Fat Grafting New York City

Patients who undergo fat grafting in New York City and the Manhattan area know that facial aging is not so much a matter of gravity but of disappearing fat. Board-certified, Manhattan plastic surgery specialist, Alesia Saboeiro, one of the very few female surgeons in the City, offers a way to put the fat – and a touch of youth – back into the structures of the face.

Why Fat Grafting

When young, our facial skin is nicely padded with a natural layer of fat surrounding the eyes, cheekbones, temples, chin and jaw line. But, given the passage of many decades, too much sun, air pollution, stress and natural aging, that layer of fat starts to disappear, allowing structures underneath to emerge. In the upper face, the shape of the skull and rims around the eyes become more visible. The eyebrows lose some of their internal base, too, and fall down toward our eyes. That, in turn, makes our eyes look more deep set – and angry.

Plenty of corpulent flesh exists elsewhere in the body. One of the world’s most highly trained specialists in fat grafting, Dr. Saboeiro harvests that fat via liposuction, prepares it and then injects fat cells back under the skin where the face sags.

Fat grafting results in a more plump, fuller face, more like it was in youth. Moreover, fat transfer makes your face look healthier. While some fat is reabsorbed by the body, Dr. Saboeiro’s skill and expertise with this procedure is in knowing how much fat to harvest and where and how many drops of fat cells to deposit to get a more youthful look.
