What Is Fat-Grafting?
Fat-grafting, or fat transfer, is a cosmetic surgery procedure in which fat is removed from one area of the body and injected into another to increase volume and shape. Typically, this technique is used to add fullness to the face. Skin and surrounding tissues can be improved by transferred fat cells.
Fat grafts can be used in a variety of ways, including to rejuvenate the face, as well as correct contour irregularities. In addition to its natural-looking results, it contours the donor site while enhancing the recipient site at the same time. A number of sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, however, as fat transferred may be reabsorbed by the body over time.
Fat-Grafting Procedure
First, fat cells are removed from the donor site, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, using liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified to remove impurities like blood and oil. The purified fat is carefully injected into the target area using small, precise injections to achieve the desired contour and volume. Fat grafting can be performed in virtually any area of the body. Typically, local anesthetic is introduced into excess fat areas and this procedure takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours total.
