A surgical fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that involves moving fat from one area of the body to another. It is sometimes referred to as “lipomodeling” or a “fat graft.”

Why Do You Choose Fat Transfer?

Fat Transfer is particularly successful in achieving acceptable outcomes in the treatment of some problems such as:

• The need for body contour correction.
• Correction with more durable fillers for any part of your body.
• Eliminating any undesirable fat tissue from your body, such as from your hips.
• In order to fill up bodily depressions.
• Enlarge the cheeks and raise the cheekbones.
• Adding volume to wrinkled regions like the nasolabial folds and the area below the eye if you have a thin face with sunken and creased areas to restore a youthful appearance.
• Increase the size of the breasts or balance out uneven breast size on both sides.
• For use in breast reconstruction surgery to fill in contour abnormalities or conceal visible evidence of breast implants or postoperative contours.
• Enhance the look of surgical scars.
• Decrease wrinkles, improve the look of your hands, and provide bony foot padding.

What does Fat Transfer mean?

Fat transfer is a less invasive cosmetic surgery. It enhances your lips, breasts, butt, and other physical parts using your fat. A fat transfer may make you seem plumper and younger and heal wounds.

Fat Transfer Procedure & Stages

In the fat injection procedure, the soft tissue is the main area of concern. The buttocks seem and feel more naturally as a result of this. Filtered and purified waist fat is liposuctioned and afterwards pumped into the outer zone of the buttocks to provide the best appearance possible.

Type of Anaesthesia and Length of Fat Transfer

Fat transfer can be performed under local anesthesia for both the donor location with extra fat and the area to be treated. Depending on how large the treated regions are, the fat transfer procedure may take a couple of hours.

Recovery Period and Return to social life Following Fat Transfer

The length of your recovery depends on the location where the fat transfer was done. Some adverse effects, such as edema, might take up to several weeks to go away. Patients can take pain medication for the first night following the treatment if there is any pain. Some people may return to work and normal activities after a week, while others require two weeks or longer.

Results of Fat Transfer

Fat transfer produces long-term effects. However, not all fat cells survive the operation, so you might not get the volume you want. The injected fat cells acquire a new blood supply and start to show benefits after around six months.

The prerequisites to qualify for Fat Transfer

You are a suitable candidate for fat transfer if you:

• Nearing your optimal weight.
• Are in good health.
• Don’t smoke or are capable of quitting.
