It’s time for you to FEEL GOOD about yourself!
Today it is possible to look Spectacular.
As we age, the face gradually loses volume, leading to hollow areas, deeper folds, and a tired appearance. Facial fat grafting in Cancun is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure designed to restore youthful contours naturally using your body’s own fat.
At Blue Medical, we specialize in advanced facial surgery in Cancun, offering personalized treatments focused on natural-looking and long-lasting results.
The advantage of the fat graft (autologous fat grafting) to be used as a facial filler is that there is no limit the amount we can use, since it is your own tissue, it does not cause rejection or allergic reactions, and another great advantage is that it is integrated back into your body. Allowing a long lasting effect and more natural look.
With the fat graft, a smooth facial rejuvenation is achieved since within this tissue we find stem cells that promote growth factors, as well as the stimulation of collagen, basically improving the appearance and elasticity of the skin with excellent results.
Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or facial fat transfer, is a procedure that removes fat from one area of the body and strategically injects it into areas of the face that have lost volume.

1 MONTH BEFORE SURGERY
The procedure for fat graft facial fillers consists of two parts. The first is the extraction as such of the fatty tissue and the second part is the application itself of the fatty graft in the desired facial areas. In total, the entire procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
The procedure begins by gently removing fat from donor areas such as:
Tiny incisions are made in discreet locations, and specialized cannulas are used to harvest fat while preserving healthy fat cells.
Anesthesia
The fat graft will be taken from the area designated as the donor, most of the cases correspond to the periumbilical region, on other occasions it can also be taken from the inner thigh. To obtain the fat graft, a special solution is applied with local anesthesia to the donor area to numb the area and begin the process of suctioning the fat. Generally, 10 to 30 ml of fat is obtained, depending on the needs of the patient.
Description of the Procedure, Incisions and Sutures
The incisions are minimally invasive, less than 3mm to obtain the fat graft. The suture used is very fine, thinner than a hair, and will be removed within 7 days after the procedure.
The harvested fat is carefully purified and processed to isolate healthy fat cells before reinjection.
This step is essential to maximize fat survival and optimize long-term results.
Using specialized microcannulas, the purified fat is strategically injected into targeted facial areas in small, precise amounts.
This meticulous layering technique allows the surgeon to:
If stitches are necessary, they are generally very small and may dissolve on their own or be removed within several days.
Right After Surgery
After the application of the fat graft has been completed, you will be given a prescription with antibiotic-type medications, analgesics and those that the surgeon deems necessary for your recovery. The date of your next appointment for review and withdrawal of points will be indicated.
After the procedure, the plastic surgeon will prescribe pain relievers and antibiotics. It is recommended that during the 6 to 8 weeks following the procedure you sleep on your back, avoid bending downwards, do not expose yourself to the sun, or stay in very hot places. Likewise, you should avoid exercising for a period of approximately 6 to 8 weeks. It is important that you follow the recommendations of your surgeon to obtain a good result.
