Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)
A fat transfer—also known as fat grafting or lipofilling—is a natural way to restore or enhance volume in different parts of the body.
The procedure involves taking your own fat from areas where you have excess—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—and injecting it into areas that need volume, such as the face, hands, breasts, or buttocks.
This safe, long-lasting, and well-tolerated procedure delivers natural-looking results. Every year, thousands of patients undergo fat grafting successfully and are delighted with their rejuvenated appearance.
When to Consider Fat Transfer
You may be a good candidate for fat grafting if:
You have facial areas that appear creased, sunken, or hollow.
You want a more permanent solution than temporary fillers.
You wish to improve body contour, revise scars, or rejuvenate your hands and face.
You need to refine breast reconstruction results or smooth out irregularities from implants.
Are You a Good Candidate?
The goal of fat grafting is to restore or add volume to areas that are deficient.
Commonly treated areas include:
Face and lips – to soften lines, wrinkles, or acne scars.
Hands – to rejuvenate and mask visible veins or tendons.
Breasts and buttocks – for natural augmentation or contour improvement.
To be a suitable candidate, you must have adequate donor fat and be in good general health, with no circulation problems (including from smoking).
Types of Fat Transfer Procedures
Fat can be harvested from your abdomen, thighs, or flanks and injected into facial areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, or under-eye hollows.
It can also improve acne scars, forehead wrinkles, and other facial depressions, providing a youthful and natural rejuvenation.
Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
If you want a modest increase in breast size and already have good skin tone and shape, fat transfer is an excellent option.
However, if you desire a significant enlargement or have sagging breasts, traditional implants may be more suitable.
Fat grafting can also refine shape irregularities after implant placement for a smoother contour.
Breast Reconstruction
For women who have undergone lumpectomy or mastectomy, fat grafting helps restore breast volume and shape.
This may require multiple sessions (usually two to four) to achieve the desired fullness.
Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses fat transfer to create fuller, rounder buttocks without implants.
Liposuction both removes excess fat from surrounding areas and provides the material for injection—enhancing your overall silhouette.
Hand Rejuvenation
Fat grafting to the hands restores youthful volume, plumps up wrinkled skin, and conceals veins or tendons, while improving skin quality over time.
Ideal Candidates
You are likely a good candidate for fat transfer if:
You are in good overall health.
You have realistic expectations about the results.
You maintain a stable weight and a positive attitude toward recovery.
