It's like a two-in-one procedure: you get liposuction to remove unwanted fat from a donor site, and then that fat is carefully processed and injected into a recipient site to add volume or improve contours.

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transplantation, is a surgical procedure that moves fat from one area of your body to another. It's like a two-in-one procedure: you get liposuction to remove unwanted fat from a donor site, and then that fat is carefully processed and injected into a recipient site to add volume or improve contours.
Common areas for fat transfer:
Face: To fill in hollows under the eyes, plump up cheeks, and smooth out wrinkles.
Breasts: To increase size or improve shape after surgery or weight loss.
Buttocks: To enhance volume and shape (Brazilian Butt Lift).
Hands: To restore volume and reduce the appearance of veins and tendons.
The Fat Transfer Procedure
Fat transfer typically involves these steps:
Liposuction: Fat is removed from a donor site (like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) using liposuction.
Fat Processing: The harvested fat is processed to remove impurities and concentrate healthy fat cells.
Fat Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the desired areas using small needles.
Results of Fat Transfer
Natural Look and Feel: Because the fat comes from your own body, the results look and feel very natural.
Long-lasting Results: Unlike temporary fillers, fat transfer results can last for many years, although some fat reabsorption is normal.
Improved Skin Quality: Fat contains stem cells and growth factors that can improve skin texture and tone.
Risks of Fat Transfer
Common Side Effects: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort at both the donor and recipient sites are common but temporary.
Fat Reabsorption: Some of the transferred fat may not survive, requiring additional procedures to maintain the desired results.
Asymmetry: There may be some unevenness in the results, especially in the early stages.
Infection: Infection is a rare but possible complication.
Fat Necrosis: This occurs when some of the transferred fat dies, forming small lumps under the skin.
Oil Cysts: Small, harmless cysts can form at the injection sites.
Rare but Serious Complications: In very rare cases, fat embolism (fat entering the bloodstream) or other serious complications can occur.
What to Expect
Recovery: Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure and the areas treated. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several days or weeks.
Results: Initial results will be visible soon after the procedure, but it can take several months for all the swelling to subside and the final results to be seen.
Longevity: The results of fat transfer can last for many years, but some fat reabsorption is normal. A healthy lifestyle can help maintain the results.
