Fat Transfer to the Face in Newport Beach
Facial Fat Transfer at Beyond Restore
Fat transfer to the face uses your own fat, taken from another area of the body, to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples and under-eyes. At Beyond Restore, it is performed by Dr. Andrew Jarminski and Dr. Paris Sabo.
What Is Fat Transfer to the Face?
With age, the face can lose volume, leaving the cheeks flatter, the temples hollower and the under-eyes more shadowed. Fat transfer to the face takes fat from another area of your body and places it where the face has lost volume. Because it uses your own fat, nothing synthetic is added.
