Fat Transfer

• In this method, the surgeon removes the excess fat from different parts of the body such as thigh, abdomen and other areas
• This fat is then processed and then injected to expand/increase volume in desired areas
• Good thing about fat transfer technique is that it doesn’t only restore the volume of skin but it also enhances the glow and beauty of the skin
• It is an effective technique used to mold new contours, such as abs, biceps, chest, chest, buttocks, hips etc.
• Fat transfer is also the best alternative to the dermal fillers and implants for chin augmentation

The most common areas for treatment are:

• Frown lines
• Breast Augmentation
• Buttock Augmentation
• Hip Enlargement
• Skin depressions
• lips to give a fuller and more sensuous
• Hand rejuvenation
• Body Contouring and Shaping
• Face Rejuvenation
• Crow’s feet
• Facial wrinkles
• Creases and furrows
• Sunken cheeks
• Some types of scars

A fat-injection procedure is a two-step process

• First the donor site is cleansed and then anesthetized
• Then fat is harvested through a liposuction cannula (tube) from the abdomen or hips and once extracted is aspirated and washed in saline to remove damaged fat cells prior to injection
• Once treated the fat cells are then injected with a small syringe (after the area has been numbed) into the desired locations.

• As with any medical procedure, there can be side effects. Most people experience some swelling and redness for the first 24-48 hours.
• Itching and mild discomfort is not uncommon
• There is no risk from allergic reaction because the fat is harvested from your own body
• Infection is extremely rare and if needed antibiotics will be given for five days

Absolutely yes, because it is your own fat being transferred from one place to another. Since no foreign material is used, no reactions are seen.

Different procedures react differently to the fat transfer treatment. Once transferred about 50-70% of the fat is absorbed by the body and 30-50% will stay for a long time and maybe for life. It means that additional procedure may keep on adding volume to the pre-existing fat. It is good to get answer to this question during consultation session with an expert cosmetic surgeon.
