Fat Transfer
The terms Fat Transfer, Fat Injections, Autologous Fat Transfer, and Fat Grafting all refer to the process of taking fat from an unwanted area (or areas) of your body and re-injecting purified adipose fat tissues into another area (or areas) of your body. The goal of any fat transfer procedure is to add fullness and volume to the area which receives the fat grafts. Fat injections are commonly made to the face, lips, buttocks, breast or hands. This safe, well-tolerated procedure produces long lasting results.
When to Consider Fat Transfer:
- If you have facial areas that appear creased and sunken
- If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers
- If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate your hands and face
- For use in breast reconstruction, to fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implants
- For use in Breast Augmentation instead of breast implants
- For buttock enhancement to ensure size and improve shape
- To correct dimples in the buttocks and thighs
