Facial Implants Vs. Facial Fat Grafting: What’s the Difference?

A common complaint among many aging men and women that walk through our door is volume loss. Whether it’s in the form of unwanted wrinkles, sunken cheeks, thinning lips, or under-eye hollows, there are solutions. Age-related volume loss is something that can be addressed using a variety of mathods.

At Specialty Aesthetic Surgery, we offer several options for men and women that would like to restore more youthful facial contours. Depending on the severity of your condition and the goals you’d like to achieve, you might be better suited for either facial implants or fat grafting. Let’s take a closer look.

Facial Implants

Facial implants consist of medical-grade silicone and are placed below the surface of the skin to add instant volume. Patients can see results that are as subtle or as dramatic as they like thanks to a variety of custom shapes and sizes. Facial implants can significantly change the structure of the cheeks and/or jawbone.

Results from facial implants can be seen immediately with gradual improvement as any post-operative swelling subsides. Facial implants are considered a permanent procedure with lifelong results. Downtime is minimal, and most patients are able to return to normal activities in about 5-7 days.

Facial Fat Grafting

Facial fat grafting relocates your own fat from one area of the body (typically the stomach or thighs) to another (face and neck) to improve facial contours. Once fat is harvested, it is injected at precise depths to achieve desired volume enhancement. In experienced hands, fat grafting produces natural-looking results that most patients love.

You’ll be able to see immediate improvement from facial fat grafting. Although it is normal for some of the placed fat to be reabsorbed by the body, the procedure is long-lasting for most. You can expect anywhere from 7-10 days of downtime with this procedure.

What’s Right for You?

Ultimately, that’s a decision only you can make. The best way to determine which procedure is right for you is to schedule an in-person consultation with a skilled specialist. The board-certified surgeons at Specialty Aesthetic Surgery can discuss all of your options in-depth at the time of your consultation. Together, you can create a customized treatment plan to reach your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Moskowitz is the best!! He is detailed ortiented and he explained the procedure every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and has a great bedside manner. His staff was always receptive to send information and answer any of my concerns. I could not be more pleased with my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Moskowitz!!

Maureen de Leon. New York, NY

Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.

LAURA KIRBY. New York, NY

Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.

Almasa Nabizadia. New York, NY

Don’t have enough positive words to describe my experience with Dr. Mashkevich and his team! The entire staff is absolutely amazing! Dr. Mashkevich was so calm, patient, and knowledgeable! I felt so comfortable moving forward with my decision. It took me a very long time to make this decision and proceed with my facial surgery. I am beyond thrilled and my results are even better than I ever could’ve imagined! I would highly, highly recommend Dr.Mashkevich to anyone considering facial plastic surgery!!!

Rabia BA. New York, NY

My rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Mashkevich has been excellent! He is a superb surgeon who takes wonderful care of his patients. From my initial consultation all the way through surgery and postoperative follow-ups, I have felt comfortable and safe in his hands. Dr. Mashkevich understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered amazing results. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. I am so happy with my results and would greatly recommend Dr. Mashkevich.

Jessica Zizva. New York, NY

Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!

Angela Kaziyeva. New York, NY

I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!

Sunny Sani. New York, NY

Saying Dr.Bruce Moskowitz is an expert and master in his field is an understatement. He truly knows his stuff! I am so thankful and grateful I chose Dr.Moskowitz to do my eyelid surgery. For years I went to so many Oculoplastic Surgeons and was so happy to come across Dr.Moskowitz. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, honest, and most importantly all about perfection. I’m so thankful every day, he literally changed my life!

IMRAN Ali. New York, NY

Dr. Moskowitz is by far, one of the best Dr's I have ever met. He is kind, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He explains everything that he is going to and always made sure I felt comfortable. He is also a perfectionist, which made me feel even more confident in his abilities as a plastic surgeon

Kelly Goldstein. New York, NY

There is no one else I would let touch my face besides Dr. Moskowitz. He does such an incredible job and walks you through every part of the procedure and the results are always perfect. I cannot recommend him enough!

Michelle Aselta. New York, NY

In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.
