Rejuvenate Your Natural Beauty With Fat Transfer to the Face 

As a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in New York City, I take pride in offering transformative procedures like fat transfer to the face. This approach provides a natural-looking and lasting solution for facial contouring and rejuvenation. With years of experience, I am committed to delivering results that enhance your natural beauty while meeting your personal aesthetic goals. 

What Is Fat Transfer to the Face? 

Fat transfer to the face, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that restores volume and contours to your face using your own fat. During the process, I carefully harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and strategically inject it into specific facial areas. This dual-benefit procedure not only improves facial aesthetics but also sculpts the donor sites, achieving a comprehensive transformation. 

“Fat transfer is a natural and effective way to restore youthful volume and rejuvenate your appearance.” – Dr. Thomas P. Sterry

Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer 

• Natural-Looking and Long-lasting Results: Since I use your body’s own fat, the results seamlessly blend with your natural contours. 
• Minimally Invasive Alternative: Fat transfer offers a more natural option compared to synthetic fillers, with fewer risks of allergic reactions. 
• Rejuvenates Facial Volume: This procedure effectively addresses age-related volume loss in areas like the cheeks, lips, and under eye regions. 
• Skin Quality Improvement: The regenerative properties of fat can improve skin texture and tone. 
• Dual Benefit: The procedure combines facial rejuvenation with body contouring by removing unwanted fat from other areas. 

Who Is a Candidate for Facial Fat Transfer? 

As a specialist, I assess your suitability for this procedure during a personalized consultation. Fat grafting is ideal for: 

• Women aged 20 to 70 who seek natural-looking, subtle enhancements. 
• Individuals experiencing volume loss due to aging or weight changes. 
• Patients who prefer an alternative to synthetic fillers or facial implants. 
• Those with sufficient fat deposits in donor areas. 

The Procedure: What To Expect 

Consultation 

• During our initial meeting, I will carefully evaluate your facial structure and discuss your desired outcomes. 
• Together, we will develop a customized treatment plan to align with your unique aesthetic goals. 

Step-by-Step Procedure 

1. Fat Harvesting: I gently extract fat from donor areas using advanced liposuction techniques. This ensures minimal invasiveness while preserving fat cell integrity. 
2. Fat Purification: The harvested fat undergoes a meticulous purification process to isolate high-quality cells for transfer. This step enhances the longevity of the results. 
3. Precise Injection: With precision and artistry, I inject the purified fat into targeted facial areas, such as the cheeks, temples, or lips, ensuring balanced and natural results. 

“My goal is to help each patient look like the best version of themselves, never overdone.” – Dr. Thomas P. Sterry

Regional Practices and Trends in Fat Transfer to the Face 

Here in New York City, patients prioritize achieving natural and understated results. My approach caters to this trend by emphasizing subtle enhancements that harmonize with your lifestyle and professional commitments. The added benefit of body contouring during fat harvesting makes this procedure particularly appealing to patients in this region. 

Tailored Advice for Different Patient Demographics 

For Younger Patients (20s to 30s) 

• I often focus on subtle enhancements, such as lip augmentation or cheek contouring, to maintain youthful volume and address genetic concerns like under eye hollows. 

For Middle-Aged Patients (40s to 50s) 

• This age group benefits from addressing age-related volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Complementary procedures like mini facelifts may further enhance results. 

For Older Patients (60s and beyond) 

• Restoring overall facial harmony through volume enhancement is key. This is often combined with skin tightening treatments to improve elasticity and texture. 

Results and Longevity 

Fat transfer to the face offers natural-looking results that can last for years. Unlike synthetic fillers, which may require frequent touch-ups, this approach provides a more enduring solution. My meticulous technique ensures optimal fat survival, resulting in a high level of patient satisfaction. 

“By using your own fat, we create results that feel and look incredibly natural, ensuring long-term satisfaction.” – Dr. Thomas P. Sterry
