Expert Facial Fat Transfer Procedures in South Africa
Facial aesthetics have advanced dramatically over the years, and facial fat transfer has emerged as one of the most natural and effective ways to restore youthful contours. Dr Deon, a specialist in facial surgery, offers expert procedures designed to rejuvenate and enhance your features safely and effectively.
What is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a procedure where excess fat is harvested from areas of the body such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and carefully injected into areas of the face that need volume. Common areas treated include:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lips
- Jawline
This technique restores volume lost due to aging, enhances facial symmetry, and provides a natural-looking result.
