Facial Fat Grafting in Gainesville, FL
Restore Your Natural Youth and Confidence with Dr. Sadove
Why Choose Facial Fat Grafting?
As we age—or after significant weight loss—our faces naturally lose volume. This can lead to hollow cheeks, deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and a tired appearance. Facial fat grafting, also known as facial fat transfer, is a proven procedure that restores volume and rejuvenates the face using your own natural fat.
At Acne Scar Centerin Gainesville, FL, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Sadove has over 35 years of experience delivering safe, natural, and lasting results. Unlike temporary fillers, fat grafting provides a long-term solution to facial aging while also contouring the area where the fat is removed.
What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that:
- Harvests fat from another area of your body (commonly the abdomen, thighs, or flanks).
- Purifies the fat for reinjection.
- Carefully transfers it into targeted areas of the face for natural rejuvenation.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Hollow or sunken cheeks
- Marionette lines and deep folds
- Sunken temples
- Under-eye hollows
- Jawline softening
- Overall facial rejuvenation
The Rise of “Ozempic Face” and How Fat Grafting Helps
With the popularity of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, many people are experiencing rapid and dramatic weight loss. While this is a positive health change, it often leaves the face looking deflated, aged, and gaunt—commonly referred to as “Ozempic Face.”
Facial fat transfer is one of the most effective treatments for restoring balance after massive weight loss. By using your own fat, Dr. Sadove can:
- Replace lost volume for a healthier, more youthful appearance
- Improve skin quality by reintroducing natural fat cells and stem cells
- Create soft, natural contours that fillers often cannot achieve alone
This procedure has become a go-to solution for both men and women in Gainesville, FL and beyond who want to look as vibrant as they feel after weight loss.
Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting
- Long-lasting results – fat cells that survive transfer become a permanent part of your facial structure.
- 100% natural – no synthetic fillers, only your own tissue.
- Dual benefit – contouring in the donor area plus rejuvenation in the face.
- Stem cell advantage – fat transfer can improve skin texture and quality.
- Custom-tailored – every treatment is uniquely planned for your features and goals.
Is Facial Fat Transfer Right for Me?
Facial fat grafting is an excellent option if you:
- Are noticing age-related facial hollowing
- Have deflation after significant weight loss or Ozempic face
- Want natural results without frequent filler appointments
- Are healthy and have enough donor fat to transfer
During your private consultation, Dr. Sadove will carefully evaluate your concerns and design a personalized treatment plan.
