It is driven by the need for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and natural enhancement in modern aesthetic medicine. 

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess fat from one part of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) and injecting it into another area to restore volume. This technique is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, or body contouring.

The process typically involves liposuction to harvest the fat, which is then purified and re-injected into the target area. Since the fat is from the patient’s own body, the procedure generally carries a lower risk of rejection or allergic reactions. Fat grafting is popular for creating natural-looking, long-lasting results in areas that may have lost volume due to aging, weight loss, or other factors.
