Fat Grafting Manhattan

People who are interested in fat grafting in Manhattan turn to the highly recommended and extensively trained hands of Alesia Saboeiro, M.D., one of only a few board-certified female plastic surgeons in Manhattan.

What is Fat Grafting

Fat grafting takes excess fat, prepares it and injects the fat cells into sagging places on the face and body. Facial aging comes about because in many places on the face and neck, only an empty sack of skin is left after the natural fat pad under our skin dissipates.

Dr. Saboeiro, with 15 years training and experience, offers fat grafting in Manhattan for the face - including the lips -- the buttocks and for places on the body where other plastic surgery such as a tummy tuck created small dimples and surface depressions in patients' skin.

Fat grafting also helps restore:

• Slack eyebrows and upper eyelids
• Drooping skin on chins and jaw lines
• Loose lower eyelids and cheeks and fleshy, sagging necks
• Bony, aged hands

Additionally, Dr. Saboeiro reduces those folds of skin that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth and the crease running down from the corner of the mouth, a facial flaw known to surgeons as the "marionette groove."

Dr. Saboeiro harvests corpulent flesh from flabby areas and replants fat cells via a syringe in places that need plumping up. It's a skill known to only a handful of plastic surgeons because human fat is actually a delicate substance.

As we age, our lips lose the fullness we associate with youth. That causes the skin around the lips to wrinkle. But fat grafting adds volume and creates an attractive, full lip.
