Facial Fat Transfer
Face Procedures
Facial fat transfer uses a small amount of your own fat, gently taken from an area like the abdomen or thighs, to restore lost volume in the face. Dr. Charles Kim purifies the fat and places it where volume has faded, such as the cheeks, temples, or under-eye hollows, to bring back a fuller, more rested look. Because it's your own tissue, results look and feel natural, and the fat that takes hold in the first few months can last for years.

How long do facial fat transfer results last?
Results can last for many years because the transferred fat becomes living tissue. Patients considering long-term fat grafting results often appreciate that a portion of the transferred fat remains permanently. Dr. Charles Kim uses refined purification and micro-injection techniques to maximize fat survival. This creates stable volume restoration and soft, natural contour enhancement that ages gracefully with your face.

Fat transfer benefits areas with volume depletion, including cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, and jawline contours.

At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charles Kim evaluates facial proportions and selects donor areas that provide high-quality fat, ensuring balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation that supports youthful facial structure.
