What Our Happy Patients Say About Us
What Is Fat Grafting?
As you get older, your face loses some of its fat. Your cheeks can look flat, your temples can look hollow, and your jawline can look less sharp. Fat grafting puts some of that volume back with your own tissue, not a man-made filler. You may also see it called lipofilling.
Dr Tanov takes a small amount of fat from your outer thighs or tummy under local anaesthetic. The fat is filtered, then placed in small amounts where your face needs it. Because the fat is your own, the risk of an allergic reaction to it is very low. Our fat grafting London plans can treat more than one area in one visit.
Who Is Facial Fat Transfer in London For?
Facial fat transfer London patients often come to us with flat cheeks or hollow temples. It may suit you if you:
Fat can also soften hollows under the eyes. Read our guide to fat grafting under the eyes. It can also add soft volume to thin lips, as our fat grafting for lips guide explains.
Fat transfer will not lift loose skin like a facelift. It also will not fix lines caused by muscle movement.

How Is Microfat and Nanofat Transfer in London Done?
Dr Tanov uses two types of fat from one harvest. Microfat is small pieces of fat. With microfat transfer, London patients can restore shape to the cheeks, temples, jawline, and chin. Nanofat is fat that is filtered much more finely. It goes closer to the surface to help skin quality, for example under the eyes or on the neck.
Your fat is prepared in LipoCube Nano, a closed, sterile, single-use system. It turns your fat into milli-, micro-, and nano-fat for each depth. So if you have searched for microfat and nanofat transfer London clinics offer, this is the method. You may also see nanofat transfer called nanografting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does fat transfer in London involve?
You have a consultation first. On the day, we take fat from your thighs or tummy under local anaesthetic, filter it, and place it in your face. It takes 2 to 4 hours, and you go home the same day.
Who is facial fat grafting in London for?
It suits healthy adults with facial volume loss. Nanofat can be used from age 18 for skin quality concerns, such as dark circles or acne scars. Microfat helps deeper hollows, such as flat cheeks or hollow temples.
How much does fat transfer cost in London?
Fat transfer starts at £3,500 for one full-face treatment. Your final price is confirmed at your consultation.
How do microfat and nanofat differ?
Microfat restores volume and shape. Nanofat is filtered more finely and placed closer to the surface to improve skin quality.
How long do the results last?
You see your results in 1 to 3 months. About 50 to 70% of the fat usually remains, and what does remain can last many years. Smoking and blood supply can affect this.
Will I still need filler or anti-wrinkle injections?
Sometimes. A little filler a few weeks later can help symmetry. Lines caused by muscle movement still need anti-wrinkle injections.
