Microft grafts

At VedaNu Wellness, your consultation is designed to be a thoughtful and informative experience. Your surgeon will take time to understand your unique goals, listen to your concerns, and evaluate your facial structure to determine the best path forward.

Together, you’ll explore what’s possible, and your provider will develop a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic vision. They’ll walk you through every detail — from technique and timing to recovery expectations — so you feel informed, confident, and supported in your decision.

Microfat grafting is frequently paired with facelift surgery for enhanced, longer-lasting results, and your consultation will help determine whether a combination approach is right for you.

The best candidates for microfat grafting are individuals who have visible signs of facial aging — such as volume loss or hollowed areas — and also have areas of excess fat elsewhere on the body that can serve as donor sites. This treatment offers the added benefit of subtle body contouring while rejuvenating facial features.

Many patients choose microfat grafting because they’re looking for a long-lasting, natural alternative to dermal fillers, or they may have sensitivities or allergies to synthetic injectables. This two-in-one solution helps enhance facial volume, restore youthful balance, and gently slim another area of the body in the process.

During your consultation at VedaNu Wellness, your provider will help determine if microfat grafting is the right approach based on your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and overall health.

The procedure begins by gently harvesting fat from a donor area of the body using a small incision and a fine cannula (a thin, hollow tube). Common donor areas include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or buttocks. Once collected, the fat is carefully purified to isolate only the healthiest cells.

Your provider will then precisely inject the refined fat into targeted areas of the face — such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, or under the eyes — to restore volume, improve contours, and soften lines or hollow areas.

This treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia with light sedation for comfort. In some cases, local anesthetic alone may be sufficient. We also offer topical numbing cream to help make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Your recovery from microfat grafting will depend on whether the procedure is performed on its own or in combination with a facelift. If paired with a facelift, your downtime will follow the recovery timeline specific to that surgery. If fat grafting is done independently, most patients need about 7 days of light downtime.

Since microfat grafting involves two treatment areas — the donor site (where the fat is removed) and the injection site (where it’s placed) — you may experience mild bruising, swelling, or soreness in both regions. These symptoms typically improve within 1 to 2 weeks. Some patients may notice small, firm areas under the skin in the treated zones, which usually soften and fade naturally within a few days.

To support a smooth recovery:

• Keep your head elevated while resting or sleeping for the first few days
• Use cold compresses or ice packs to minimize swelling
• Consider applying topical Arnica Montana to reduce bruising
