Seeing fat grafting up close 👀—but what does it actually do?
Fat grafting is a natural, long-lasting option Dr. Vargas often uses to restore volume under the eyes. Instead of synthetic filler, this technique uses your own fat—gently harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, carefully processed and purified to isolate the healthiest fat cells, and then precisely placed to:
🤍 Soften hollowing
🤍 Reduce dark shadows
🤍 Smooth the under-eye contour
🤍 Create a refreshed (not puffy) look
Because it’s your own tissue, fat grafting integrates beautifully with the face and delivers results that look soft, balanced, and natural over time.
💉 Why not filler for everyone?
The under-eye area is extremely delicate and requires advanced anatomical expertise. When filler is poorly placed, it can lead to:
• Puffiness or unnatural fullness
• Migration
• The Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration)
• The need for dissolving before surgery
That’s why Dr. Vargas often prefers fat grafting—either as a standalone treatment or as an add-on during facelift procedures—for patients seeking more seamless, long-term rejuvenation.
