Facial volume loss can significantly affect appearance, symmetry, and self-confidence. It may result from trauma, surgery, medical conditions, or natural aging. At Karo Clinic, Facial Fat Grafting offers a safe and effective solution to restore lost volume using the patient’s own natural tissue.
This case highlights a successful fat grafting procedure that improved facial contour and balance.
Patient Presentation
The patient presented with noticeable facial asymmetry and volume deficiency, particularly affecting one side of the face. The condition resulted in a sunken appearance, impacting both aesthetics and self-esteem.
After a detailed facial assessment and discussion of treatment options, autologous fat grafting was recommended as the most suitable approach to restore natural facial volume.
What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting—also known as autologous fat transfer—is a procedure where fat is harvested from one part of the patient’s body (such as the abdomen or thighs), processed, and then carefully injected into targeted areas of the face.
Key advantages include:
- Uses the patient’s own fat (biocompatible and safe)
- Natural-looking and long-lasting results
- Improves facial symmetry and contour
- Enhances skin quality
- No risk of allergic reaction
Pre-Procedure Evaluation
Before the procedure, the patient underwent:
- Detailed facial analysis and volume mapping
- Assessment of donor fat availability
- Counselling regarding expectations and outcomes
- Explanation of procedure stages and recovery
A personalized treatment plan was created to ensure balanced and natural results.
The Procedure
The procedure was performed under sterile conditions by an experienced surgical team.
Steps involved:
- Gentle fat harvesting from a donor site
- Careful processing and purification of fat cells
- Precise micro-injection of fat into deficient facial areas
- Gradual layering to ensure smooth contour and symmetry
Special care was taken to avoid overcorrection and to preserve natural facial expressions.
Post-Procedure Recovery
After the procedure:
- Mild swelling was present initially, which reduced gradually
- No major discomfort or complications were noted
- The patient was advised on facial care and activity restrictions
- Follow-up visits confirmed stable fat uptake
Recovery was smooth, with visible improvement over time as swelling subsided.
Results & Outcome
- Improved facial volume and symmetry
- Softer, more balanced facial contours
- Natural appearance without artificial fullness
