Fat Transfer to Cheeks
Combat the signs of ageing and restore volume in your cheeks at Sydney's leading cosmetic surgery.
The fat transfer to cheeks procedure will help to rectify any loss of volume in the area that has been caused by ageing or extreme weight loss. The “skeletal” or ‘’gaunt’’ appearance is best combated by fat grafting cheeks to restore volume and a more youthful appearance.
Many factors can cause facial volume loss in both men and women including stress, ageing and weight loss. The doctors at ICCM have vast experience and have mastered the fat transfer technique.
This process offers dual benefit as it involves the harvesting of fat from a different section of the body, resulting in a more toned body contour. This fat is then purified and grafted to restore volume in your cheeks. The fat can be taken from the love handles, outer thighs or stomach via the liposculpture technique.

What is involved with the fat grafting facelift?
The fat transfer to cheeks procedure involves a small amount of fat being removed from a specific area on the body that has a safe amount spare. An amount of fat around 25-30mls is most commonly taken from the hips, outer thighs or stomach and injected into the cheeks.
The small amount means no obvious indent will be left in the originating area. The procedure offers results of up to three years or longer depending on the individual.
