Fat Injection New York

Fat injection in New York with specialist George Beraka, M.D., a board-certified New York plastic surgeon often helps his patients move fat from one area of the body to another to improve body contours, correct defects or enhance features. The fat injection procedure may also be known as fat transfer or fat grafting.

Dr. Beraka, who is also an assistant professor of surgery at Cornell University Medical School, takes fat from more corpulent areas on patients' bodies and then injects it as a rejuvenation technique back into:

• The Cheeks.


• Under the eyes.


• Around the mouth.


• And into the lips or neck.

How Fat Injection in New York Works

When injected into the lips, fat adds fullness, providing a more sensual appearance. Many other materials can be injected into lips but fat has the advantage of being the patient's own tissue so there is zero chance of rejection or bad reactions. Of course, some transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed by the body.

When fat has been taken from more corpulent areas, it is specially prepared so that only pure, intact fat cells are reinjected back into the patient's body, one small bead at a time. That method helps the transferred fat develop its own blood supply and live longer in the new location.

Fat injection in New York is frequently done at the same time as other popular cosmetic plastic surgeries including facelift, upper and lower blepharoplasty and nose reshaping.
