Several procedures rejuvenate the contours and volume of your face, but fat grafting to the face is growing in popularity because of its natural improvements and lasting benefits for the skin. Loss of volume, often due to aging, is usually most pronounced around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. Facial fat transfer is used to minimize some of the most typical signs of aging, and it restores fullness by smoothing lines, wrinkles, and folds on your face through your own fatty tissue. By taking unwanted fat from your body, Dr. Mark W. Stalder in New Orleans, LA can skillfully transfer the fat into the desired parts of your face for lasting, beautiful outcomes. Contact Stalder Plastic Surgery to arrange an appointment with Dr. Stalder for more information about autologous fat transfer to the face.
How Does Facial Fat Transfer Work?
Laser lipo and fat transfer is an outpatient procedure performed in our New Orleans, LA practice. To perform this procedure, we utilize a topical numbing solution to reduce discomfort during your treatment. Once we clean the treatment site, Dr. Stalder will use a precise laser device to retrieve a healthy tissue sample. The adipose sample will be immediately purified with our fat transfer system. Once it has been prepped, a team member will carefully add the specimen into the chosen regions of the face, such as the cheeks or lips, to elevate fullness and supply a softened, youthful-looking result.
What Are The Benefits Of A Facial Fat Transfer?
This cutting-edge procedure offers a range of benefits for achieving natural, youthful facial rejuvenation:
- Removes fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs
- Restores volume in cheeks, jawline, lips, and under-eyes
- Smooths lines, wrinkles, and folds
- Minimally invasive, with no synthetic materials used
- Customizable for specific facial areas
- Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime

- Longer-lasting results than dermal fillers
Am I A Candidate for a Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat grafting is good if you want to add volume that looks natural to certain areas of your face. A facial fat transfer may fill in wrinkles like laugh lines, smile lines, and Crow's feet. Fat may also improve the appearance of acne scars and sunken areas of your face. You may also enhance your lips and cheeks for a rejuvenated appearance. Similar to the results of an injectable filler, such as Restylane or Juvéderm, a fat transfer is a good option if you'd like longer-lasting results. To be a candidate for fat grafting, you should have enough excess fat to meet your goals.

Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for about 1 – 2 weeks. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activity while your body heals.

I can’t give enough thanks to Dr Stalder and his PA Megan. After a DMX to implant and a year of complications, they immediately developed a plan and I underwent a SHAEP FLAP procedure. The recovery from this surgery compared to the implants from another plastic surgeon was night and day. I knew right then I had chosen the right team this time. Megan is readily available by text for any questions or advice. I cannot say how grateful I am to this amazing team of medical professionals and a simple thank you is not enough. They gave me a quality of life back and I feel I am finally on a forward path. I highly recommend Stalder Plastics to anyone who unfortunately needs their services.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication. Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I am hopeful that I will never have to hear those dreaded words, “you have breast cancer,” in my lifetime. I highly recommend Dr. Mark Stalder to anyone considering breast reconstruction. He listens attentively, provides compassionate care, and is dedicated to his patients. His team worked diligently to ensure I was fully informed and confident in my decisions regarding the surgery, making me feel valued and well-cared-for throughout the process. Now, over a year later, I can confidently say that choosing both Dr. Stalder and this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Stalder and his team are truly the best in their field.
When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
