TREATMENT
Facial Fat Grafting
At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, we offer expert facial fat grafting procedures to help you achieve a more youthful and naturally enhanced appearance. Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to transfer fat from other areas of your body to your face, restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles, and improving overall facial contours. This minimally invasive procedure provides long-lasting, natural results that rejuvenate your facial appearance and boost your confidence.
How does Facial Fat Grafting work?
Facial fat grafting works by harvesting fat from one part of your body, typically the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and injecting it into areas of your face that have lost volume. The procedure begins with liposuction to remove fat from the donor area. The fat is then purified and processed before being carefully injected into targeted areas of the face, such as the cheeks, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and lips. This process not only adds volume but also enhances the overall texture and quality of the skin, as the fat contains stem cells that promote healing and rejuvenation.
What to expect during Facial Fat Grafting in Nairobi?
During a facial fat grafting procedure at Avané Clinic in Nairobi, you will first undergo a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best donor site for fat harvesting. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment. The entire process usually takes about 2 to 4 hours. After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising in both the donor and treatment areas. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, with full results visible after a few weeks as the swelling subsides.
