What’s the secret to a beautiful, more youthful looking appearance? A fuller and smoother face. Aging is inevitable, but there are ways you can rejuvenate your look and keep wrinkles at bay. If you are starting to notice the effects of aging on your face, you may want to explore what a fat transfer to the face[¹] with Dr. Emily Jiles can do for you.
Fat transfer to the face, or facial fat grafting[²], is a surgical facial rejuvenation technique where liposuction is performed on the face to extract fat from one area and inject it into other areas of the face where it is needed. Through this procedure, the goal is to add volume, improving the overall appearance of your face.
Five of the most common areas fat transfer to the face procedures are generally performed are:
Although facial fat grafting is considered a permanent procedure. However, surgeon’s estimate that the retention rate of the injected fat could be around 60%. That means, in time, these fillers may naturally dissolve. If you’ve been shedding weight consistently after the procedure, these injections may dissolve much faster than usual.
Volume repletion is the most common reason for performing fat transfer to the face.
As we age, we lose some of the facial fat that plumps up our forehead, cheeks, and the areas around our eyes and mouth. As a result, we ended up with hollow areas under our eyes, flat-looking cheeks, and saggy skin with unwanted lines and creases.
The fat injections in the face aim to eliminate these issues, giving you a youthful, refreshed look.
The most important goal is maintain a refreshed look of youth; you should never look "overdone" or "pulled too tight." You should just look like your younger self.
- Dr. Emily Jiles
Fat injections in the face may be right for you if you are looking for a more natural way to restore your youthful appearance.
Ideal candidates for fat transfer to the face should have the following:
Facial fat grafting occupies a particular space in cosmetic surgery. It is a procedure that demands both surgical skill and a genuine artistic eye, because restoring volume to the face is not just a technical exercise. It requires understanding facial anatomy, proportionality, and how subtle changes in one area affect the overall appearance of the face as a whole.
Dr. Jiles holds membership on the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery as well as the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, which reflects her specialized focus on the face and the professional standards she maintains. Her approach to facial fat grafting is deliberately restrained. The objective is to restore what has been lost to time without creating an overfilled, unnatural appearance that draws attention to itself.
We begin with a comprehensive facial assessment during your consultation, discussing where volume loss has occurred, what degree of correction is realistic, and whether fat grafting alone or in combination with other approaches best addresses your concerns. We are equally comfortable telling a patient that a less invasive option may be sufficient as we are recommending surgery when it genuinely makes sense.
The all-female environment of our practice often matters to patients considering facial procedures, where the conversation about aging, appearance, and personal identity can feel especially personal. Our team approaches those conversations with care and respect. We welcome patients from Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, and St. Petersburg who want thoughtful, individualized guidance on facial rejuvenation options.
