Fat transfer injections are a common procedure in New York City that take fat from the stomach or hip and transfer it to other parts of the body. Fat injections are used to enhance areas of the body or face and can also remove scars. The procedure is long-lasting and safe when performed by an experienced cosmetic plastic surgeon. Patients most commonly request fat injection procedures for the face, hands and buttocks.
A drawn, tired look occurs when facial skin begins to sag and thin out. A cosmetic plastic surgeon can apply fat injections to the lower eye area, cheeks, lips or jaw line to create a fresh appearance. The look is natural and accomplished without facial fillers which are commonly made with synthetic ingredients. This is especially beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate traditional fillers due to allergies.
Sometimes a patient may feel self-conscious about how their hands are aging. Soft tissue on the back of the hands eventually becomes thin, exposing bone structure and underlying veins. Both women and men can feel uncomfortable with this appearance. Fortunately, they can have the volume of the soft tissue restored. The fat injected into targeted areas absorb and become a part of the hand, which results in a very natural look.
Enhancing the buttocks has become very popular in New York and beyond. Fat injections produce a natural look when size and contour is kept in proportion to the person’s body. Cosmetic surgeons have individual techniques which help determine the results and longevity of the enhancement. It is a good idea to bring a photo of your desired goals to the consultation so that expectations can be discussed.
