Bring back the fullness that time has taken. Volume restoration with fat transfer offers a natural way to smooth, soften, and rejuvenate your appearance.
You want natural-looking results and a process you can feel good about. Dr. Bret Johnson is known for helping patients restore youthful volume through refined fat transfer techniques that are tailored to the individual.
The fat transfer process involves gently removing fat from one part of your body, purifying it, and skillfully placing it into areas of the face that have lost volume. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the procedure feels and how quickly they notice the difference in their reflection.
Fat transfer offers a natural approach to restoring facial balance and youthfulness. Patients often choose this option because it provides:
Since the fat comes from your own body, it blends seamlessly with your features.
Results can outlast synthetic fillers, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
Hollow areas are smoothed, creating a refreshed and more youthful appearance.
Your own fat is used, making it biocompatible and less likely to cause reactions.
This procedure is often a great option for individuals with visible facial hollowing, deep folds, or sagging due to volume loss. If you have areas of unwanted fat elsewhere on your body and prefer a natural alternative to fillers, fat transfer may be the right fit.

A fat transfer is a simple process that uses your body’s own fat to restore volume, smooth out hollow areas, and bring back softer, youthful contours. Here’s how it works step by step.
The process begins with gentle liposuction to collect fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This step provides the material for the transfer and also creates subtle contouring benefits in the donor site.
Once removed, the fat is carefully processed to separate healthy fat cells from fluids and impurities. This ensures that only the best-quality cells are prepared for reinjection.
The purified fat is then precisely injected into targeted areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, jawline, or under-eye hollows.
Fat transfer can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as eyelid surgery, facelift, or skin resurfacing. Many patients appreciate the opportunity to address multiple concerns in a single plan.
Downtime is generally minimal. You may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, but most patients return to work and social activities within a week. Because the fat is your own, the body adapts quickly.
