About this episode

This episode features Dr. Monica Kieu discussing facial fat grafting and its rising popularity.

In this episode of GlowLab, I sit down with board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Monica Kieu to dive into a procedure that's rapidly rising in popularity: facial fat grafting (fat transfer). Dr. Kieu breaks down exactly how fat is harvested from your own body, processed, and reinjected into the face to restore volume, smooth lines, and create a more youthful, natural result — without implants or fillers. We also discuss why the popularity of GLP-1 medication is driving the increase in fat grafting. FOLLOW DR.
