About this procedure
Fat Grafting, also known as Fat Transfer, is a procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore lost volume, improve facial contours, and enhance areas that appear hollow or sunken. Common treatment areas include the face, under-eye area, cheeks, temples, lips, breasts, and buttocks.
Procedure
- 1
Consultation & Treatment Planning — Your surgeon evaluates the treatment area, available donor fat, and your aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan.
- 2
Anesthesia — The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and amount of fat being transferred.
- 3
Fat Harvesting — Fat is gently removed from a donor area such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using a liposuction technique.
- 4
Fat Purification — The harvested fat is carefully processed and purified to isolate healthy fat cells for transfer.
- 5
Fat Injection — The purified fat is strategically injected into the treatment area in small layers to create smooth, natural-looking volume and contour.
- 6
Recovery & Healing — The transferred fat gradually establishes a blood supply and integrates with the surrounding tissue. Some of the transferred fat is naturally absorbed by the body, while the remaining fat provides long-lasting results.
