Fat Grafting
From the face to the body, ideally shaped contours rely on an even distribution of subcutaneous fat. However, over time natural fat may atrophy or migrate, resulting in a loss of volume and shape in a given area. Similarly, there are those who feel that some regions of the body never had the right amount of fullness to begin with.
Whatever the concern may be, fat transfer can adequately address all of these issues, creating appealing contours on both the face and body.

About
Fat Grafting
Fat transfer (also called fat grafting) is a plastic surgery procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body for placement in the face, buttocks, or breasts.
​
In addition to augmenting features and providing facial rejuvenation, fat transfer can also correct deformities on the body left by a previous liposuction procedure.
WHAT DOES FAT GRAFTING PROCEDURE INVOLVE?
The goal of fat grafting is to add volume to areas of the face and body that appear flat or drooping. It is also used to correct irregularities (like surface depressions) that may have developed after a poor outcome from liposuction. It can be used on any part of the body where patients want additional curves.
​
Once the treatment plan is mapped out, and a donor site (or sites) is identified, the fat is carefully harvested and processed. It is then reinjected into areas of the body that the patient would like to be fuller or more substantial (such as the lips, breasts or buttocks). It can also be injected into areas that have lost volume due to weight fluctuations, the aging process, and a myriad of other factors that can affect the amount of subcutaneous fat in the body.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FAT GRAFTING?
Most people seeking fat grafting want natural results rather than looking altered or artificially enhanced.
