Cosmetic Fat Transfers in Utah
One of the most exciting evolutions in cosmetic facial surgery over the last decade has been cosmetic fat transfers. A rapidly growing facial rejuvenating procedure, the process of cosmetic fat transfer can restore a much more youthful volume to the cheekbones, lower eyelid areas, temples, and basically any facial area.
Although not a perfect analogy, facial aging can be thought of as similar to a deflating balloon. Young faces are taut, both in the skin and also in the volume filling that skin. Younger faces have round, full cheeks, soft eyebrows and full temples. As we get older, we tend to deflate like a balloon and this has two main consequences on our appearance that make us look older. One, our faces and necks become saggy in a vertical sense, with the skin dropping downward from the constant pull of gravity. However, facial sag is only half of the reason we look older. Older faces also lose volume in the cheeks, mid-face, temples and around the lower eyes. Cosmetic Fat Transfers can naturally restore a more volume-appropriate youthful appearance.
Dr. Mobley has performing cosmetic fat transfer for about as long as he has been in practice since 2002. He has performed hundreds of cases, mostly for cosmetic purposes but occasionally using his techniques to help reconstruct the faces of gun shot victims, cancer survivors and victims of other traumas such as dog bites. No other surgeon brings the unique breadth of experience that Dr. Mobley will bring to your cosmetic fat transfer. Remember, Dr. Mobley performs 14 times more cosmetic fat transfers than the average plastic surgeon based on national data.
Several decades ago the surgical emphasis on facial rejuvenation was placed on pulling skin tighter. This often led to an unnatural wind-blown or overly tightened look. The widespread acceptance of cosmetic fat transfers has made it possible for surgeons to not only make the face look younger with tightening, but ALSO look younger by enhancing the face with fullness and natural rounding. The most popular areas tend to be the cheekbones, lower eyelids and temples.
Cosmetic fat injection transfers can be performed in the operating room setting, but because they are a minimally invasive procedure, they can also be performed in the office setting. For some patients, this provides them with excellent cosmetic rejuvenation without the added cost of being in the operating room.

SHOULD I CONSIDER COSMETIC FAT TRANSFER?
It is important for you to be in relatively good health and realistic as to what this procedure can and cannot do for you. If you are quite lean and athletic in build then you may not have enough fat to act as a donor material. Fortunately for those individuals, there are other excellent choices such as Cosmetic Injectables and Sculptra. Dr. Mobley will thoroughly discuss your options and help you determine the choices best for you at your consultation.
COMMON REASONS FOR A COSMETIC FAT TRANSFER:
- Bags and/or dark circles under your eyes
- Deep facial creases
- Hollow cheeks
- Sunken temples

Frequently Asked Questions
During cosmetic fat transfer, fat is extracted from one part of the body and injected into the face. One of the benefits of fat is that it is mostly considered a permanent filler. That means that unlike “gel” fillers it does not have to be regularly repeated at 6-12 month intervals. The fat is most often taken from the lower buttock or “love handle” area. The most common areas to inject fat are the cheeks and also the hollow areas under the eyes.
At Mobley MD, understanding the investment in your cosmetic surgery starts with our unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and transparent pricing. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Mobley delivers exceptional results through individualized care tailored specifically to your aesthetic goals.
Your cosmetic surgery cost includes three primary components: the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee (if required). The exact surgeon’s fee is determined during a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Mobley, where he'll perform a detailed medical evaluation, discuss your goals thoroughly, and often use advanced computerized imaging to create a precise surgical plan.
Dr. Mobley is nationally recognized as an expert in cosmetic fat transfer, performing significantly more of these procedures compared to average aesthetic plastic surgeons. His extensive experience ensures optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Cosmetic fat transfer procedures typically begin at around $4,500 & up for one site. Additional sites or complementary procedures may influence the total cost. While lower-priced options might be available elsewhere, choosing Mobley MD means selecting one of the most respected Facial Plastic Surgeons in the Intermountain West.
Following your consultation, you'll receive a clear and easy-to-understand quote tailored specifically to your surgical plan. Facility and anesthesia fees, if applicable, are time-based and may vary based on the actual duration of your procedure.

Cosmetic fat transfer is frequently done in the office and can have a reasonably quick recovery. Most patients will feel well enough to go back to work or school 1-4 days after the procedure. Each patient may swell and/or bruise differently and to varying amounts. To be safe, one could plan on most all bruising gone by 10-14 days after the procedure. Patients that are “quick healers” are often looking good 5-8 days after the injections.
Most patients report minimal post op pain. Most all patients are given prescription pain-killers and most patients really need and or use them for the first 1-4 days after the procedure.
Overall, fat is very predictable to give a nice cosmetic outcome. Rarely (< 5% of cases) small lumps are seen and in these few cases, they can be easily reduced with a small in office injection. Rare too, some people need a touch up of fat. This is less than 10% of patients and more common in patients that are very lean with low body weight.
