Natural Facial Enhancements: True, Lasting Beauty

A facial fat transfer, or fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances facial volume by transferring your purified fat to areas where volume loss has occurred. This technique rejuvenates the face by filling in hollow or sunken areas, adding natural-looking fullness to the cheeks, under-eye areas, temples, and lips.

Enjoy a Highly Personalized Experience

Dr. Morisada’s facial fat transfer procedure in Honolulu is designed to be a comfortable and highly personalized experience. During your consultation, Dr. Morisada will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals, collaborating with you to determine where fat transfer can enhance your appearance. The process begins with harvesting a small amount of fat from a donor area, such as the abdomen or thighs, which is then carefully purified to ensure only the highest-quality cells are used.

Target Your Rejuvenation

During the procedure, Dr. Morisada precisely injects the purified fat into the targeted facial areas to sculpt and achieve the desired fullness and balance. Depending on the number of areas being treated, this may take one to three hours. The result? Your natural profile and contours will be enhanced for a smooth, rejuvenated look.

After the procedure, Dr. Morisada’s team will guide you on managing swelling and supporting your recovery. This minimally invasive treatment often means a shorter recovery period than other volumizing options, allowing you to enjoy beautiful, lasting results with less downtime.

FAQ Facial Fat Transfer

How long does a facial fat transfer last?

Facial fat transfer can provide long-lasting results, as a portion of the transferred fat cells integrate with the existing tissues. Results typically last for several years, although the natural aging process will gradually affect appearance over time.

Am I a good candidate for facial fat transfer?

Facial fat transfer is ideal for individuals seeking subtle volume enhancement using their own tissue. Dr. Morisada will assess your needs and discuss whether fat transfer or an alternative treatment would best meet your goals.

What’s the difference between facial fat transfer and dermal fillers?

While both techniques restore facial volume, facial fat transfer uses your fat, offering a bio-compatible, longer-lasting solution. Dermal fillers can be a good option for temporary enhancement or if you prefer not to remove fat from other areas of your body.
