APEX Facial Fat Grafting Autologous fat naturally fills the hollow areas of the face for a fuller, more sculpted and youthful look. Volume and dimension for a lively face! With age, the fullness under the eyes and in the front cheeks is lost and forehead fat decreases as well, making the forehead look sunken. The lips also lose volume and grow thinner while wrinkles increase around the mouth, adding years to your appearance. Fat grafting transplants fat harvested from your own body to restore volume where it is lacking, creating overall dimension in the face while removing unwanted fat elsewhere - two benefits in one. Fill hollow areas with your own fat and boost facial volume and dimension! The key is adjusting the ideal graft volume with absorption in mind! APEX's facial fat grafting is performed to bring out soft curves from the forehead to the chin, creating a dimensional, natural and youthful face. Using your own fat minimizes any foreign-body sensation and side effects.

Prologue

As we age, the fullness under the eyes and in the front of the cheeks is lost and fat in the forehead decreases, so the forehead looks hollow. The lips also lose volume and become thinner, and lines increase around the mouth, making you look older. Fat grafting transplants fat harvested from your own body to restore volume where it is lacking, building overall dimension in the face while removing unwanted fat elsewhere — two benefits from one procedure.
