When most adults talk about fat, itās usually in reference how they have too much of it on their body. However, in terms of the face, a little fat in the right places makes us look younger and healthier. In fact, volume loss or drooping fat is a major culprit to several aging facial features. Fortunately, there is a win-win solution for patients who want to lose some fat on their body and replace lost volume in their aging face. Fat transfer is a sophisticated procedure in plastic surgery that is used a number of ways. Beyond improving the aging face, fat transfer can be used reconstructively as well.
In simple terms, fat transfer involves extracting fat (through micro-liposuction) from the tummy area, hips or inner thighs and injecting the purified fat cells into areas of lost fat on the face, typically the cheeks. Fat transfer can carefully be injected into the lips or eye area as well. A skilled plastic surgeon can use fat transfer or fat grafting to address the following:
Thin lips
Hallowed, sunken cheeks
Under eyes, tear trough area
Facial asymmetry
Facial paralysis
Bony defects
Burn/trauma scarring
When it comes to replacing lost facial volume to make you look younger, you have other options as well. Fat transfer is a minimally-invasive solution that is considered a middle ground option between implants and synthetic filler injections.

I have done an abundant amount of research over the years regarding different types of face lift procedures, looking at pictures of their outcomes and I kept circling back to Dr. Talei ā so needless t... o say, I was prepared with a list of questions when I went for my consultation. In order to leave a deep impression on someone, you need to make them feel something ... preferably something good. During my visit, all his staff, from front desk to nurses, were polite, respectful and professional. Iāll join the chorus of other reviews from those who found Dr. Talei warm, engaging and sincere. I will add that he was very candid about what procedures he thought would be best where I would be happy with the results and the pros/cons of alternatives ā no snake oil here. As luck would have it, I was also able to see the results of his recommended surgery on one of his recent patients and get all my questions answered. Heās booked for the next 4 months which is a testament to his skill and demand.

Dr. Talei is talented, down-to-earth, warm and an all around great guy. I'd recommend him because you'll get the best experience while in his care and for his talent. He does amazing lip lifts, scar... revisions, blemish removal, fillers, you name it. He also cares about making the world a better place through charity work and donating his services to those in need. Really all you could ask for in a human, let alone a doctor. And a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon at that. His staff are super nice and his office is the coolest. I will be going back for angioma removal and acne scar revision, very trustworthy doctor.

Iāve been going to Dr. Ben Talei for several years and I absolutely love him. My favorite procedure Iāve gotten is the profound RF facial. The results were astounding! The downtime was only 2 weeks an... d I looked five years younger. It was basically a face lift without any surgery. I love how kind, generous, thorough, intelligent, talented, funny, and most importantly conservative Dr. Ben is with his patients. Unlike many doctors who simply want to make the most money from their clients, Ben will never do anything that he feels will not have the best long-term results. If he thinks a procedure will have complications and wonāt look good in the long run, he will not perform it. I have recommended Dr Ben to all of my friends and my husband. Everyone has had nothing but the best experience with him and they always come back. Thank you so much Dr. Talei for keeping me looking my best !
