At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, we understand that every face tells a story—and that aging, weight changes, or genetics can sometimes create imbalances that don’t reflect how vibrant you feel inside. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon with deep ties to the Atlanta medical community, our team is here to help you restore youthful volume and balance through facial fat transfer. With unmatched expertise, a personalized care model, and a deep knowledge of what Atlanta patients want in natural rejuvenation, we offer a trusted and compassionate approach for anyone ready to take the next step in their facial aesthetic journey.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer (also known as autologous fat grafting) is a revolutionary procedure that restores youthful fullness by repurposing your body’s own fat. It’s ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Hollow cheeks and under-eye bags
- Deep folds around the mouth (nasolabial folds and marionette lines)
- Loss of definition in the jawline and temples
- Overall facial volume loss due to aging or weight loss
This procedure is especially relevant for Atlanta’s diverse and active population, where many patients seek subtle, natural results that blend seamlessly into professional and social environments. Instead of using synthetic fillers, Dr. Stong utilizes your own purified fat to achieve results that are long-lasting, natural-feeling, and safe.
Key Benefits
- Natural results using your body’s own tissue
- Dual-effect: contour the body and rejuvenate the face
- Minimal allergy risk (biocompatible)
- Long-lasting improvement: many patients see benefits for years
- Minimally invasive with less downtime than traditional surgery
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Facial fat grafting is versatile and can be used to enhance multiple areas:
- Under-eye hollows & tear troughs
- Cheeks & midface for youthful plumpness
- Temples & brow area for a lifted, rested look
- Nasolabial folds & marionette lines
- Jawline & chin for definition
- Lips (select cases) for subtle volume
What to Expect
- Personalized Consultation – Dr. Stong creates a custom plan based on your facial anatomy and goals.
- Fat Harvesting – Using gentle liposuction, fat is collected from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Purification – Fat is refined to isolate high-quality cells.
- Precise Injections – Fat is strategically injected to restore volume and balance.
Downtime is typically 1–2 weeks, with final results visible at 3–6 months. Our Atlanta-based team will provide detailed aftercare guidance and schedule all follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing.
How Long Does It Last?
Fat cells that survive the transfer process become permanent. While some resorption is normal, the remaining fat provides long-term improvement—outlasting most dermal fillers, which need touch-ups every 6–18 months.
