Fat Grafting — Volume Restoration With Your Own Tissue
Facial aging is driven not only by the descent and laxity of soft tissue, but by the progressive loss of volume in the structural fat compartments that give the youthful face its characteristic fullness, projection, and smooth surface contour. The hollowing of the temples, the deepening of the tear trough, the flattening of the mid-face, and the skeletonization of the periorbital region are among the most telling signs of facial aging — and among the least effectively addressed by skincare, injectables, or tension-based surgical techniques alone. Fat grafting addresses volume loss at its source, harvesting the patient's own adipose tissue from a donor site, processing it to isolate the viable fat fraction, and transferring it with precision into the facial compartments where volume has been lost. At Davidorf Eye Group, our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons apply their comprehensive knowledge of periorbital and facial anatomy to fat grafting with a level of precision and restraint that distinguishes subspecialty practice — restoring structure where it has been lost, without overfilling, distorting, or altering the fundamental character of the face.

What Fat Grafting Can Address
Temple hollowing and skeletonization contributing to a gaunt or aged appearance
Tear trough deformity and periorbital volume loss around the eyes
Mid-face deflation and the loss of cheek projection and contour
Fine surface irregularities and skin quality changes in areas of volume loss
Facial asymmetry driven by differential volume loss between the two sides
Patients seeking long-lasting or permanent volumization beyond what injectable fillers can provide
What to Expect
Fat is harvested through small, inconspicuous incisions at a suitable donor site — most commonly the abdomen or inner thigh — processed, and transferred via fine cannula to the recipient areas of the face. . A proportion of transferred fat achieves permanent integration and results are long-lasting
