Autologous Volume Restoration
Facial Fat Grafting in Minneapolis — Van Beek + Plastic Surgery Specialists
Facial fat grafting uses carefully prepared tissue from the patient's own body to restore selected areas of volume with restraint.
Procedure Overview
Fat is harvested from a donor area, processed, and placed in small amounts according to facial anatomy. Because some transferred volume may not persist, planning focuses on proportion and realistic expectations.
Who Is It For?
Adults with facial volume loss who have a suitable donor area and understand that fat retention varies.
What to Expect
Consultation includes facial analysis, donor-site evaluation, and discussion of fat grafting alone or in combination with another procedure.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising can affect both the face and donor area. The appearance changes as swelling resolves and transferred tissue settles.
Risks & Considerations
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, contour irregularity, fat resorption, cysts, and rare vascular complications.
