Fat grafting, otherwise known as lip injections, facial injections, fat transfer, fillers, cheek injections, chin injections, or eye injections removes fat from a patient’s body — usually from the stomach, thighs, or buttocks — which is then injected into the face to add fullness to lips or plump up creased, furrowed, or sunken facial skin. Fat grafting or lip injections, facial injections, fat transfer, fillers, cheek injections, chin injections, or eye injections is a natural alternative for patients who do not wish to use facial augmentation implants or chemicals. The duration of the procedure is about 1 to 2 hours and there is minimal recovery time, as daily activities may be resumed immediately.
Estimated Cost
Fat grafting typically costs between $5,000 and $5,500 depending on the case. This estimate includes the surgeon, operating room, and anesthesia fees.
