Facial fat injection (Fat Transfer) is a popular choice for correcting a tired-looking face, hollow cheeks or loss of facial fat, restoring a full, firm and youthful look. The procedure uses a fat cell injection technique with fat taken from excess fat elsewhere on the body, such as the abdomen or thighs. The doctor separates and prepares the harvested fat before carefully adding it to the face in just the right amount, so the fat cells survive and spread evenly, preventing uneven skin or excessive swelling. This technique allows the blood supply to nourish the new fat cells thoroughly, so the skin looks radiant, balanced and well proportioned, and a tired-looking face, hollow cheeks or loose skin are gone right away. Many people wonder whether fat injection for a youthful face is worth it, or how long facial fat grafting lasts. The answer is that results can last for many years with proper self-care. And for anyone asking where to get facial fat injection, a cosmetic surgery hospital with an expert medical team and modern technology gives you confidence in safety and beautiful, natural-looking results.

Besides liposuction to balance your proportions, the fat that is removed is more useful than you might think. This excess fat can go through a selection process to keep only high-quality fat cells and then be stored in Fat Banking, a “fat bank”. It is a new technology that SLC Hospital has introduced to store fat under international laboratory standards.

Fat Banking technology can store fat for up to 2 years, so you don’t need liposuction several times. With just one liposuction session using the Vaser Liposelection technique, you can safely store fat for future use, whether for facial fat grafting or fat injection in other areas of the body. This makes caring for your figure and skin more convenient, cuts down on repeated surgery, and gives you confidence in the highest quality and safety.

Principles of Fat Transfer – Grafting Fat Cells to Restore Volume

The facial fat injection (Fat Transfer) procedure at SLC Hospital is carried out with meticulous technique at every step, for maximum fat cell survival and complete, even distribution across the face.

• The doctor gives local anesthetic and identifies the areas with the best-quality fat, such as the abdomen, outer thighs, buttocks or inner knees, which vary from person to person.
• A small incision of no more than 0.5 cm is made to insert the medical instrument and carefully remove the fat.

• The fat goes through a screening process to separate only the highest-quality fat cells.

• The screened fat cells are injected into the areas that need volume, using a 3-molecule fat injection technique (Macro, Micro and Nano), so every area can be filled, whether deep folds or delicate areas such as under the eyes and the eyelids.
• For those who want a top-up, the remaining fat can be stored under special laboratory standards for the next injection, and the fat keeps for up to 2 years.

Nano Fat Stemcell Nano-Sized Fat Cells: Filling Deep Skin Layers and Restoring Youthfulness

The Nano Fat Stemcell technique, which many people know as youthful-face fat grafting, is a transplant of fat cells that have been finely separated into tiny nano-sized fat cells. Its key feature is using good, living fat cells to fill the skin at every level, from deep folds to fine lines. These fat cells remain dense and can effectively rejuvenate aging skin.

During the procedure, the doctor harvests fat from excess areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, then processes the fat particles down to nano size while keeping their full ability to build elasticity and rejuvenate the skin. Fat injection with this technique fills deep wrinkles and folds, restores firmness and adds Volume so the face looks bright and naturally youthful. The Nano Fat Stemcell technique suits people who want to correct a tired-looking face or a face that has naturally lost fat, and it is another popular option for facial care without relying on synthetic or foreign substances.

Who Is Nano Fat Stemcell Suitable For?

• Upper eyelids
  Suitable for people with hollow upper eyelids and wrinkled upper eyelid skin, or a lack of Volume – nano-level fat grafting smooths the skin and reduces eyelid hollowness, so the eyes look brighter.
• Under the eyes
  People with deep under-eye hollows or dark under-eye circles can use the Nano Fat Stemcell technique to fill the under-eye area naturally. The small-molecule fat cells nourish the skin under the eyes, making hollows shallower, improving skin tone under the eyes and reducing a tired look, so the face looks fresher.
• Whole face
  People with a tired-looking face or a lack of radiance from losing natural fat, such as dry, rough or loose facial skin. Nano-level fat cell grafting adds Volume across the face and rejuvenates the skin so it looks plump, smooth and healthily youthful.

The Nano Fat Stemcell technique therefore meets the need for deep skin rejuvenation at the cellular level, effectively addressing deep facial folds so the face looks bright, plump and natural from every angle.

Look Younger with a Radiant Face: Rejuvenate Your Skin with Nano Fat Stemcell

The Nano Fat Stemcell technique not only adds Volume for a well-proportioned face but also helps rejuvenate the skin at a deep level (Fat Rejuvenation). The tiny nano-sized fat cells injected under the skin help boost moisture and restore the elasticity lost as collagen declines, so the skin looks younger, brighter and more radiant, whether across the whole face or in delicate areas such as the upper eyelids and under the eyes.

Why You Should Not Inject Too Much Fat at Once?

Injecting your own fat is like moving living cells from one part of the body to another. So, for the greatest number of fat cells to survive, the fat must be injected in just the right amount and spread evenly over the area being filled. This lets the fat cells receive a full blood supply, reduces the risk of fat cell death, and helps the skin recover quickly, with smooth, natural-looking results.

But if too much fat is injected at once, even though the skin may look tight and lifted right away, the face will be very swollen after the procedure. It also increases the risk of fat cell death, because blood cannot reach and nourish the fat cells everywhere, which can lead to uneven skin or lumps later. Gradually adding fat in suitable amounts is therefore the best approach to keep the fat cells healthy and make them last as long as possible.

How Long Does Grafted Fat Last?

Once fat cell grafting is successful and the fat cells have fully survived, the grafted fat can remain under the skin long term, depending on factors such as self-care after the procedure, the treated area and each person’s physical condition. However, rapid weight loss or health problems, such as certain underlying conditions, may cause the fat cells to shrink, reducing the results of the fat grafting. Looking after your health and weight properly therefore helps the grafted fat last longer and keeps the skin looking full for longer.

Benefits of Fat Injection at SLC

• High-quality fat cell screening – selecting only the healthiest fat cells for effective, long-lasting results
• A high-standard fat cell storage system in a laboratory comparable to stem cell storage (Stem Cells), able to store fat for up to 2 years
• One-time discomfort – but you can store fat for 2-3 more top-ups without repeat liposuction
• Less swelling, fast recovery – thanks to injecting just the right amount of fat, which reduces swelling after the procedure and gives natural-looking results
• High fat cell survival – because blood can fully reach and nourish the cells, reducing the risk of cell death
• Safe for tissues – because it is your own body fat, so there is no risk of allergy or rejection by the body
• Balanced proportions – the areas where fat is removed look firmer and better proportioned
• Gentle, soft filling – the face looks sweeter with more Volume, and wrinkles and folds look shallower, helping the face look younger and brighter
