If you notice that your face is looking markedly older due to lack of volume in key areas, facial fat transfer can restore youthful fullness. Facial fat transfer is becoming a sought after procedure because it produces satisfactory, long-lasting results. But how much does facial fat transfer cost.
What is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer is a procedure in which the patient’s own fat is used to restore facial volume. The process involves harvesting fat from areas of the body where there is excess, such as the hips, abdomen, and thighs and then transferring it to those areas of the face that have experienced age-related volume loss.
Popular areas for facial fat transfer include the cheeks, under the eyes, jawline, and lips, but the procedure can be done on virtually any area of the face where fat is needed.
How much does facial fat transfer cost?
Facial fat transfer costs $5,050 on average, based on patient reviews on Realself.com. However, the cost can range from a minimum of $100 to more than $10,000, as several factors can affect the actual cost.
Factors that affect the cost of facial fat transfer
- Number of areas being treated
The cost will be higher if there are many facial areas that need to be addressed, because the procedure will be longer and more complex.
- Geographic location of the practice
Practices located in prime urban centers where overheads are higher, will likely charge more to perform facial fat transfer.
- Surgical facility
Facial fat transfer typically costs less if it is performed in the surgeon’s surgical facility instead of a hospital.
