Cheek Augmentation Using Fat Graft

Cheek augmentation using fat grafting (also known as fat transfer) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances cheek volume and contour using your own natural fat. Fat is gently harvested from another area of the body, purified, and then carefully injected into the cheeks to restore volume, improve facial balance, and achieve a soft, natural appearance. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use advanced fat grafting techniques to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results tailored to your facial anatomy.

Treatment Process

Facial proportions are assessed, and donor areas for fat harvesting are identified. Expected outcomes are discussed.

Local or general anaesthesia ensures comfort throughout the procedure.

Fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction techniques.

The harvested fat is purified and strategically injected into the cheeks to create smooth, natural volume.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

  • Most patients return home the same day
  • Swelling and bruising are expected in both donor and cheek areas
  • Mild discomfort usually resolves within a few days
  • Avoid strenuous activity for 1–2 weeks
  • Swelling gradually settles over several weeks
  • Final results become visible as the fat integrates (6–12 weeks)

Risks & Considerations

  • Swelling or bruising at injection or donor sites
  • Partial fat reabsorption (normal and expected)
  • Temporary firmness or unevenness during healing
  • Infection (rare with proper care)
  • Asymmetry requiring minor touch-up
  • Need for additional fat grafting to achieve desired volume

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Smooth Eye Laser exceeded my expectations! I was tired of looking tired, and this treatment worked wonders for my under-eye bags and wrinkles. The recovery was minimal, and the results are natural yet noticeable. I couldn’t be happier!

Quick answers to questions you may have

Yes. Because your own fat is used, results are soft, natural, and blend seamlessly with your facial features.

Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply, results can be long-lasting. Some fat loss is expected, which is accounted for during treatment.

Fat grafting offers longer-lasting results and uses your own tissue. Fillers are temporary and may be better for subtle or short-term enhancement.

Incisions are very small and placed discreetly, resulting in minimal to no visible scarring.

Our surgeons combine aesthetic expertise with advanced fat transfer techniques to deliver balanced, natural facial enhancement with a strong focus on safety and precision.
