Fat Transfer – Natural Facial & Body Volume Restoration

Fat Transfer – Natural Facial & Body Volume Restoration

Introduction: Why Natural Volume Matters More Than Ever

As we age, volume loss in the face, hands, and body can leave us looking tired, sunken, or older than we feel. At Patients Medical in New York City, we offer advanced Fat Transfer procedures—a safe, natural way to restore youthful volume using your own fat.

Our holistic, integrative approach ensures that you’re not just improving appearance—you’re nourishing your body inside and out.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one area of your body—such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks—and reinjecting it into areas needing volume or contour enhancement.

This minimally invasive technique provides dual benefits:

  • Sculpting areas with excess fat
  • Rejuvenating areas with volume loss

Why Choose Fat Transfer Over Synthetic Fillers?

Unlike synthetic fillers that eventually dissolve, fat transfer uses your own living tissue, offering natural integration and potentially permanent results. Additional benefits include:

  • No risk of allergic reaction
  • Improved skin quality from stem cells in fat
  • Subtle, natural-looking enhancement
  • Long-term cost savings with fewer repeat treatments

Integrative Treatments with Fat Transfer

How the Procedure Works

  • Consultation & Planning: We assess your goals, health, and ideal donor sites.
  • Fat Harvesting: Fat is gently removed using liposuction under local anesthesia.
  • Purification: The fat is cleaned and prepared using advanced filtration systems.
  • Injection: Using micro-cannulas, fat is precisely layered into treatment areas.
  • Recovery & Results: Minimal downtime, swelling subsides in a few days, and final results are visible in 2–3 months.

Ideal Candidates for Fat Transfer

You may benefit from fat transfer if you:

  • Desire natural enhancement without synthetic materials
  • Have adequate donor fat areas
  • Want to reverse facial aging or add body contour
  • Prefer minimally invasive rejuvenation
  • Are seeking breast or buttock enhancement without implants

 

Our Holistic Pre- and Post-Treatment Support

At Patients Medical, we go beyond the procedure with full-body integrative care:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition to support healing
  • IV therapy with glutathione and vitamin C to reduce swelling and support collagen
  • Detox protocols to optimize lymphatic drainage
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) add-on for faster recovery and improved fat survival
  • Stress-reducing therapies like acupuncture and guided meditation

Real Case Study: Jessica’s Natural Transformation

Jessica, 46, felt her face was aging faster than the rest of her. She didn’t want synthetic fillers. We performed facial fat transfer using fat from her flanks, combined with PRP and nutrient IVs.

Results:

  • Fuller, softer cheeks and under-eyes
  • Improved skin glow from stem cell activity
  • Boosted self-confidence with a natural look

Her comment:

“People kept asking if I’d gone on vacation—not if I had ‘work done.’ I feel like myself again.”
