Surgical Technique
Dr. Snyder employs advanced techniques to ensure optimal results with facial fat grafting, which involves three key steps:
- Harvesting: Fat is harvested from areas of the body where it is abundant, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, using liposuction. Dr. Snyder uses a gentle liposuction technique to minimize damage to the fat cells and ensure their viability for grafting.
- Purification: The harvested fat is then purified by separating the healthy fat cells from any impurities or excess fluids to ensure that only the best quality fat is used for grafting.
- Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into specific areas of the face that require volume enhancement or contouring. Common areas include the cheeks, under the eyes, the nasolabial folds, and the jawline. Dr. Snyder meticulously injects the fat in small amounts and in multiple layers to achieve long-lasting results.

Facial Fat Grafting Step-by-Step
Before
Before facial fat grafting, patients undergo a personal consultation, which allows them to discuss their goals and concerns and ask any questions. This initial meeting period also gives Dr. Snyder adequate time to better determine your customized treatment plan. Candidates for facial fat grafting surgery are individuals seeking to restore lost facial volume, enhance facial contours, or reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds.
During
On the day of surgery, Dr. Snyder harvests fat from a donor site using specialized liposuction techniques, ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. The harvested fat undergoes a thorough purification process to isolate healthy fat cells from impurities and excess fluids. Dr. Snyder then injects the purified fat into targeted facial areas using fine needles, meticulously layering the fat to achieve even distribution and natural-looking results. Dr. Snyder assesses facial symmetry and balance throughout the procedure, adjusting as necessary to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes.
After
Following the facial fat grafting procedure, patients enter a recovery period that may include swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. Most patients can return to their normal activities within one to two weeks, although full recovery may take a few weeks. As the healing progresses over the following weeks, patients will gradually notice facial volume and contour improvements. The injected fat cells integrate with the surrounding tissues, enhancing facial fullness and restoring youthful contours.
