Nano fat grafting is the next step beyond traditional fat transfer. Instead of using fat to add volume, the fat is processed into its finest form, rich in regenerative stem cells, and used to improve the skin itself. Dr. Vasu uses it for under-eye dark circles, acne scars, and overall skin quality, giving you a longer-lasting result than fillers can offer, using your own tissue.
2 to 4 hours
General or local with sedation
2 to 3 weeks
Long-lasting, often 10 years or more
Unlike traditional fat grafting, which replaces volume, nano fat is used to improve the skin itself, its quality, its texture, its pigment. It is injected or applied superficially in delicate areas like the under-eyes, on acne-scarred skin, or layered after microneedling treatments. The stem cells stimulate the skin to rebuild from within.
That regenerative action is what makes nano fat different from synthetic dermal fillers, which only add volume temporarily. Nano fat addresses the underlying skin quality and lasts much longer.
Fat grafting comes in different forms, chosen by the goal of the treatment. Most patients confuse them. Here is the honest difference:
Both are forms of fat grafting from the same donor area. The difference is how the fat is processed and what it is used for.
Nano fat is not always used alone. Dr Vasu often pairs it with other aesthetic treatments to enhance the result
Dr. Vasu uses nano fat grafting for three main concerns, often where other treatments have limited options:
One of the most common concerns with the fewest reliable treatments. Nano fat works in two ways at once: the stem cells help regulate pigment to lighten the skin tone, and the small volume corrects the natural hollowing of the tear trough that comes with age. Visible improvement can be seen with as few as two sessions.
Nano fat helps rebuild tissue inside a depressed scar, using the regenerative stem cells to improve texture and reduce the appearance of the scar. It works as a ‘regulating agent’ for the skin.
Used to improve general skin quality, particularly in delicate areas where surgery is not appropriate. Often combined with microneedling or Morpheus radiofrequency treatments to enhance the result.
The procedure is performed in a single session, usually under local anaesthesia with sedation:
Because the volume placed is small and the procedure is delicate, downtime is much shorter than traditional fat grafting.
Mild bruising and swelling at the treated area, particularly under the eyes if that is the focus. Easily covered with light makeup once the early swelling settles.
Most visible signs settle. Most patients return to work within a few days.
the regenerative effect begins to show. Pigment improvement under the eyes, smoother skin texture, gradual improvement in scar appearance.
builds progressively over 3 to 6 months as the stem cells continue to act. For under-eye treatment, a second session is sometimes recommended for best results.
Nano fat is a relatively new tool in aesthetic medicine, and the result depends entirely on how the fat is processed and how it is delivered. Done well, the stem cells survive and act. Done poorly, the effect is no better than a temporary filler. Dr. Vasu applies the same micro-droplet, layered delivery principles he uses in body fat grafting, adapted for the delicate areas of the face.
Performed in a fully accredited tertiary care hospital with full anaesthesia support, sterile theatres, and advanced monitoring. The safety infrastructure that surgery of this length and depth calls for.
Performed personally by Dr. Vasu, with plastic surgery technique applied to every lift, deep-layer repositioning, hidden incisions, and the conservative judgement that produces a natural result, refined over 30 years.
Dr. Rajesh Vasu has 30+ years of clinical experience and 5,000+ procedures performed. He is a member of ISAPS, internationally trained in aesthetic surgery at one of Europe’s most respected institutes.
Nano fat grafting cost depends on the area treated, the number of sessions planned, and whether it is combined with treatments like microneedling or Morpheus. Dr. Vasu gives you a full written treatment plan with the cost broken down before anything is scheduled. No hidden charges.
For NRI and international patients, this is a procedure where Indian expertise meets international quality at a fraction of the cost of comparable treatments abroad.

Dermal fillers add volume temporarily and need to be repeated every 6 to 18 months. Nano fat uses your own cells to regenerate the skin from within, addressing the underlying issue rather than just covering it. The result lasts much longer, and there is no foreign material involved.
Many patients see meaningful improvement in just 2 sessions. The exact number depends on the depth of pigmentation and how much volume correction is needed.
Yes, in many cases. The regenerative stem cells help regulate the pigment in the skin, which is why nano fat is one of the few treatments with a real effect on the colour, not just the shadow caused by hollowing.
Yes. Nano fat helps rebuild the depressed area of an acne scar and improves the texture of the surrounding skin. It works particularly well for atrophic (depressed) scars and is often combined with microneedling.
Local anaesthesia with sedation makes the procedure comfortable. There is mild soreness at the donor site for a couple of days, and brief bruising at the treated area.
Most patients return to normal activity in 3 to 5 days. Visible bruising settles in about a week. Makeup can usually be applied within a few days.
Longer than fillers, often years. The exact duration depends on the area and your skin. A maintenance session every few years is sometimes considered.
Yes, and it often is. Dr. Vasu combines nano fat with microneedling so the stem cells can penetrate deeply, or with Morpheus radiofrequency for combined skin tightening and rejuvenation.
If you have been considering fillers for under-eye dark circles or are looking for a real treatment for acne scars, nano fat grafting may be a longer-lasting, more natural option. A 15 to 20 minuteconsultation with Dr. Vasu is the simplest place to start.
