Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a procedure that enhances or restores volume in specific areas of the body using the patient’s own fat. It’s a natural, long-lasting solution to improve contour and rejuvenate the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands.
By repurposing fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, fat grafting offers a dual benefit of liposuction and augmentation. This minimally invasive technique ensures natural results with reduced risks of allergic reactions.
Ideal for those wanting fuller cheeks, lips, or buttocks.
Helpful in correcting indentations caused by trauma or surgery.
Restores youthful volume in the face and hands.
Addresses issues after excessive fat removal.
Fat grafting involves harvesting fat cells, purifying them, and reinjecting them into targeted areas for natural contouring.
The procedure begins with liposuction from donor areas like the abdomen or thighs. The extracted fat is processed to ensure purity and quality. It is then carefully injected into the treatment areas using precision techniques for optimal results.
