What is a Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a surgical technique that uses your body's own fat to rejuvenate the face, restoring volume and enhancing facial features. By using natural tissue, fat transfer in Long Island with Dr. Sean Alemi achieves subtle, long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with your natural appearance.

Why Choose Fat Transfer for Facial Rejuvenation?

  • Natural, Long-Lasting Results: Using your own fat ensures that the enhancement integrates naturally with surrounding tissues, creating smooth and authentic-looking results that evolve beautifully over time.
  • Versatility: Fat transfer can address multiple facial concerns, such as volume loss, wrinkles, and asymmetry, providing a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
  • Complement to Facelift Surgery: Dr. Alemi often recommends fat transfer as an adjunct to facelift surgery, as it helps restore lost facial volume, enhancing the overall lifting effect and creating a more youthful, balanced appearance.
  • Minimal Downtime: As a minimally invasive procedure, fat transfer typically involves a shorter recovery period compared to more extensive surgical options, allowing you to return to your routine sooner.

Areas of the Face that Benefit from Fat Transfer

Dr. Alemi's meticulous approach to fat transfer allows for precise enhancement of various facial areas:

Cheeks

Restore youthful fullness to the midface, enhancing cheekbone definition and addressing age-related hollowing for a naturally lifted look.

Under-Eye Area (Tear Trough)

Fill in hollows under the eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles, creating a more refreshed and awake look.

Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)

Soften the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, restoring smooth and youthful contours to the lower face.

Marionette Lines

Reduce the depth of lines extending from the mouth to the jawline, adding volume for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Lips

Enhance the shape and fullness of the lips for a naturally balanced, attractive contour, perfect for addressing thin or asymmetrical lips.

Temples

Fill in hollow areas in the temples to improve facial symmetry and balance, rejuvenating the upper face.

Jawline

Define and sculpt the jawline by addressing areas of hollowing or soft tissue loss, creating a more structured and youthful lower face.

Chin

Augment the chin for improved projection and facial harmony, particularly beneficial for those with a recessed or underdeveloped chin.

The Fat Transfer Process: Personalized to You

Dr. Alemi approaches each fat transfer with a commitment to artistry and precision, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals:

  • Injection: Dr. Alemi strategically injects the processed fat into the targeted facial areas, using a delicate technique to enhance contours and achieve a natural, youthful appearance.
