Regenerative Endoscopic Rejuvenation with Fat — Four Tiers
Volume and structure rebuilt from the inside out. Hand-processed fat, endoscopic lifting, and laser resurfacing — coordinated as a single anatomically-driven programme.
The RERF® Philosophy
Facial ageing is not a single process. It involves volume loss from multiple fat compartments, descent of soft tissue from its anatomical position, thinning of skin, and bony remodelling. Procedures that address only one element — fat transfer alone, or lifting alone — produce incomplete results that can look artificial or wear out prematurely.
RERF® integrates hand-processed autologous fat grafting with endoscopic structural lifting at the anatomical level appropriate to each patient's degree of aging. Fat is harvested from the patient, processed by hand (not by centrifuge) to maximise viability and preserve the regenerative stromal vascular fraction, and transferred in precise micro-aliquots to depleted zones. Where tissue has descended, it is elevated and resuspended endoscopically.
The result is a face that looks like itself — restored, not reconstructed. The four-tier structure ensures the procedure is precisely matched to what the anatomy requires.

Overnight
Not required
RERF-S is the foundation of the Radiant Eyes, Radiant Face® system. Fat is harvested from your preferred donor site, then processed by hand — not by centrifuge — into structured microfat for targeted volume restoration and regenerative nanofat rich in adipose-derived stem cells for skin quality transformation. Full-face Erbium laser resurfacing creates micro-channels for nanofat and PRP integration, amplifying the regenerative effect.
What's included:
- ✓Donor-site fat harvest (preferred donor site)
- ✓Hand-processed microfat — not centrifuge
- ✓Regenerative nanofat rich in adipose-derived stem cells
- ✓PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- ✓Full-face Erbium laser resurfacing
Ideal for
Patients with volume loss, skin quality concerns, and no significant brow ptosis or midface descent.
Limitations
Does not include endoscopic structural lifting. Patients with brow ptosis, midface descent, jowling, or neck laxity should consider RERF-U, RERF-M, or RERF-C.

RERF-U adds endoscopic deep-plane brow repositioning to the full RERF regenerative platform. Through hidden incisions behind the hairline, Dr. Gill uses endoscopic visualisation to release deep-plane attachments and reposition the brow to its natural, youthful position. Combined with donor-site fat transfer (microfat, nanofat, PRP) and laser resurfacing. Eyelid surgery incorporated as indicated.
What's included:
- ✓Endoscopic deep-plane brow repositioning
- ✓All RERF-S elements (microfat, nanofat, PRP, laser)
- ✓OFA-Bleph™ components as indicated
Ideal for
Patients with brow ptosis, periorbital volume loss, and skin quality concerns — without significant midface or lower facial descent.
Limitations
Addresses upper face and periorbital region. Does not include midface repositioning or neck/jawline work. Consider RERF-M or RERF-C for combined upper and lower face aging.

RERF-M is comprehensive upper and midface restoration. Through endoscopic deep-plane access, Dr. Gill repositions both the brow and midface soft tissue envelope — lifting the cheek pad, restoring malar projection, and reducing nasolabial fold depth at its structural source. Combined with the full regenerative platform and eyelid surgery as indicated. Overnight stay at YASC recommended.
What's included:
- ✓Endoscopic deep-plane midface repositioning
- ✓Endoscopic deep-plane brow repositioning
- ✓All RERF-S elements (microfat, nanofat, PRP, laser)
- ✓OFA-Bleph™ components as indicated
Ideal for
Patients with brow ptosis, midface descent (flattened cheeks, deepened nasolabial fold, hollowed lower eyelid), and volume loss — without significant lower facial or neck concerns.
Limitations
Does not address the lower face or neck. Patients with jowling, platysmal banding, or neck laxity should consider RERF-C.

RERF-C is the most comprehensive offering in the Radiant Eyes, Radiant Face® system — complete structural and regenerative restoration from brow to neck. Deep-plane face and neck lifting with endoscopic brow and midface repositioning, eyelid surgery as needed, donor-site fat harvest with hand-processed microfat and nanofat, PRP, and Erbium laser resurfacing. Every element performed in a single session.
What's included:
- ✓Deep-plane face and neck lift
- ✓Endoscopic brow repositioning
- ✓Endoscopic midface repositioning
- ✓All RERF-S elements (microfat, nanofat, PRP, laser)
- ✓OFA-Bleph™ components
- ✓Erbium laser resurfacing
Ideal for
Patients requiring comprehensive structural and regenerative restoration from brow to neck — including jowling, neck laxity, midface descent, brow ptosis, and periorbital aging — who want a single-session complete result.
Limitations
Full-day surgical procedure requiring appropriate medical clearance. Overnight stay at YASC recommended. Recovery is more involved than isolated procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes RERF® different from standard fat transfer?+
RERF® integrates hand-processed fat grafting with endoscopic structural lifting — addressing both volume depletion and anatomical descent simultaneously. Standard fat transfer adds volume; RERF® restores both volume and structure. The four-tier approach allows precise tailoring to the degree of aging present. Fat is processed by hand — not by centrifuge — preserving the stem-cell-rich stromal vascular fraction.
Where does the fat come from?+
Fat is harvested from your preferred donor site — typically the inner thighs, outer thighs, or abdomen — using gentle liposuction under the same anaesthetic. It is then hand-processed into microfat (for volume) and nanofat (for regenerative skin quality improvement) before transfer. No synthetic fillers. No foreign material. The patient's own tissue.
How long do results last?+
Transferred fat that integrates permanently produces lasting volume restoration. In most patients, 50–70% of grafted volume survives long-term. The structural lifting component is equally durable. Results typically remain excellent for 7–15 years before secondary refinement might be considered — longer than filler and comparable to the best facelift outcomes.
What is the difference between TIVA and RN sedation?+
RN sedation (used for RERF-S and shorter procedures) is nurse-administered twilight sedation — you are deeply relaxed but not under general anaesthetic. TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia, used for RERF-U, M, and C) is administered and monitored by a dedicated anesthesiologist throughout the procedure. TIVA is chosen for longer cases to ensure comfort and safety throughout a multi-hour operation.
Why is an overnight stay recommended for RERF-M and RERF-C?+
RERF-M and RERF-C are 6–10 hour procedures. Overnight recovery at YASC (Suite 316, 4789 Yonge Street) — a state-of-the-art Level 3 licensed surgical facility — allows dedicated nursing monitoring, pain management, and a comfortable, medically supervised transition out of anaesthesia. You remain in the same facility where your surgery was performed.
Which RERF® tier is right for me?+
The appropriate tier is determined at consultation after Dr. Gill assesses your anatomy, the degree of structural descent present, your skin quality, and your goals. Not every patient needs a comprehensive approach — over-treating is as problematic as under-treating. Some patients need only RERF-S; others benefit from the comprehensive restoration of RERF-C.
