Our fat transfer techniques
We use advanced surgical techniques to ensure that fat cells are handled as gently as possible, which is crucial for a long-lasting result. Your surgeon will tailor the approach to the specific area being treated.
Fat grafting under the eyes
Fat grafting is a scientifically proven method for addressing volume loss under the eyes or reducing the appearance of drooping eyelids. By gently depositing microfat into the tissue, a balanced volume is restored, which can be effectively combined with finely filtered nanofat to simultaneously improve skin quality and stimulate cell renewal. This results in a smoother surface texture and proportions that harmonise with the rest of your face. Each step is individually tailored to your anatomical conditions to ensure the highest level of medical safety.
Facial lipofilling
When treating the cheeks or chin, fat is harvested (often from the abdomen or thighs), purified and injected in small amounts into various layers of tissue. This creates a natural fullness and can also have a positive effect on the overall quality of the skin.
Combined procedures
For those who wish to add volume to other parts of the body, we also offer lipofilling for the breasts, a procedure in which the patient’s own fat is used to give the breasts a natural increase in volume or to correct asymmetries.
Gentle approach
Whether the aim is fat grafting under the eyes or a more extensive volume enhancement, our surgeons employ refined techniques that minimise tissue trauma. By using very fine needles or micro-needles for the injection, we work with the utmost care. A precise approach is absolutely crucial to reducing bleeding, minimising swelling and ensuring that the fat is integrated into exactly the right layer of tissue for a smooth and permanent result.

Working with living tissue demands the highest level of surgical skill. At The Faculty, you will meet plastic surgery specialists with extensive experience in both liposuction and fat injections.

Liposuction consultation
The first step is a consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. During the consultation, we will assess your suitability for fat harvesting and discuss which areas of the face are suitable for treatment. You will be given medical information about the risks, techniques and expected recovery time.
You will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your body.
Fat grafting
Step by step
We have a clear and reliable process, from your first visit right through to your final check-up, to ensure you feel fully prepared.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
You will meet with your plastic surgeon for a medical assessment. We will plan where the fat will be harvested from and carefully mark the areas of the face that are to be augmented.
Before your procedure
Preparing for a safe operation
You will be given clear instructions ahead of the day of your operation, including a ban on smoking and avoiding certain medicines. The evening before and on the morning of the operation, you should shower using antibacterial soap.
The day of the operation
Safe care at the clinic
The procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic for your comfort. First, a gentle liposuction is performed at the donor site. The fat is then centrifuged and purified before the surgeon injects the healthy fat cells into the face using fine needles.
After the operation
Awakening and initial rest
You will wake up in our recovery room. It is normal to experience swelling and bruising, both at the site where the fat was harvested and where it was injected. You will be given pain relief as needed and can usually go home the same day.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
Rest is important during the first few weeks. You should avoid pressing on the treated areas of your face to give the fat cells the best possible chance of establishing a new blood supply. Most people are ready to return to work after 1–2 weeks.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
We will schedule a follow-up appointment to check how the wound is healing after about a week. A final check-up will be carried out after approximately six months, when we will take photographs of the results and assess how the fat has settled.
Our specialists in fat grafting
At The Faculty, you will meet a hand-picked team of specialists in plastic surgery, several of whom are among the most experienced in Europe in advanced fat transfer techniques. Every procedure is performed by a surgeon with extensive expertise in both liposuction and aesthetic volume restoration, which forms the foundation of your medical safety. We combine technical precision with an eye for natural proportions to create a result that harmonises with your anatomy.
Who is eligible for the procedure?
To undergo the procedure, you must be over 18 years of age, in good general health and have sufficient body fat to allow the procedure to be carried out. During the consultation, a medical assessment of your physical condition will be carried out. Smoking significantly impairs blood circulation and thus the survival of fat cells; therefore, you must be completely smoke-free in the run-up to the operation.
Our clinics
At The Faculty, medical expertise meets a welcoming atmosphere. At Hangövägen 20, you will find our custom-built clinic, designed to meet strict clinical standards for hygiene and safety. For injection treatments and skincare, we welcome you to our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in Östermalm. Our practice is guided by a scientific approach and extensive experience, creating a safe and transparent treatment journey.
Payment guarantee and insurance
Choosing to undergo an aesthetic surgical procedure or an injection treatment is a personal decision, and at The Faculty, we value complete transparency by always providing a clear and itemized price quote during your consultation. For your peace of mind, you are covered by comprehensive patient insurance as well as an extended warranty period during the healing process. For those who wish, we also offer financial guidance regarding installment options—as a flexible choice entirely separate from the medical assessment.
Frequently asked questions about fat grafting
Here we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers about fat grafting
How much does facial fat grafting cost?
The cost of a facial fat transfer is 33,500 SEK. This covers the entire process, from liposuction to facial injections.
How long do the results of fat grafting last?
Once the fat has fully settled (which takes around six months), the results are permanent. However, your face will continue to age naturally, and the fat cells will respond to any future changes in your weight.
Is it possible to perform fat grafting under the eyes?
Yes, it’s a very common area to treat. By using microfat and nanofat, we can smooth out hollows and improve the skin texture under the eyes in a very natural way.
Will it hurt after the procedure?
Most people experience tenderness and swelling in the treated areas, similar to a severe bruise. You will be given prescription pain relief to help you manage the first few days of recovery.
Is there a high risk of unevenness?
By using micro-cannulas and injecting small amounts of fat at a time, the risk of unevenness is minimised. The surgeon’s experience and technique are crucial to achieving a smooth and aesthetically pleasing result.
When will the final result be available?
Due to the initial swelling, it takes a while before the actual volume becomes apparent. After about six months, it is possible to assess how much of the fat has become permanent.
What happens if I lose weight afterwards?
The transplanted fat cells behave just like fat in the rest of the body. If you lose a significant amount of weight, the volume in the treated areas may also decrease.
