What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
With numerous methods that rejuvenate the face's shape and volume, facial fat grafting is becoming increasingly favored for its ability to produce natural-looking improvements and long-lasting benefits. Aging often leads to noticeable volume loss, particularly around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. Facial fat grafting addresses these common aging signs by restoring fullness, thereby softening lines, wrinkles, and creases across the face using your own fat. This technique involves harvesting excess fat from your body via liposuction, which Dr. Nicholas Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon, skillfully purifies and injects into specific facial areas to achieve aesthetically pleasing, enduring results. Opting for facial fat grafting not only enhances your facial appearance but also contours your body. Reach out to Howland Plastic Surgery in Draper, UT to book a consultation with our experienced surgical team.
How Does Facial Fat Grafting Work?
Facial fat grafting involves a two-phase process, focusing on the extraction and subsequent injection of fat. Since the procedure requires only a minimal amount of fat to be both extracted and transplanted, Dr. Howland typically opts for local or twilight sedation. The process initiates with Dr. Howland employing liposuction to harvest fat from areas, such as your hips, flanks, or abdomen. Following extraction, the fat undergoes purification before it's ready to be injected. Utilizing a variety of techniques and injection angles, Dr. Howland ensures the fat integrates optimally with your skin, enhancing smoothness. Based on your personalized treatment strategy, fat is meticulously added to areas, like your lips, cheeks, and beneath your eyes, not only to add volume but also to diminish the appearance of lines and depressions on the face.
What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?
Facial fat grafting is a revolutionary approach for a more youthful appearance with the use of natural body resources.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
