Contact UsWhat 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.

Facial Fat Grafting Reviews
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.
I cannot put into words how happy and grateful I am with the results of my recent rhinoplasty with Dr. Suzman. He was able to completely repair a bad nose fracture, deviated septum, and tissue damage using fat grafting from a horseback riding accident several years ago. He also removed some buccal fat from cheeks and from under chin to give me more contour and symmetry. Dr. Suzman thoroughly went over the options of what could be done using a 3-D scan on the computer. He and his entire team went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and provide reassurance from the first consultations to the follow-up post-op appointments. I can finally breathe and feel happier and more confident! I highly recommend Dr. Suzman for all plastic surgery needs.
Dr. Suzman is always wonderful. I have known him for many years and have always found him to be warm, patient and very knowledgeable. He's the only plastic surgeon I would go to. WMG_PlasticSurgery_3030_Westchester Visit date: May 13, 2025
I would highly recommend Dr. Suzman to anyone. I have always wanted to do a breast lift, but was very nervous. Dr. Suzman was extremely thoughtful about the procedure, calming and not pushy at all. We went over the procedure and expected results in advance. I ended up doing a lift and fat transfer. The day of the surgery, he and his staff were very reassuring and attentive. The outpatient facility was excellent with top nurses and anesthesiologists. And the surgery itself was a success - results look very natural (which is what I wanted), I have little scarring and the recovery has been very smooth. Would enthusiastically recommend to anyone!
Dr. Suzman was an expert in gently removing my stitches. He was interested in me and explained everything about healing after a bad fall. I would go to him as a patient if I needed plastic surgery.

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.
