What is Facial Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting—also known as fat transfer—is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore facial volume, contour, and youthful balance. This technique involves gently removing fat from one part of the body (typically the abdomen or thighs), purifying it, and strategically re-injecting it into targeted areas of the face.

At Dr. Michael Suzman Plastic Surgery in White Plains, NY, Dr. Suzman performs facial fat grafting with a meticulous and artistic approach, delivering natural, elegant results tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure.

Young 50's Woman for TT, Lipo and Facial Fat Transfer - Harrison, NY - Dr Suzman is a true professional and talented surgeon, from the beginning was honest what I should expect, I even got some hand holding when needed with all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend and am thrilled with my results. Also, the outpatient facility staff was incredible, caring and on top of their game, I felt very cared for by the Dr, Heather, the anesthiologist and the staff at surgery center.Unfortunately, the one turn off was the payment staff miscommunicated with me regarding Care Credit options and failed to assist when i realized what she signed me up for. I did not care for the poor follow up and this has tainted my view of my experience. Otherwise 5 STARS .

Dr. Suzman and his staff are the best...THE BEST! Michael Suzman is professional, smart, attentive, skilled and listens to all your concerns. Because I was anxious about the procedure, he even took the time to call me the day before my procedure to address any concerns or questions. He has a terrific bedside manner and expert skill. Although I'm only five days post-op, the results are excellent. He has a lovely office and staff that can't do enough for you. I highly recommend getting a consultation, if you have been thinking about doing something, no matter how apprehensive you might be. He will address all your concerns in a clear, concise way and explain step by step what he will do both in consultation and on the day of surgery. You will feel like you're visiting an old friend. He doesn't push procedures or products, but meets you where you are and wants to address the areas of concern, so that you are both comfortable and happy. I trust him implicitly. He has a gentle touch and a lovely, caring disposition. The office staff is caring, helpful, efficient and considerate. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Suzman and his staff. Highly skilled, excellent aesthetic taste and does not overdue or perform anything he knows might not look pleasing. His breath of expertise and ability to connect with people is refreshing and unique in today's world. We are so lucky to have someone of Michael Suzman's expertise in Westchester.

From the first appointment through all the follow ups it has been an amazing experience. The staff is attentive, courteous, and kind. Dr. Suzman is a great listener who immediately makes you feel at ease. Every detail and any question is explained with expertise. Dr. Suzman made himself readily available after hours for a question. I can't say enough about this wonderful practice!

Dr Suzman is a great artist.I had a breast lift and removal of DD implants in February of 2022.I had some lipo and fat grafting to help with any disfigurement as I’d had the implants for 11 years. I had BII and my symptoms resolved almost immediately after surgery.The results are actually pretty amazing. I didn’t expect much as it was medically necessary for me but he did an amazing job.I also had a lip scar revision surgery and the results are excellent.I had the surgery during a switch over to Summint Health (for billing I think) and had some issues that Dr Suzman and Miss Reyes and the entire staff pulled together to resolve for me.I’m really impressed and I can’t recommend them enough.The whole staff is so kind and caring. I wish all doctor visits were this kind of experience.

Ideal Candidates

Facial fat grafting is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have volume loss due to aging or weight loss

  • Want natural-looking enhancement using their own tissue

  • Are looking for longer-lasting alternatives to dermal fillers

  • Have realistic expectations and are in good overall health

During your consultation, Dr. Suzman will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals to determine if facial fat grafting is the right solution for you.

Procedure Overview

  • Performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia

  • Fat is gently liposuctioned from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs

  • Harvested fat is purified and carefully injected into specific facial areas

  • The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on treatment scope

Common treatment areas include:

  • Cheeks and midface

  • Temples

  • Under-eye hollows

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Jawline and chin

  • Marionette lines

Recovery & Results

You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in both the donor and treated areas. Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Dr. Suzman provides personalized recovery instructions to help you heal comfortably and achieve optimal results.

Results from facial fat grafting develop gradually as swelling resolves and fat cells establish themselves. A portion of the transferred fat will naturally be absorbed by the body, but the remaining cells can provide long-lasting volume and rejuvenation—often for several years.
