body, such as your hips, thighs, and tummy. The fat is purified, then your surgeon will perform microinjections into precise areas of your face.
Proper Candidates For Natural Fat Transfer to The Face
Ideal weight for Natural Fat Transfer surgery means that you have enough fat, preferably in your lower abdomen or inner thighs, to allow a decent amount of fat to be harvested. Excellent results can be achieved on slender women. However, if you have extra fat around your tummy or inner thighs, this is preferred.
Advanced Specialized Training
Natural Fat Transfer to The Face is a complex surgery, and very few surgeons have proper training (if any at all). It’s essential to see a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with advanced specialized training and experience in Fat Transfer to The Face. Otherwise, you may experience complications and undesirable results. Our Board Certified Craniofacial & Aesthetic Facial Surgeons have expert training and years of experience with this procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Recovery Like After Natural Fat Transfer Surgery?
As with most aesthetic surgeries, you will need to take time to recover. The recovery period will be different for each patient depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s health.
After a Fat Transfer, most people feel uncomfortable for the first couple of days, and depending on their occupation and extent of the surgery can return to work 1-week after surgery. Bruising, swelling and discomfort can last a couple of days, or up to 2-weeks.
Light exercise can usually begin 1-week after surgery and more strenuous exercise can be done after 3-weeks. Remember that it is important to follow an exercise maintenance program to achieve the greatest results from the surgery.
If I Don’t Have Enough Fat To Transfer To My Face, Can I Use Someone Else’s Fat For My Surgery?
Yes, but there’s somewhat of a catch. If you don’t have enough fat (this is rare), your donor would have to be an identical twin.
What Are The Risks Involved?
Fat Transfer is a low-risk procedure, though bruising and infection may occur. The key to any procedure is to properly follow your post-care instructions to minimize any potential risks.
During your consultation, your Board Certified Facial Surgeon and his expert medical team will clearly outline all of the necessary precautions you need to take, as well as any postoperative limitations you should follow.
Your surgeon and his team of medical experts will take every necessary precaution to minimize any risks involved with your surgery.
