Facial Fat Transfer NYC | Fat Transfer in New York

What is Facial Fat Transfer?

Facial fat transfer, also known as facial fat grafting, autologous fat transfer, fat injection, lipofilling, or facial fat injection, is the process in which your own fatty tissue is harvested via liposuction before it is then purified and injected into areas of your face that lack volume or that you would like to enhance. This process is a great way to address volume loss, one of the most common signs of aging. Facial fat transfer can help with hollowing around the eyes, a loss of cheek volume, sunken-in temples, and an overall change in your face shape resulting in an aged, tired appearance. If you’d like to learn more about what facial fat transfer can do for you, reach out to Albert Plastic Surgery at our NYC offices today. A member of our team will be happy to help you set up your initial consultation today.

Impressive Results. Minimal Downtime.

A minimally invasive procedure, facial fat grafting is the longest-lasting treatment and the most cost-effective option for the restoration of volume loss, rejuvenation, and enhancement. As we age, our bodies naturally lose some of the facial volume that keeps us looking youthful and fresh-faced. Facial fat transfer restores this lost volume and can help you smooth over the presence of fine lines and wrinkles.

Once your final results have taken shape, you’ll enjoy permanent enhancements that restore your facial volume naturally and safely. You’re an ideal candidate for this procedure if you’re interested in addressing a loss of subcutaneous fat in your face due to the aging process. Facial fat grafting can also help to address changes caused by trauma, such as scarring.

How the Procedure Works for You

Unless you will be undergoing another procedure under general anesthesia, your facial fat transfer procedure can be performed using local anesthesia alone. You can always opt for general anesthesia, but being awake during your procedure allows for active participation on your part, which is something our patients love about this particular procedure. A thin cannula will be used to liposuction fat from the donor sites of your choice, after which the fat is prepared for injection. After the procedure, you will be able to drive home on your own, as local anesthetic avoids the usual post-op symptoms associated with general anesthesia. The recovery takes a few days, with some swelling and bruising. There may be soreness at the donor site.
