Get Tighter Looking Skin with our Fat Transfer Procedure

Achieving smoother, tighter-looking skin while enhancing your natural beauty is easier than ever with fat transfer, also known as fat grafting. This minimally invasive procedure allows you to restore volume and rejuvenate areas of the face and body using your own fat, creating natural and long-lasting results.

At Dr. Robert Schwarcz’s practice, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, fat transfer procedures are expertly performed to enhance your features while maintaining a natural, refreshed look.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, or fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that uses liposuction to harvest fat from one area of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) and injects it into areas that need volume or smoothing. This technique is commonly used to:

• Fill in facial hollows caused by aging.

• Smooth wrinkles and fine lines.

• Enhance the lips or cheeks.

• Improve the appearance of scars.

• Add volume to the hands or other body areas.

By using your body’s own fat, fat transfer provides a natural and biocompatible solution for volume restoration and skin tightening.

How Does the Fat Transfer Procedure Work?

The fat transfer process involves three key steps:

1. Harvesting: Fat is carefully extracted from a donor site using liposuction.

2. Processing: The harvested fat is purified to ensure only healthy fat cells are used for transfer.

3. Injection: The processed fat is skillfully injected into the target area to achieve the desired results.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort, and patients can return home the same day.

Why Fat Transfer?

Fat grafting offers several unique benefits compared to synthetic fillers or implants:

• Natural Look and Feel: Since the procedure uses your own fat, results are soft, natural, and blend seamlessly with your existing features.

• Dual Benefit: The process removes unwanted fat from one area while enhancing another.

• Long-Lasting Results: While some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat cells provide lasting volume and tightness.

• Skin Tightening Effect: Injecting fat stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness over time.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from fat transfer is typically straightforward. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising at the donor and injection sites, which resolves within a few weeks. Results become more apparent as swelling subsides and the fat integrates into the treated area.

To maintain the results of your fat grafting procedure, it’s important to follow a healthy lifestyle and Dr. Schwarcz’s personalized aftercare plan.

Is Fat Transfer Right for You?

Fat transfer is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a natural way to rejuvenate their skin or enhance their features. Ideal candidates:

• Have sufficient fat in a donor area.

• Desire long-lasting results without synthetic fillers.

• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will assess your needs and goals to determine if fat transfer is the right procedure for you.
