Fat Transfer Surgery

Introduction

Fat transfer, or fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess fat from one area of the body (like the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into areas that need volume, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. It’s commonly used for facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, or body contouring.

Who Can Get It?

• Ideal for individuals seeking natural volume restoration in areas like the face, breasts, or buttocks.

• Not suitable for those with insufficient fat to donate or those with certain health conditions that may affect healing.

How Safe Is It?

• Generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon. Risks include infection, uneven fat distribution, or absorption of the fat by the body.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Natural results; no foreign implants; dual benefit of body contouring and volume enhancement.

Cons: Fat may be reabsorbed over time; possible bruising or swelling; results may vary.
