At the Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, VA, we know summer is a time when you want to look and feel your best, whether you’re reconnecting with friends, traveling, or simply enjoying the sunshine. If you’ve noticed areas of lost facial volume or want a refreshed, youthful appearance, facial fat transfer offers a natural, lasting solution that’s as unique as you are.
Fat transfer, also called autologous fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own body’s fat to restore volume and smoothness to areas like the cheeks, lips, and eyelids. Dr. Justin Cohen gently removes a small amount of fat from a donor area, often the abdomen or thighs, purifies it, and then carefully injects it into the face. The result is a subtle, natural enhancement that rejuvenates your features.
Summer brings more opportunities for gatherings, photos, and new experiences. Many of our patients find this season is the perfect time to invest in themselves, so they can step out with renewed confidence. Fat transfer is a great option because it delivers results that look and feel completely natural, allowing you to enjoy your summer with a refreshed, radiant look.
After your procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising in both the donor and treated areas. Most patients return to light activities within a week, and more strenuous activities can be resumed after about two weeks. The results are long-lasting—because your own fat cells are used, the enhancement feels completely natural and endures for years to come. Dr. Cohen and our team will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions and support throughout your recovery.
What truly sets the Cohen Clinic apart is our commitment to personalized, compassionate care. Dr. Cohen takes the time to listen to your concerns and understand your goals, offering honest recommendations and a conservative approach that puts your well-being first. Our patients consistently share how much they appreciate our supportive staff, our dedication to natural-looking results, and the way we make every step of the process comfortable and reassuring.
If you’re considering facial fat transfer this summer, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cohen and discover how this versatile procedure can help you restore your glow, your way. At the Cohen Clinic, your confidence and satisfaction are always our top priorities.
