Fat Grafting
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure where a patient’s own fat is harvested, purified, and reinjected to enhance volume, correct deformities, or improve contour. It is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement, buttock augmentation, and scar revision.
How Fat Grafting Works
- Fat Harvesting – Fat is extracted from donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction.
- Purification – The fat is processed to remove impurities and excess fluids.
- Reinjection – The purified fat is strategically injected into the desired area for volume restoration and contouring.
Benefits of Fat Grafting
- Natural & Biocompatible – Uses the patient’s own fat, reducing the risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
- Dual Benefit – Removes unwanted fat from problem areas while enhancing another area.
- Long-Lasting Results – A portion of the transferred fat integrates permanently for sustained improvement.
- Minimally Invasive – Compared to implants or fillers, it’s a safer, natural alternative.
- Improves Skin Quality – Fat contains stem cells that enhance skin texture and elasticity.
Common Uses of Fat Grafting
- Facial Fat Grafting – Fills hollow cheeks, under-eye areas, and deep wrinkles.
- Breast Augmentation & Reconstruction – Adds natural volume or corrects asymmetry.
- Buttock Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) – Enhances shape and fullness.
- Hand Rejuvenation – Restores lost volume and smooths wrinkles.
- Scar Treatment – Improves the appearance of scars and skin irregularities.
