As we age, our skin produces less collagen—the proteins that act as its building blocks—and elastin—the fibers that give it its flexibility. Without an ample supply of these natural resources, your skin’s internal framework weakens, deteriorating its fat pads and your facial skeleton, leaving your once youthful and voluminous features “sunken.”
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, our expert aesthetic surgeons are pioneering a biocompatible solution for natural, lasting volume restoration, rather than synthetic options like implants or temporary fixes like dermal fillers. Here’s how we use facial fat grafting in New York City, which uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove fat from one area of the body and precisely inject it into your facial features, to seamlessly restore volume.
Under-Eye Fat Grafts
The skin around the eyes is already thinner and more delicate than that of other areas, so as it weakens with age or the pull of gravity, the area caves in and creates “hollows” beneath the eyes. This common condition, referred to as tear trough deformity, makes you appear tired and older than your true age.
We offer fat grafting in New York City to smooth these hollows and reduce the shadows responsible for dark circles. Unlike with fillers, this natural approach grants our surgeons next-level precision without the risk of lumps and migration. Plus, by harvesting fat from another area such as your abdomen or thighs, you can contour your physique simultaneously. Layering nano fat on top of the micro fat used under the eyes can even improve the texture of your skin.
Cheek Fat Grafts
The midface is also prone to showing signs of aging more quickly, as it relies on fat pads for its youthful shape; hence why we use the term “baby face” to describe youthful, full cheeks. When these fat pads deflate and/or the bones underneath thin out or resorb with age, the cheeks shift downwards, which can offset the delicate balance between your features.
Our advanced approach to facial fat grafting in New York City restores volume beneath your skin’s surface, giving your skin a natural lift. Beyond restoring fullness, we use fat grafts to restore your facial harmony, balancing its proportions and defining areas like the jawline.
Temple Fat Grafts
Near the hairline, the skin at your temples lacks the same structural support as other areas, making it show signs of aging faster. This process, known as temporal atrophy or wasting, is a result of fat, bone, and muscle loss, in addition to skin weakening.
Using a fat graft to address hollow temples grants you complete control, so you can reshape your face in a subtle yet transformative manner, combatting a “skeletal” appearance. Some of our patients pair temple fat grafts with a facelift (also known as a rhytidectomy) to address skin laxity—sagging—and volume loss in the midface.
