What is Fat Transfer surgery?

A fat transfer procedure is a cosmetic surgery technique used to enhance or restore volume in specific areas of the body. The goal of the procedure is to provide natural-looking results by using the patient’s own fat, which can help smooth wrinkles, enhance contours, or improve volume in areas that have lost fullness due to aging or other factors.

How does Fat Transfer surgery work?

Fat transfer involves a multi-step process to enhance or restore volume in targeted areas of the body. Initially, fat is harvested from a donor site using liposuction, typically from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. This harvested fat is then processed and purified to isolate viable fat cells from other components. Finally, the purified fat is carefully injected into the desired area, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks, to add volume and improve contours.

Fat Transfer FAQs
  • How long do Fat Transfer results last?

    The results can be long-lasting, but some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. Typically, the remaining fat can provide results that last several years. Maintenance or touch-up sessions may be required to sustain the desired outcome.

  • What is the recovery time for Fat Transfer?

    Recovery time can vary depending on the areas treated and the individual. Generally, most people experience swelling and bruising for a few days to a week. Light activities can often be resumed within a few days, but more strenuous activities might need to be avoided for a few weeks.

  • Can Fat Transfer be combined with other procedures?

    Yes, fat transfer can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, facelifts, or breast augmentation to enhance overall results or address multiple areas simultaneously.

  • How does fat transfer compare to synthetic implants?

    Fat transfer uses the patient’s own fat, providing a natural look and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Synthetic implants, while offering consistent and predictable results, may carry different risks, including rejection or the need for future replacement.
