Facial aging can often leave us feeling like our outer appearance no longer matches our youthful energy. For patients seeking elegant, long-lasting facial rejuvenation, Dr. Mark G. Albert, MD, FACS of Albert Plastic Surgery offers a transformative solution: facial fat transfer. As an award-winning, board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics, Dr. Albert brings an artist's eye and a surgeon's precision to every procedure, ensuring natural-looking volume restoration that enhances each patient's unique beauty.
In this blog, we’ll explore how facial fat transfer works, what makes it so appealing, and why Dr. Albert is regarded as one of NYC's most trusted experts in achieving stunning, natural-looking results.
What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer, or fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat to restore volume and smooth signs of aging. Fat is gently liposuctioned from donor areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and carefully injected into hollow or deflated facial areas. This addresses volume loss, softens wrinkles, and refreshes skin texture for a youthful look.
Unlike synthetic fillers, fat transfer offers permanent, natural-looking results that evolve with your body. Dr. Albert’s precise technique ensures enhancements that beautifully respect each patient’s facial balance.
Areas Transformed by Fat Grafting
Facial fat transfer can rejuvenate a wide range of concerns, including:
- Under eyes: Smooth tear trough hollows and reduce dark shadows.
- Cheeks and temples: Restore volume to sunken areas for a lifted, youthful contour.
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Soften deep creases around the mouth.
- Lips and laugh lines: Enhance lip fullness and refine smile lines.
- Chin and jawline: Improve definition and contour.
- Scars and acne pitting: Fill in depressions for smoother skin.
By using your own fat, Dr. Albert provides a biocompatible, natural approach to volume restoration that integrates seamlessly with your features.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
At Albert Plastic Surgery, facial fat grafting is typically done under local anesthesia for your comfort. After gentle liposuction, the purified fat is precisely injected into targeted areas, with Dr. Albert’s advanced methods ensuring excellent fat survival and lasting results. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days and recover smoothly, with final results—restored volume and skin rejuvenation—visible around three months later.
