Nanofat is a breakthrough in regenerative aesthetics that harnesses the power of your own fat stem cells to rejuvenate skin. Dr. Maan at Maan Plastic Surgery offers this advanced treatment to improve fine lines, dark circles, scars, and skin texture while stimulating collagen production. The goal? A naturally refreshed, youthful look with smoother and more radiant skin.
Boost skin quality with highly refined fat
Nanofat transfer is a fat grafting technique that refines harvested fat into a liquid rich in stem cells and growth factors. Unlike traditional fat grafting, nanofat is processed into a smooth consistency, allowing for precise application in delicate areas. This treatment enhances skin quality, stimulates collagen production, and promotes tissue regeneration. Commonly used to improve dark circles, fine lines, scars, and overall skin texture, nanofat transfer helps restore a youthful, refreshed appearance while supporting natural skin repair. It can also be combined with a facelift and other surgical procedures, such as structural fat grafting or blepharoplasty, for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Nanofat vs. PRF: Why Nanofat is the Superior Choice
Nanofat and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are both regenerative treatments used for skin rejuvenation, but Nanofat offers distinct advantages. While PRF relies on growth factors derived from blood to stimulate healing, Nanofat harnesses the power of adipose-derived stem cells and regenerative factors from purified fat. This makes Nanofat a more potent and long-lasting solution for skin regeneration, improving collagen production, texture, and elasticity. Unlike PRF, which has a shorter lifespan and requires multiple sessions for optimal results, Nanofat delivers sustained improvements with fewer treatments. Additionally, Nanofat is a superior replacement because it not only rejuvenates but also restores volume loss, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking natural, long-term enhancement. Dr. Maan offers this advanced technique to achieve youthful, radiant skin with precision and efficacy.

Your nanofat transfer session
Your nanofat transfer begins with Dr. Maan performing a minimally invasive liposuction to harvest a small amount of fat from a donor site, typically the abdomen, flanks, or inner thighs. This fat is then processed through emulsification and filtration using specialized devices to break down fat clusters into a fine, liquid consistency. The result is a purified, stem-cell-rich solution free of mature fat cells, making it ideal for improving skin quality rather than adding volume.
Once prepared, Dr. Maan injects the nanofat into targeted areas using fine cannulas or needles, ensuring precise placement within the superficial dermis or subdermal layers. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for comfort. Nanofat is deposited in microdroplets to maximize integration and regenerative effects. Over the following months, stem cells stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin texture, elasticity, and radiance.
Your journey to recovery: side effects & downtime
After your nanofat transfer, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in both the donor and treatment areas. These effects are normal and typically subside within a few days. Since nanofat is injected using fine cannulas, there is minimal trauma to the skin, reducing the likelihood of prolonged discomfort. Dr. Maan recommends avoiding strenuous activities, excessive facial movement, and direct sun exposure for the first few days to support optimal healing.
Most patients resume normal daily activities within 3 to 7 days, depending on the extent of treatment and individual healing. While initial improvements in skin texture and tone may be noticeable within weeks, full results develop over 3 to 6 months as stem cells stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. Dr. Maan will monitor your progress and provide follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery.
