Regenerative Fat Grafting IN Beverly Hills
Natural Volume Restoration & Facial Rebalancing by Dr. Elie Ramly
At Ramly Plastic Surgery, we believe true facial rejuvenation begins from the inside out. Through regenerative fat grafting (autologous fat transfer), Dr. Elie Ramly restores youthful volume, supports facial structure, and rebalances contours — using your own living tissue. This is the ultimate answer for hollow cheeks, volume loss, under-eye deflation, or any facial or neck changes from aging or rapid weight loss.
What Is Regenerative Fat Grafting?
Regenerative fat grafting harvests fat from donor areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs) and meticulously purifies and transfers it to targeted sites on the face, neck, or hands — depending on needs. Unlike fillers, fat transfers:
Use your own tissue (lower risk, natural integration)
Provide durable, long-lasting volume
Improve skin quality over time (via regenerative cell components)
Move naturally with your expressions — no stiffness, no “frozen” appearance
Fat grafting is not a shortcut — it is a refined, anatomically precise art. When done correctly, the results are subtle, authentic, and long-term.
Why Choose Fat Grafting Over Fillers or Implants
Autologous tissue: no foreign materials, leading to more natural feel and appearance
Longevity: fat integrates into the tissue — results are lasting and often improve with time
Versatility: volume can be added to cheeks, temples, under-eyes, jawline, lips, hands, and other areas
Structural support: fat adds real volume, restoring midface support, contour, and youthful proportions
Skin and tissue regeneration: fat grafts carry regenerative cells that can improve skin tone, texture, elasticity, and overall facial health
For many patients — especially those with volume loss after weight loss or age-related volume decline — fat grafting is the superior choice.
Dr. Ramly’s Fat Grafting Philosophy
Subtlety. Balance. Lifetime results.
Your face is a fingerprint — unique, expressive, alive. Fat grafting should restore that character — not erase or reshape it.
Our principles:
Conservative, natural restoration — never overfill
Anatomically informed placement — respecting facial structure and movement
Balanced volume distribution — recreating youthful harmony
Integration of fat with deep tissue planes for long-lasting results
Harmonious pairing with other procedures (facelift, neck lift, eyelids) when necessary
Discreet incisions and refined healing
This is high-end, regenerative facial rejuvenation — quietly luxurious and deeply authentic.
Common Areas Treated
Cheeks / midface (restore fullness and youthful contour)
Temples and brow area (address hollowing, restore support)
Under-eyes / tear-trough (smooth hollows, support delicate tissue)
Nasolabial folds & smile lines (soft volume support)
Jawline & chin (for definition, balance, and facial symmetry)
Lips (balanced refinement, not overdone)
Hands (volume loss, visible veins, hollowing)
Neck, décolletage, or other areas needing subtle volumetric support
Fat grafting is truly versatile — perfect for patients seeking natural, whole-face rejuvenation.
Ideal Candidates for Fat Grafting
You may benefit if you:
Have lost facial volume (midface, under-eyes, cheeks, temples) due to aging, weight loss, or GLP-1 therapy
Want soft, natural volume restoration — not a “filled” look
Prefer long-lasting, regenerative solutions over temporary fillers
Want to restore youthful structure and avoid skeletal or hollow appearance
Are in good health, maintain stable weight, and have realistic expectations
Prefer subtlety over dramatic change — looking like a better version of yourself, not a different person
What Results You Can Expect
With regenerative fat transfer you can expect:
Restored youthful fullness in key facial zones
Smoother transitions and softer facial contours
Reduced hollowing and better under-eye support
Improved skin tone, texture, and elasticity over time
Natural, age-appropriate rejuvenation that integrates with your expressions
Long-lasting results that behave like real tissue — not foreign implants
A refreshed, balanced, authentic version of you
Results age gracefully alongside you, not against you.
The Fat Grafting Process at Ramly Plastic Surgery
Initial private consultation and facial-volume assessment
High-definition photography + 3D imaging (if needed) for volumetric planning
Fat harvest (abdomen, flanks, thighs, etc.) using gentle liposuction technique
Purification and preparation of fat graft (micro-/nano-fat processing)
Precise, layer-by-layer fat injection into target areas with careful contouring
Option to combine with other facial procedures (facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery) for total balance
Discreet incision closure, refined post-op care, and quiet-luxury recovery environment
Patients commonly report subtle swelling for a few days, then a smooth transition as the fat integrates — with minimal downtime and natural results.
Regenerative Fat Grafting vs. Dermal Fillers or Implants
Unlike fillers or synthetic implants, regenerative fat grafting uses your own living tissue, allowing it to integrate naturally with smooth movement and authentic expression. Because the transferred fat becomes part of your facial structure, it provides long-lasting, often permanent improvement rather than the temporary effects that require frequent maintenance with fillers. Fat grafting also carries regenerative cellular components that can enhance skin tone, texture, and quality over time — benefits that synthetic options cannot match. While fillers and implants may introduce foreign materials with potential stiffness, disproportion, or overfilled appearance, autologous fat offers soft, harmonious facial balance that ages naturally. It is safe, biocompatible, and avoids the risks of allergic or foreign-body reactions associated with synthetic products. For patients seeking subtle, lasting, and regenerative facial rejuvenation, fat grafting is unquestionably the superior choice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the fat stay forever?
Yes — much of the transferred fat integrates permanently, providing lasting volume and structure.
Some resorption may occur initially, which is accounted for during planning, but long-term changes are minimal with stable lifestyle.
Will I look overfilled or puffy?
No — Dr. Ramly’s technique emphasizes restraint, balance, and subtlety. The goal is natural volume restoration, not overcorrection.
Is fat grafting painful or risky?
Fat grafting is well-tolerated. When done properly, risks are low. Post-op swelling or mild discomfort is common but manageable.
How long until I see results?
Many patients see visible improvement within 2–4 weeks. Final contour and integration often take 2–3 months.
Can I combine fat grafting with other procedures?
Absolutely. Fat grafting pairs especially well with facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery — allowing for a complete, balanced rejuvenation.
What happens if I lose more weight later?
Any future substantial weight loss can reduce volume overall. Stable weight is ideal before fat grafting for best long-term results.
