Restore Volume With A Facial Fat Transfer

Naturally You

Volume loss, frequently caused by aging, is usually more prominent around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. Many procedures restore the contours and volume of your face; however, autologous fat transfer to the face is increasing in popularity because of its natural-looking results and lasting benefits for the skin. By gathering excess fat from your body, Dr. Jon Ricks in Frisco, TX, can artfully place the purified fat into the needed parts of your face for lasting, beautiful results. To learn more about facial fat transfer in Frisco contact Ciao Bella Medical Spa to make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Ricks.

What are the benefits of Facial Fat Transfer?

A Long-Lasting Look You’ll Love

A facial fat transfer or facial fat graft can be used in several areas to add volume or decrease lines and wrinkles. Fat transfer is designed to augment the mid-face (and other sections of the body) so that the area appears lifted and fuller without surgery. In addition, transferred fat can also be used to add volume to your lips. You may also consider a fat graft to improve the hollow or sunken under-eye areas. Facial fat transfer may also improve the appearance of scars and wrinkles (brow furrows, marionette lines). Dr. Ricks will develop your custom treatment plan to focus on one or more areas of your face based on your needs and aesthetic goals.

Am I a good candidate for Facial Fat Transfer?

In Expert Hands

If you have excess body fat and are looking to correct volume loss and signs of age, you are likely a good candidate for facial fat transfer. A facial fat transfer or a dermal filler (like JUVÉDERM and Restylane) may improve the appearance of lines and static wrinkles while restoring your face’s volume. Although wrinkle fillers can give you beautiful results, a facial fat transfer typically lasts longer and looks more natural. Once you have decided what you want, he can perform a fat graft on your face for results that last years instead of months.

"Dr. Ricks is a great doctor! He’s compassionate and understanding. He also takes time to listen to what I have to say instead of trying to rush me out, which is very important. He also takes time to call to check on me after the many surgeries that I have had, and that says a lot. Dr. Ricks goes above and beyond for his patients. A doctor that goes that extra mile and still has time to run a full time business says a lot. THANK YOU, DR.RICKS."

"Dr. Ricks is by far the best OBGYN out there. From the first appointment, he has been great. His bedside manner is amazing, and he is truly knowledgeable and will spend the time with you to be sure you understand what’s going on, too. He will go above and beyond for his patients and has personally done that for me, as well as a couple of my friends that see him too. The office staff and clinical team are also top-notch…You’re not just another number to any of them. Hands down, the best office."

Your Facial Fat Transfer Procedure

Correct Signs of Age

After your initial consultation for a facial fat transfer Frisco injectables expert, Dr. Jon Ricks will develop a treatment plan just for you. The day of your procedure, you will be brought into the treatment room and thoroughly prepped. Our laser lipo cannula, which is attached to our Beautifill system, is used to remove fat from the sites on the body that were chosen during your consultation, which is then prepared so that only whole, undamaged fat cells are used. Finally, the fat cells are injected into the targeted areas to obtain the desired appearance.

Facial Fat Transfer Recovery

A Soft, Natural Look

Dr. Jon Ricks will clearly go over all post-care and what you should expect in recovery during your initial consultation, as well as answer any questions during your appointment. There may be bruising and some swelling. Both generally go mostly away in a couple of days, and the swelling should be completely gone within a month.

Facial Fat Transfer Results

Total Facial Rejuvenation

As your recovery period draws to a close, your swelling will go down and the fat transferred to your new area will largely remain. Because this fat is from your own body, the cells that make it through the transfer process will stay there, growing and shrinking over time like fat cells in any other part of your body. You will also see a reduction in size in the donor location. While those fat cells are gone for good, keep in mind that other fat cells in the area will continue to grow and shrink. Maintaining a healthy balance of diet and exercise is a great way to ensure your facial fat transfer results last.
