During facial fat injections, fat is typically harvested from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, through liposuction. The harvested fat is processed, purified, and meticulously injected into specific facial areas, such as cheeks, temples, or nasolabial folds, to enhance volume and rejuvenate the face.

The duration of a facial fat injection procedure can range from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount of fat being transferred and the areas being treated. Techniques involve careful injection of purified fat using specialized cannulas to achieve natural-looking results and enhance facial contours. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia as well.

Following the procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort at both the donor and injection sites. Most individuals can resume regular activities within a few days to a week. Some of the injected fat may be reabsorbed initially, with final results becoming more apparent over several months. Adherence to post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for optimal fat survival and achieving desired facial rejuvenation.
