Home » Fat Transfer Face Chin
Autologous fat transfer (fat grafting) involves harvesting fat from one part of the patient’s body and reinjecting it into another area, such as the face or chin, to add volume to address volume deficiency in selected patients. A consultation is required to determine suitability, discuss alternatives (including implants or fillers), and explain variability in fat survival (take), scarring, recovery, and risks.
