Fat Grafting in South Florida
Your own fat. Extraordinary results.
One of the most effective ways to fill laugh lines, crow's feet, and other facial creases is using your own fat, in a technique called fat grafting, or fat injection.
Dr. Humberto Palladino of South Florida is able to skillfully extract fat from another area of your body and re-inject it into your facial features that need healthy volume. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting.
Unlike synthetic fillers, fat grafting uses only what your body already produces, which makes it one of the most biocompatible approaches to facial rejuvenation available. Dr. Palladino treats every case as a question of balance: how much volume, and exactly where.
All surgery carries individual risks. Candidacy, realistic expectations, and your personalised plan are determined during a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Palladino.
Is fat grafting right for you?
Your questions, answered
Fat injections suit patients who want lasting volume restoration with no synthetic material involved.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have noticeable facial volume loss, hollow cheeks, or deep creases
- Want to soften laugh lines, crow's feet, or other facial wrinkles
- Have a sufficient amount of "donor fat" in another area of the body (the abdomen or thighs, for example) to fill in the lines and wrinkles of the face
- Prefer a natural, long-lasting result over repeated filler injections
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
A note on donor fat:
If you do not have enough donor fat, you may need to gain some weight prior to treatment. The details can be assessed during a personal consultation with Dr. Palladino at his practice. He will walk you through his approach, assess what your face needs, and explain how to prepare for treatment.

Precision in every step
Fat Extraction
Fat injections are performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. Palladino first extracts fat from a donor area of your body using liposuction techniques. Once it is extracted, the fat is cleansed, purified, and prepared for reinjection.
Artful Reinjection
Dr. Palladino then injects the purified fat into the areas of your face that need healthy volume and contours. He can use fat injections to fill depressions in your skin, revise scars, and revive the vitality of your hands or face. Every case is approached with an eye for balance.
As with all surgical procedures, individual results vary. Candidacy and your personalised plan are discussed at consultation.

Recovery
A gentle return to yourself

First two weeks
It is advised that you avoid putting any pressure on the treatment areas, both the donor site and your face, as they heal. Limit strenuous activity during this early period.
Follow-up & monitoring
Dr. Palladino will follow up with you to ensure your healing is progressing smoothly. Results develop as swelling subsides; long-lasting volume restoration becomes visible over the following weeks.

Fat injections, answered
You are likely a good candidate for fat injections if you have a sufficient amount of "donor fat" in another area of your body (the abdomen or thighs, for example) to fill in the lines and wrinkles of your face. If you do not have enough donor fat, you may need to gain some weight prior to treatment. Dr. Palladino will assess your unique needs and explain how to prepare for treatment during a personal consultation.
Fat injections are better tolerated than other fillers because they are completely natural: the material used is your own body's fat, not a synthetic substance. This means the risk of complications is low, and the results tend to be longer-lasting than traditional filler treatments. The trade-off is that fat grafting is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia, whereas synthetic fillers are typically non-surgical in-office treatments.
Dr. Palladino can use fat injections to fill laugh lines, crow's feet, and other facial creases; to fill depressions in the skin; to revise scars; and to revive the vitality of the hands or face. Each case is approached individually, and your consultation will clarify which areas can benefit most from fat grafting given your specific goals and anatomy.
Your recovery should be quick, with minimal swelling and bruising. It is advised that you avoid putting any pressure on the treatment areas, both the donor site and your face, as they heal. Dr. Palladino will follow up with you to ensure your healing is progressing smoothly. Most patients find fat injections are well-tolerated because the material used is completely natural.
Fat injections produce results that are natural-looking and long-lasting. Because the transferred fat integrates with your body's own tissue, results can be durable, though individual outcomes vary. Dr. Palladino will discuss realistic expectations specific to your case during your consultation.
The price for fat injections to the face starts at $1,500 and increases depending on the number of areas to be treated. Your anticipated investment will be provided after your detailed one-on-one consultation with Dr. Palladino. Financing options are available; speak with our team for details.
