A fat transfer procedure transfers the fat you have in your body from zones in which you have too much fat, like your stomach, and puts it in zones that are lacking in volume, like your buttocks or breasts. This is a safe, well-tolerated and long-lasting procedure that gives people a nice and natural looking body or face.
1- When should I do a Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer might be the solution you need if you have zones in your face that look creased or if you need a better correction by temporary fillers. You can also need it if you need to hide some scars or make your body look better.
2- Buttock augmentation with fat transfer
Many people who want a rounded buttock will choose to get the “Brazilian butt lift,” that uses the fat transfer technique to provide a better looking buttock without using any implants. Liposuction is widely used to collect the autologous fat to be injected and also sculpt the surrounding zone.
3- Breast implants plus fat transfer
If your breast shape needs optimizing during a breast implant procedure, fat grafting can be useful. If you have residual breast irregularities after undergoing breast augmentation with implants, the irregularities can be filled in with fat to produce a smooth contour and an optimal shape.
4- Younger hands with fat transfer
Do you want younger or simply better looking hands? Fat grafting into your hands is effective for adding volume, hiding wrinkles and underlying tendons or vessels and also overall, improving the skin quality.
5-Breast augmentation
If you wish for a simple increase in breast fullness, you are a good candidate for fat injecting to the breast area, but they should already have a nice shape and a great skin tone. In case you need a big increase in breast size while having sagging breasts or poor skin, fat transfer not the solution. The issue with using fat on its own for breast enhancement lies in getting big volumes of fat to eventually “take.”
6- Facial fat transfer
If you have facial wrinkles, creases, like laugh lines or smile lines, fat can be taken from your abdomen for example or any other zone to be injected into your face. Acne scarring or sunken cheeks can also be filled in. Your surgeon can also use grafted fat to make lines between your nose and mouth look smaller and correct skin depressions or indentations but also diminish forehead wrinkles.
7- Breast reconstruction with fat transfer
If you have breast defects which follow lumpectomy for breast cancer, fat transfer is a highly effective method to fill these defects in. Fat grafting is also an option for a total breast reconstruction which follows mastectomy. But, in order to achieve a satisfying breast volume, you will need a multistage process that need multiple fat grafting procedures.
