Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of the body and injecting it into another area to add volume, improve contours, and rejuvenate the appearance. This procedure is often used for facial enhancement, breast augmentation, buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift), and hand rejuvenation.
The process begins with liposuction to remove fat from areas where it is in excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the desired areas. Because the procedure uses the patient's own fat, there is no risk of allergic reactions, and the results can look and feel very natural. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of both the liposuction and the fat transfer, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week. The results are typically long-lasting, though some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time.
