Restore skin quality with nanofat grafting, an advanced regenerative technique offered by Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki. Using refined fat rich in growth factors, this treatment improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, dark circles, and uneven pigmentation while enhancing tone, texture, and overall facial vitality for natural-looking rejuvenation and long-term skin health.
About Nanofat Grafting
What is nanofat grafting?
Nanofat grafting is a regenerative treatment that uses your own fat, processed into an ultra-refined liquid rich in growth factors and regenerative cells. Unlike traditional fat grafting, nanofat adds little to no volume. Instead, it is injected superficially to improve skin quality. Performed by Dr. Lisiecki, this technique helps rejuvenate thin, aged, and sun damaged skin by improving tone, texture, elasticity, and overall skin health in delicate areas like the face and under the eyes.
Nanofat grafting can correct the following:
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Dark circles and under-eye discoloration
- Acne scars
- Sun-damaged skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Early skin laxity
The benefits of nanofat grafting:
- Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
- Softens fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Enhances under-eye quality without adding too much volume
- Uses your own fat, reducing risk of allergic reactions
- Supports natural collagen production
- Treats acne scars and sun-damaged skin
- Delivers subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation
Dr. Lisiecki’s personalized nanofat grafting technique
Your nanofat grafting procedure starts with harvesting a small amount of fat from an area such as your abdomen or thigh using liposuction. You are numbed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. The fat is placed into a sterile system where it is mechanically filtered and emulsified. This process breaks the fat down into nanofat, a thin, liquid solution rich in regenerative cells and growth factors, without the fat cells responsible for volume.
Once the nanofat is prepared, Dr. Lisiecki injects it into the superficial layers of your skin using very fine cannulas or needles. You may feel light pressure, but pain is minimal. The nanofat works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and repair damaged skin tissue, especially in delicate areas like the under eyes, face, and scars.
Recovery after a nanofat grafting surgery
After nanofat grafting, you can expect mild swelling, redness, and tenderness in the donor area and treated skin. Small bruises are common, especially in delicate areas like under the eyes. These side effects usually improve within several days. You’ll be advised to keep the area clean, avoid strenuous activity, and sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling during the early recovery phase.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. While surface healing happens quickly, deeper skin regeneration takes time. Over the following weeks and months, your skin improves as collagen production increases and tissue repair continues. The results appear subtly, leading to smoother texture, healthier tone, and more resilient skin without sudden or artificial-looking changes.
Nanofat Grafting FAQs
How is nanofat grafting different from traditional fat grafting?
Traditional fat grafting aims to restore volume, while nanofat grafting focuses on skin quality. Nanofat is processed until it becomes a liquid rich in regenerative cells and growth factors, making it ideal for improving texture, tone, and elasticity rather than fullness and contour.
Where can nanofat be injected?
Nanofat is commonly used in delicate areas, such as the under eyes, face, and neck, as well as on areas with acne scars or sun damage. It is especially useful where skin is thin or crepey.
Does nanofat grafting add volume?
Nanofat adds little to no volume. Its main purpose is to improve skin health by stimulating collagen production, improving circulation, and supporting cellular repair.
When will I see the results?
Some improvement in skin quality may be noticeable within weeks, but results develop gradually over several months as collagen remodeling and tissue regeneration continue.
