What is Facial fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, is the process of using fat cells from other parts of your body as a long-term solution to plump and enhance your lips and cheeks.

The fat cells then re-integrate into your body and provide long-term volume to improve your appearance and restore your self-esteem.

The fat cells are then purified and prepared in a centrifuge, after which we are ready to begin.
