Nano Fat Grafting

Loss of skin quality and fine volume in areas like under the eyes, face, or lips can make the skin look dull, thin, or tired. Traditional fillers may not always improve skin texture or long-term quality.

This can leave the face looking fatigued, even when overall features are balanced. Many patients seek a treatment that improves skin health, not just volume.

Nano fat grafting uses highly purified fat rich in regenerative cells to improve skin quality and subtle volume. At WFY Plastic Surgery, nano fat is used to rejuvenate skin naturally using your own body tissue.

What the treatment includes

• Gentle fat harvesting from another body area

• Advanced processing to obtain nano fat rich in growth factors

• Precise injection into targeted facial areas

• Improvement in skin texture, glow, and fine lines

• Natural regeneration over time

• Follow-up care for optimal results 

Nano fat grafting improves skin quality from within, giving a healthier and more youthful appearance.

FAQs

1. What Areas Can Be Treated With Nano Fat?

Thin and delicate skin areas often do not respond well to regular fillers and may look uneven or artificial. Nano fat is specially suited for such areas because it improves skin quality rather than adding bulk. It is commonly used under the eyes to improve dark circles and fine crepey skin, around the mouth and eyes for fine lines, on the neck and chest for sun damage, on the hands to restore youthful texture, and on scars to improve skin depressions and unevenness.

A consultation with a plastic surgeon can help decide whether nano fat is suitable for the area you want to treat.

2. How Is the Nano Fat Procedure Performed?

Many patients worry that the procedure may be complex or invasive. Nano fat treatment is usually done under local anaesthesia and follows a simple three-step process. A small amount of fat is gently taken from an area like the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then carefully processed to convert it into a liquid rich in regenerative cells. The prepared nano fat is injected superficially into the skin using very fine instruments for smooth and even results.

A plastic surgeon can explain the procedure in detail during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

3. Does Nano Fat Treatment Hurt?

Fear of pain is common when fat transfer is involved. Since local anaesthesia is used, most patients do not feel pain during the procedure. After treatment, the donor area may feel sore like a mild bruise, and the treated skin may feel tight or tender. This discomfort is usually mild and manageable with simple pain relief.

Speaking with a plastic surgeon beforehand can help address pain concerns and comfort measures.

4. What Is the Recovery Time After Nano Fat Treatment?

People often hesitate because they expect long downtime. Recovery after nano fat treatment is usually quick. There may be mild swelling or bruising that settles over one to two weeks. Most patients return to work within a few days and resume light activities shortly after, with gradual improvement in comfort.

Your plastic surgeon will guide you on recovery timelines based on the areas treated.

5. When Will I See Results From Nano Fat?

Unlike fillers that give instant volume, nano fat works by improving skin health from within. Immediately after the procedure, swelling may be present. Over the next few weeks, the skin begins to look smoother and healthier as swelling reduces. The best results appear gradually over several months as collagen production increases and skin quality improves.

A plastic surgeon can help you understand the expected timeline for visible improvement.

6. How Long Do Nano Fat Results Last?

Many patients worry about how long the results will stay. Nano fat offers long-lasting improvement because it uses your own cells to repair and regenerate skin. While some of the injected fat may be absorbed in the early months, the remaining cells integrate naturally and continue to support skin quality for years. Normal ageing will still continue over time.

A consultation with a plastic surgeon can help set realistic expectations about long-term results.

7. Can Nano Fat Treat Dark Circles?

Dark circles often occur due to thin skin and visible blood vessels under the eyes, making them difficult to treat with creams alone. Nano fat improves this by thickening the skin, improving circulation, and adding a subtle natural layer that reduces the dark appearance. This approach often gives more natural and longer-lasting results compared to fillers for under-eye concerns.

A plastic surgeon can assess your under-eye area and advise if nano fat is the right option for you.

8. Are the Results Natural Looking?

Many people worry about treatments making the face look altered or artificial. Nano fat focuses on improving skin texture and quality rather than adding volume. Because it uses your own tissue and is injected superficially, the results look soft, natural, and well blended with your existing features.

Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon is key to achieving subtle and natural outcomes.

9. Are There Any Side Effects of Nano Fat Treatment?

Safety is a major concern with any aesthetic procedure. Since nano fat uses your own fat, there is no risk of allergy. Temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness are common and usually settle on their own. Because the fat is finely processed, the risk of lumps or irregularities is much lower than with traditional fat grafting.

A plastic surgeon can further explain risks and how they are minimised during treatment.

10. Am I a Good Candidate for Nano Fat?

Nano fat is ideal for people who want skin rejuvenation rather than volume enhancement. It works well for those with thin skin, fine lines, dark circles, or textural concerns. It may not be suitable for those looking for significant lifting or volume correction.

A detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon is the best way to determine whether nano fat treatment matches your goals
