Facial Fat Grafting

Natural Facial Volume Restoration with Dr. Puyana

Natural Volume. Refreshed Youth. Real Rejuvenation.

Facial aging is not just about wrinkles — it’s about volume loss. As the face ages, fat pads diminish and shift, leading to hollowness, flattening, and a tired appearance. Restoring volume is one of the most powerful ways to rejuvenate the face while maintaining a natural look.

Facial Fat Grafting offers a biologic, long-lasting solution using your own tissue — no synthetic fillers, no foreign substances.

At Puyana 

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana performs facial fat grafting as a standalone procedure or as an adjunct to facial surgery, using advanced processing techniques to deliver refined, natural, and durable results.

What Is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting is a procedure in which a patient’s own fat is:

  • Gently harvested from a donor area
  • Carefully processed and purified
  • Strategically transferred to targeted areas of the face

This technique restores facial volume, improves contour, and enhances skin quality — all while maintaining natural movement and expression.

Dr. Salomon Puyana customizes each facial fat grafting plan based on facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and desired rejuvenation.

Why Choose Facial Fat Grafting?

Patients choose facial fat grafting to:

  • Restore youthful facial volume
  • Improve hollowness under the eyes, cheeks, temples, and jawline
  • Achieve natural-looking rejuvenation
  • Avoid synthetic fillers or foreign materials
  • Complement facelift or eyelid surgery

Because fat is living tissue, facial fat graftingnot only restores volume but can also improve skin quality over time.

Most Advanced Fat Processing & Transfer Techniques

Successful facial fat grafting depends on how the fat is handled. Dr. Salomon Puyana uses specialized processing techniques designed to:

  • Maximize fat cell survival
  • Improve long-term retention
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Enhance consistency and precision

In addition to traditional structural fat grafting, Dr. Puyana performs micro-fat and nano-fat grafting, allowing targeted rejuvenation of delicate facial areas.

Structural vs. Microvs. Nano-Fat Grafting

Dr. Salomon Puyana offers both approaches and selects the technique that best suits the patient.

Structural Fat Grafting

Used to restore volume and contour in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, temples, and chin. This technique provides shape, projection, and long-term volume restoration.

Micro-Fat Grafting

Used for more delicate contouring and blending. Ideal for smoothing transitions and refining facial balance.

Nano-Fat Grafting

Ultra-refined fat rich in regenerative components, used to improve skin quality, texture, and fine lines — particularly around the eyes, lips, and skin surface.

Dr. Salomon Puyana often combines these techniques to address both structure and skin rejuvenation in a single treatment plan.

Facial Fat GraftingA Higher Standard of Care

Facial rejuvenation requires precision, restraint, and aesthetic judgment.

What to Expect Before, During, & After Surgery

  • Surgery Day: Fat is harvested, processed, and transferred with precision in our fully accredited surgical facility. The procedure may be standalone or combined with other facial treatments.
