Facial fat grafting in Dubai
Fat transfer to the face, also known as fat grafting, is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that can restore lost volume and contour to areas of the face.
It involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, usually the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to the face to provide natural, long-lasting results. In recent years, nanofat has opened up new possibilities in facial fat transfer in Dubai. Nano fat contains stem cells, which can help promote tissue regeneration and improve the body’s ability to absorb and use fat.
Areas of the face that benefit from fat transfer
Fat transfer to cheeks: Fat transfer can restore youthful volume to the cheeks, creating a fuller, more lifted appearance.
Under-eye area: Fat transfer to the under-eye area can help reduce dark circles and hollow areas, leading to a fresher and more rejuvenated look.
Nasolabial folds: Fat grafting can smooth deep lines around the mouth, offering a more youthful, less tired appearance.
Temples: Fat transfer can help restore volume to the temples, which often hollow out as we age.
Chin and jawline: Fat can also be transferred to the chin and jawline to help create a more defined, youthful profile.
Facial fat transfer procedure
A surgeon will first harvest the fat from the donor area during a fat transfer to the face. The fat is then carefully prepared and purified before being injected into the face using a unique micro-droplet injection technique.
This technique helps ensure the fat is evenly distributed and adequately absorbed into the face. The fat that survives the transfer process and remains in the face can vary from patient to patient but typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent.
In addition to restoring volume and contour to the face, fat transfer can also help soften wrinkles and lines, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the definition of the face. It is important to note that fat transfer to the face is not a substitute for a facelift surgery or a one-time procedure. Patients may need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results.
Microfat vs Nano fat grafting
Microfat and nano fat grafting are two distinct techniques used in facial fat transfer, each serving different purposes. Microfat involves harvesting and processing fat to restore volume in areas that have lost fullness, such as the cheeks or under-eye area.
It is ideal for providing structural support and enhancing the contours of the face.
On the other hand, nanofat grafting is a more refined version of fat transfer. The fat is processed further to create a smoother texture, making it ideal for rejuvenation.
Nano fat is typically used to treat fine lines and wrinkles and to improve skin texture, providing a natural, youthful glow. While both techniques involve fat transfer, micro fat focuses on volume restoration, while nano fat enhances the skin’s overall appearance and tone.
Fat transfer to the face recovery
The recovery process after fat transfer is relatively straightforward, with most patients experiencing mild swelling and bruising that typically resolves within a week or two. Here’s a general timeline for fat transfer recovery:
- First few days: Swelling and bruising are common and can be managed with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses.
- Week 1-2: Most swelling and bruising will subside, but you may need to avoid strenuous activities.
- 3-4 Weeks: You can begin to return to normal activities, though you should continue avoiding activities that strain your face.
- 3-6 Months: The final results of the fat transfer will become evident as the fat settles into its new location.
When considering fat transfer to the face, a qualified and experienced surgeon is essential. A surgeon should have a good reputation, excellent training, and sufficient experience performing this procedure.
Additionally, you should ask to see before and after photos of past patients and ensure you feel comfortable with the surgeon. The best surgeons will take the time to review the procedure’s risks and benefits and answer any questions you may have.
Fat transfer to the face can provide natural, long-lasting results and help restore lost volume and contour to areas of the face. When choosing a surgeon, looking for an experienced and qualified practitioner familiar with the latest techniques and technologies is essential.
Additionally, asking to see before-and-after photos of past patients is essential to ensure you feel comfortable with the surgeon. With the right surgeon, you can achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.

Patient Testimonials
Dr Faisal was nothing but outstanding during my entire journey in deciding if I should have a deep plane facelift in my 40’s. I didn’t want fillers and other interim interventions, all I wanted was to turn back time with what I had! From the very first consultation to before and after surgery including my many WhatsApp messages during my recovery months Dr Faisal was calm, reassuring and always there for me. It’s now 6 months on and I can honestly say it was the right decision to make. I am thrilled that it doesn’t look obvious that anything has been done but certainly friends and family comment on how fresh and alive I look! I would highly recommend Dr Faisal for his professional, calm, reassuring and expert advice for anyone considering such a big decision in their life. Juli Fairclough-Davis2024-12-05 I couldn’t say enough wonderful things to do Dr. Faisal justice! He listens. He cares. He has deep discussion with you to be certain he is targeting your root problem or concern. His staff is lovely. He doesn’t miss a step! After a botched mommy make over and THEN a trans-abdominal hysterectomy I was left with a massive scar and intense daily pain. Dr. Faisal gave me my life back! After 6.5 YEARS of intense, debilitating, life-altering pain, I am finally set free! My results are truly remarkable. I could not have asked for anything to go better! I am pain free, I have my athletic build back again and can get back to my active lifestyle with my kiddos again! I hope I never need surgery again in my lifetime but if I do- I’ll go to the ends of the earth to make sure it’s in his hands! He’s a realist and will not lie to you. He sets real expectations and then exceeds them by leaps and bounds! I am forever grateful to Dr. Faisal! Kat Overbeck2024-10-17 Cannot fault the service from start to finish. Highly recommend Dr Faisal and the team. Thank you for everything. Alice Williams2024-10-05 