As we age, the face loses volume, particularly in the periorbital area. This phenomenon, known as facial fat loss, is caused by the redistribution and reduction of adipose tissue. Fortunately, there are techniques available to fill these "hollows" and restore a youthful appearance.
In this context, autologous fat grafting (facial lipofilling) in Turkey offers an effective solution to regain a fuller, more balanced facial contour.
Facial lipofilling in Turkey typically costs between $1,900 and $2,800, depending on the areas treated, the volume of fat injected, and the technique used. This is 50 to 70% less than equivalent procedures in Gremany ($4,500-$8,000) or the United States ($7,000-$12,000).

Facial lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery technique that uses your own fat to restore volume to the face. It involves harvesting fat from an area of your body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and then reinjecting it into targeted areas of the face.
Once harvested, the fat is purified to retain only the healthiest cells. It is then injected with fine micro-cannulas into precise points on the face, such as the cheekbones, temples, nasolabial folds, or chin.
This method helps restore volume lost with aging, correct sagging, and smooth facial features. It also improves skin texture thanks to the stem cells naturally present in the fat.
Facial lipofilling is a natural, long-lasting, and well-tolerated solution because it uses your own tissues.
If you are considering facial lipofilling in Turkey, feel free to contact us for a personalized consultation.
In more than 90% of cases, facial lipofilling is performed for purely aesthetic purposes. It helps restore facial volume and naturally redefine contours. However, this technique can also be indicated for facial reconstruction, especially after trauma, surgery, congenital malformations, or certain diseases affecting the facial tissues.
Facial lipofilling may be considered if you have:
Lipofilling is also used in combination with other procedures such as facelift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty to refine and prolong the results.
As with any procedure, lipofilling is not recommended in certain cases. It is contraindicated if you have:
A prior medical evaluation is always necessary to confirm the indication, tailor the treatment plan, and ensure your safety.
Before undergoing facial lipofilling at one of Turquie Santé's partner clinics, several preparation steps are essential to ensure your safety and optimize the results.
First, a blood test will be prescribed prior to the procedure. The required tests will depend on the type of anesthesia used, local or general. If general anesthesia is planned, a mandatory consultation with the anesthesiologist must take place at least 48 hours before the operation.
On the day of the procedure, the instructions will vary based on the type of anesthesia. In the case of general anesthesia, you must fast strictly for at least 6 hours: no eating, no drinking, no chewing gum or candies, and absolutely no smoking. If local anesthesia is used, it is generally recommended to have a light meal at your usual time to avoid any discomfort.
Tobacco use is strongly discouraged. Smoking affects skin quality, delays healing, and compromises the success of the fat graft. It is therefore advised to reduce or, ideally, stop smoking at least one month before and one month after the lipofilling.
Right before the procedure, in your room, the surgeon will take time to review the goals discussed during the preoperative consultations. This is the moment to ask any last-minute questions, clarify your expectations, or express any concerns. The surgeon will then use a surgical marker to draw precise guidelines on your face to direct the technical steps in the operating room.
Facial lipofilling in Turkey is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient's own body fat to fill wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance the overall appearance of the face. Here are the key steps of the procedure:
Facial lipofilling offers a subtle yet remarkable transformation. By reinjecting your own fat, enriched with stem cells, this technique delivers both aesthetic and regenerative results.
In the first few days, despite swelling (edema) and possible bruising, an improvement in facial structure can already be seen. Typically:
What sets lipofilling apart from other techniques is its ability to improve not only volume but also skin quality. The injected fat contains stem cells that contribute to skin regeneration. This leads to:
Once the fat graft stabilizes, results can last for several years, as the fat cells that survive remain in place naturally. In most cases, one session is enough.
However, since skin aging continues over time, some patients choose to have a follow-up session after a few years to maintain their results.
If you wish to prolong the benefits without undergoing another surgery, lighter treatments can also be considered:
According to our plastic surgeons, this technique offers significant advantages over alternative solutions. Unlike resorbable injectable products such as hyaluronic acid, lipofilling provides a permanent effect. Your own fat integrates naturally and permanently into your tissues, giving your face a naturally enhanced appearance.
Because lipofilling uses your own fat, it eliminates any risk of allergic reactions or intolerance. Additionally, this technique stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more radiant skin.
The final results of facial lipofilling become visible after a few months, once the grafted fat cells have fully stabilized.
Don't hesitate to consult a qualified plastic surgeon to find out if facial lipofilling is the right solution for you.
Facial lipofilling is an autologous technique, meaning it uses your own fat to restore volume and rejuvenate facial features. This makes the procedure particularly safe, as there is no risk of rejection, unlike synthetic implants or donor grafts.
However, like any medical procedure, lipofilling is not without potential risks or complications, especially if poorly performed or if postoperative care is neglected.
After the procedure, some side effects are common but temporary:
In rare cases, complications may occur, particularly if the procedure is improperly performed or if postoperative instructions are not followed:
In some cases, the result may not fully meet the patient's expectations (lack of volume, irregularities, asymmetry…). If this happens, a touch-up or an additional session may be considered after a few months, once the tissues have stabilized.

Yes, you’ll still look like yourself, just more rejuvenated. Facial fat transfer doesn’t change your facial structure; it restores lost volume, smooths out hollow areas, and softens lines. Most patients say they look like a fresher, more rested version of themselves, often resembling how they looked 5 to 10 years ago.
Yes, that’s correct. After facial fat grafting, the results don’t appear overnight. It takes time for the transferred fat to settle and integrate naturally into your tissues. The transformation is progressive, most patients see subtle improvements unfold over several weeks or even months
There’s no specific best age for facial fat transfer. It depends on your goals, whether you want to restore lost volume or enhance natural contours. Many choose the procedure in their 30s or 40s to maintain a youthful look, but it’s more about facial harmony than age.
No, not when performed by a skilled surgeon. The goal is to restore natural volume, not to overfill. You can expect a softer, well-rested appearance with healthy contours, not a puffy or unnatural look.
Most patients stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days after facial fat transfer. This allows time for post-op checkups, proper recovery monitoring, and to ensure there are no early complications before traveling back home.
No, facial fat transfer leaves no visible scars. The procedure uses fine cannulas inserted through tiny puncture sites instead of large incisions. These marks heal quickly and are virtually invisible, unlike the scars from traditional surgical lifts.
In 2026, Dr. Safa Manav is widely recognized among the top plastic surgeons in Turkey. She is European board-certified and has received multiple international awards. Another leading expert is Dr. Bülent Cihantimur, known for over 20 years of experience and for developing innovative techniques like lipomodelling.
