What is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting, or facial fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore volume and contour to areas of the face that have become hollow or appear gaunt or sunken due to aging or other factors. During the procedure, Dr. Singh harvests fat from the patient’s body, typically from the thighs or abdomen, meticulously transferring the fat cells to specific face areas that need rejuvenation. Common areas treated include the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under the eyes, as well as smooth wrinkles and fine lines. This natural enhancement improves facial aesthetics and offers a more lasting solution to facial volume restoration than can be achieved with synthetic dermal fillers.

What Does Facial Fat Grafting Do?

Facial fat grafting in NYC with Dr. Singh addresses a variety of aging concerns and aesthetic goals, providing the following benefits:

Restores Lost Volume

It replenishes volume in the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and temples, resulting in a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Smooth Wrinkles and Fine Lines

By filling in deeper wrinkles and fine lines with natural fat cells, fat transfer softens overall facial expression, reducing the visible signs of aging.

Enhances Contours

The procedure enhances the natural contours of the face, including the jawline and cheekbones, for a more defined and balanced appearance.

Natural, Lasting Results

Since the procedure uses the patient’s own fat, the results are natural-looking and long-lasting, without the need for regular injections of dermal fillers.

What is the Procedure?

Dr. Mansher Singh approaches facial fat grafting in NYC with precision and care, ensuring that each procedure is performed with ultimate precision and care. Here’s how the procedure is typically performed:

Consultation

The process begins with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Singh evaluates your facial structure, discusses their goals, and identifies the areas where fat will be harvested and re-injected.

Fat Harvesting

Dr. Singh uses liposuction to gently extract fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs during the procedure. The harvested fat is then purified and processed using advanced techniques to prepare it for transfer.

Fat Transfer

Dr. Singh carefully injects the processed fat into the targeted areas of the face that require volume restoration. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, under-eye regions, lips, and nasolabial folds. Dr. Singh’s expertise ensures that the fat is evenly distributed for a balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Anesthesia

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, though Dr. Singh also offers intravenous sedation depending on the patient’s preference and the extent of the procedure.

First Week: Swelling and bruising begin to diminish significantly. Most patients can return to work and resume light activities within a week.
Weeks 2-4: Continued improvement is observed as most swelling subsides, and the fat grafts begin to integrate with the facial tissues.
Months 1-3: Final results become more apparent as the fat settles and blends naturally with the existing facial contours.