My neighbor recommended Dr. Faisal to me , and I am so happy with the result with only 4months now.I have done the breast augmentation and nipple correction. Dr. Faisal is so professional so good, he can hear you and understand what you want, and he did the work perfectly . I am very happy with my breast now. The results are even better than I had hoped. TT &T2024-09-30 Review of Dr. Faisal - abdominoplasty As a diabetic who had embarked on a weight loss journey to improve my health, I found myself facing a new challenge - unsightly loose skin around my tummy. This unexpected outcome of my weight loss efforts impacted my self-confidence, especially when it came to how I dressed and carried myself. Despite the physical transformation I had achieved, the presence of excess skin made me feel self-conscious and hesitant to fully embrace my new body. Therefore, I started researching doctors who could carry out the procedure. Upon scheduling my initial consultation, recommended by a friend, Dr. Faisal meticulously guided me through the surgery, addressing all my inquiries and aligning with my objectives. Prior to the operation, he dedicated time to addressing any concerns, remaining accessible for my numerous questions, and offering detailed instructions for the recovery process. Post-surgery, he closely monitored my progress and was consistently available for support, even during unconventional hours, providing reassurance and comfort. The recovery is always different for everyone but honestly, I felt it was made easier with the great support and did not struggle at all. I was up and about within a couple of days.....obviously with limitations. Now post 6 week mark i can confidently say Dr. Faisal's exceptional expertise resulted in a fabulous result (i find myself constantly checking myself out in the mirror and i can see abs !!), significantly boosting my self-confidence and I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating this procedure. Puja Gujral2024-09-02 I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Faisal. After having 4 children including a set of twins, I no longer recognized myself when I looked in the mirror. My confidence was non existent. However, the thought of an extended abdominoplasty and breast lift was very daunting. Dr Faisal took the time to explain the whole procedure, recovery and expected outcome in an honest and frank manner whilst allaying any concerns or fears. The result is life changing. I was supported throughout the recovery and I now feel like I have my spark back. I enjoy exercising again and no longer look for baggy clothes to hide my body. Jennifer Durston MA Elip FCCT2024-08-28 I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding results of my surgeries. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome, and every time I look in the mirror, I feel an overwhelming sense of joy and confidence. Dr Faisal's exceptional skill and artistry are truly remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing surgeon. Thank you Dr Faisal for your beautiful work. Louise2024-08-17 Dr. Faisal is an exceptional doctor. Living in Dubai, it's not easy to find the right plastic surgeon. In previous years, I checked many profiles, but somehow I didn't trust them. One day, based on my friend's recommendation (and also after reading excellent reviews), I booked a consultation with Dr. Faisal. He really listens to his patients and answered my long list of questions, even the super silly ones. I didn't go anywhere else, I booked the surgery straight away. The results are just amazing; I got exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend Dr. Faisal to anyone considering plastic surgery. Dora Czuczor2024-08-08 I had breast reduction surgery with Dr Faisal Salim 2 months ago. I was a GG cup size. Before the operation I searched for a good surgeon in the UAE and abroad for over a year, I selected 3 surgeons to meet with and one of them was Dr Faisal. I chose him because he was friendly and thorough in his explanation of what the surgery entailed and in managing my expectations. He and his team were always ready to answer my questions and his assistant Nazokat has been so lovely and helpful. I went into this surgery, very nervous of course, but fully aware of all the possible outcomes and I ended up with results that surpassed my dream scenario. I am so happy with the size and shape of my breasts. I am now a perky C cup at 43! Beyond the aesthetic aspect of my transformation, the health benefits are numerous; It is much easier to just exist everyday and do mondain activities with ease when it was a struggle before. I am able to keep up with my young children and working out has become so much easier that my fitness goals don’t seem so distant anymore. The positive consequences of this intervention don’t end here; one of the most significant outcomes is the impact on my confidence and self esteem; my family noticed that I’m more outgoing and I engage with others more and seem less reserved. I simply feel a million times better about myself! Dr Faisal did an amazing job and I will forever be thankful to him and cannot recommend him enough. He is a highly skilled surgeon and understands what his patients’ worries and preoccupations are. He is reassuring but honest and upfront about possible challenges which is exactly what I was looking for. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I recommend it to every woman who suffers from the burden of having very large breasts. My first visit with Dr Faisal was just a chat about what I was looking for, it was relaxed and I didn’t feel pressured at all. It helped me in realising that this issue that seemed insurmountable could actually be fixed - and now that it is, I wish for every woman who is in the situation I was in to meet with Dr Faisal and get a new lease of life 😊 Laïla Waugh2024-07-25 I want to thank Dr. Faisal for performing on excellent procedure: face lift, neck lift and blepharoplasty- all together during the same surgery- Great ! His bedside manner was excellent. I’m very happy with the results ! This surgery has made a positive impact on my self esteem. Dr. Faisal answered all my questions reassuring me with professionalism at every stage of my journey providing accurate information. Dr. Faisal’s knowledge and skills gave me a very natural look, avoid raising unrealistic expectations. I want to mention also the team at the clinic : friendly and professional. I greatly appreciate everything Dr. Faisal has done for me. Highly recommended- 5 stars. Maria A2024-05-06
