Stem Cell Rich Fat Transfer

Stem cell–rich facial fat transfer is an advanced regenerative procedure designed to restore youthful volume using your body’s own natural tissue. At Clinic 5C, Dr. Cameron Chesnut uses a precise, artistry-led approach to soften facial volume loss, support natural contour, and enhance skin quality without creating an overfilled look.

What is a Stem Cell-Rich Fat Transfer?

A Stem Cell-Rich Fat Transfer is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that restores youthful volume using your body’s own natural tissue.

By carefully harvesting and refining fat rich in regenerative cells and growth factors, this treatment supports healthier, more radiant skin quality over time.

Unlike traditional fillers, transferred fat integrates naturally into the face for soft, seamless volume that moves and feels like your own tissue. Treatment is commonly used to rejuvenate the cheeks, under-eyes, temples, jawline, and areas where age-related hollowing or definition loss has occurred.

The goal is not to create an overfilled appearance, but to restore balance, harmony, and natural structure with elegant, long-lasting results.

Fat Transfer Results Designed To Look Natural

Stem Cell Rich Fat Transfer is designed to restore youthful structure without creating an overfilled or artificial appearance.

Because the treatment uses your body’s own tissue, results move and feel naturally within the face. Many patients also appreciate the long-term nature of fat transfer compared to temporary filler treatments.

As the transferred fat integrates with surrounding tissue, patients often notice softer facial contours, improved balance, and more natural-looking volume.

Benefits may include:

  • Softer, more youthful facial contours
  • Improved cheek and midface support
  • Reducd hollowing beneath the eyes and temples
  • Natural-looking volume that blends with facial anatomy
  • Long-lasting rejuvenation with regenerative benefits

Fat Transfer Recovery & Healing Timeline

1

First 72 Hours

Swelling, fullness, and mild firmness are expected as the body begins healing. Most patients rest and limit strenuous activity during this stage.
2

Week 1

Swelling and bruising begin improving. Facial contours may still appear fuller than the final result during early integration.
3

Week 2-4

The transferred fat continues establishing blood supply and softening into surrounding tissue. Results begin looking increasingly natural.
3

Long-Term

Once integrated, surviving fat cells behave like natural facial tissue, creating long-lasting volume and soft facial rejuvenation.
