FAQ

Fat Grafting Training FAQ for Dentists

Common questions about fat grafting training for dentists.

Scope of practice for dentists performing fat grafting varies by state. Many states allow dentists to perform facial fat grafting within the head and neck region as part of their dental practice, particularly for perioral rejuvenation and procedures that complement dental treatments. You should verify your specific state dental board regulations before offering these services. AAOPM can provide guidance on state-specific requirements.
Fat grafting allows dentists to address perioral aging, lip augmentation, nasolabial fold correction, and facial volume loss that often accompanies dental conditions and treatments. It provides a natural complement to dental restorations, smile makeovers, and full-mouth reconstructions. Patients seeking comprehensive aesthetic improvement appreciate the convenience of addressing both dental and facial concerns with their dentist.
Depending on state regulations, dentists may perform fat grafting for lip augmentation, perioral lines (smoker's lines), nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin augmentation, and other areas within the head and neck region related to dental aesthetics. The perioral region is particularly well-suited for dentists given your expertise in this anatomical area.
Our Autologous Fat Grafting Training Course is completed in 1 day. You'll receive your Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. The course covers fat harvesting, processing, and reinjection techniques so you can begin offering these services to patients (where permitted by your state dental board).
Facial fat grafting procedures typically range from $2,500-$5,000+. When combined with comprehensive smile makeovers and dental treatments, fat grafting can significantly increase case acceptance and practice revenue. Fat grafting offers excellent profit margins since the patient's own fat is used rather than expensive synthetic fillers.
