Restore Volume Naturally—Using Your Own Body

Fat Transfer in Juno Beach, FL

As we age, volume loss in the face and body can create a tired or hollow appearance. Fat transfer—also called fat grafting—is a sophisticated procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore volume, soften contours, and enhance natural beauty. At Perfect Skin Dermatology, Dr. Susan Schroeder combines surgical precision with an artistic eye to deliver subtle, elegant results that look and feel entirely your own.

Whether you're looking to rejuvenate your face, enhance your lips, or correct volume loss from weight fluctuations, fat transfer offers a long-lasting and biocompatible solution.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is a two-part procedure that involves:

  • Harvesting fat from an area like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using gentle tumescent liposuction.


  • Purifying and reinjecting the fat into areas that need volume restoration—such as the cheeks, lips, under-eye hollows, or hands.

Unlike synthetic fillers, fat transfer uses your own tissue, making it ideal for patients who prefer natural, non-allergenic solutions and longer-lasting outcomes.

Benefits of Fat Transfer

  • Restores volume with your own living fat cells
  • Smooths fine lines, deep folds, and facial creases
  • Enhances lips, cheeks, temples, and jawline
  • Improves hollowed areas under the eyes or around the mouth
  • Corrects volume loss from aging or weight loss
  • Can rejuvenate the hands or other body areas
  • Minimal downtime with long-lasting results

Fat transfer can also be combined with other procedures such as CO₂ resurfacing, microneedling, or PRP for enhanced rejuvenation.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Mid-face (cheeks and under-eyes)
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Temples and forehead
  • Lips (for natural fullness)
  • Chin and jawline
  • Hands

What to Expect

Consultation

Dr. Schroeder will assess your goals and determine which donor and treatment areas are ideal for your unique anatomy and aesthetic vision.


Procedure

Performed in-office under local anesthesia. Small amounts of fat are gently removed, purified, and reinjected using micro-cannulas for precise placement and smooth contours.


Recovery

  • Mild swelling and bruising expected for a few days
  • Most patients resume normal activities within a week
  • Results improve over several weeks as the transferred fat integrates

While some fat is naturally reabsorbed, 60–80% typically remains long-term, making this a lasting and natural rejuvenation option.
