Female Fat Transplant
in New York City
Depressions on the face or body can be corrected with your own fat, donated from places on your body with excess. Natural aging of the face involves the loss of fat, which causes wrinkles and sunken temples, hallow cheeks, deeper frown and smile lines, thinner lips and a smaller chin. New York plastic surgeon, Dr. George Lefkovits, M.D. uses fat transplantation surgery to correct these effects of aging.
Fat transplantation surgery uses the fat removed from the patients buttocks, abdomen or thighs and injects it into the face.
The advantage of this procedure is that the body typically provides an ample supply of fat. However, the disadvantages of this procedure are that it is temporary and requires repeated injections.
This operation is done under local anesthesia during which a very tiny incision is made in the donor site, usually the abdomen. The fat is then centrifuged and re-injected through a fine needle. Before the procedure, you will need to massage the areas injected with your fingers several times a day. You will be able to return to work almost immediately. Since the fat grafted is your own fat, there is no risk of rejection and no possible allergic reaction. This procedure is mainly used to produce a more youthful look by re-contouring the face.

Lips and cheeks are the most popular sites for fat transplantation. This procedure is very safe and there are almost no side effects. Fat transplantation is improving as techniques are being refined.
