Fat transfer surgery isn’t just for filling out your curves. It’s also a great solution for restoring volume and contour to the face, filling out breasts and buttocks, or camouflaging depressions in the skin from scars. The science behind fat transfer is pretty simple: fat is transferred to areas of the body that need more volume or contour via liposuction techniques. Once it’s ready for transfer, a small cannula is used to inject that tissue into specially selected areas where patients want more fullness. And because all of this takes place within certain planes of movement—the neckline goes up but not down; underarm fat goes up but not down—there’s little chance of things looking unnatural or lumpy when done correctly.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transfer, has proven to be the ideal solution for smoothing wrinkles, restoring volume and contour to the face, filling out breasts and buttocks, and camouflaging depressions in the skin from scars.

Fat transfer is a non-surgical procedure using your own fat cells (adipose tissue) as a filler. The fat is removed from one part of your body through liposuction (usually in an inconspicuous area), purified, processed into small particles and then injected into areas that need volume enhancement.
The cells are live cells that grow in place after the initial procedure. Fat is an excellent cell carrier because it can be injected under any area of skin without causing any damage or harming underlying tissues like nerves or blood vessels.
The Science Behind Fat Transfer Surgery
Fat transfer is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure. Fat transfer can be used to create fuller lips or part of the face like cheeks and chins. The fat is taken from one area of your body (most often your belly) and injected into a different area on your body where you want more volume.
While this may sound scary, it’s actually a very simple procedure that involves no incisions or scalpels. In order for fat to be accepted by your body after surgery, we need to ensure that there is good blood supply present at our injection sites so the stem cells inside can thrive and grow new tissue accordingly. That’s why it’s important that we perform liposuction on patients before performing their fat transfer procedures—it allows us access to fatty tissue without disrupting fragile stem cells within them!
This makes fat transfer surgery an incredibly cost-effective solution for many aesthetic concerns.
Fat transfer surgery is an incredibly cost-effective solution for many aesthetic concerns. In fact, it is the most popular non-surgical solution to the loss of volume in the face and body.
This makes fat transfer a great choice for patients who want to look younger without undergoing plastic surgery procedures. The procedure requires no incisions, so it’s completely noninvasive and safe; however, that doesn’t mean it’s not effective at all! It can even be used on sensitive areas such as the breasts or under eyes—so there’s no need to worry about scarring or pain during recovery time after your procedure either.
Liposuction is used to collect quality fatty tissue from areas such as thighs, hips, abdomen or flanks
Liposuction is minimally invasive procedure that uses a small cannula to remove fat from areas such as thighs, hips, abdomen or flanks. Liposuction is not a substitute for bariatric surgery and it cannot be used to treat obesity or excess weight in other parts of the body. However, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from the face and neck to assist with achieving a slimmer contour in these areas.
The best candidates for liposuction are healthy individuals who have an average BMI (Body Mass Index) between 20-30. Liposuction can also be performed on patients who have undergone bariatric surgery as long as they are healthy enough for the procedure and meet all other criteria.
Fatty tissue is collected using a gentle liposuction technique so as not to harm fragile stem cells
The fatty tissue is collected using a gentle liposuction technique so as not to harm the fragile stem cells. The fat is then processed and prepared for transfer.
It’s important that your provider uses a gentle liposuction technique to prevent damage to the soft connective tissue and blood vessels that make up your body’s support system. This ensures that all of the fat is transferred successfully and without any damage, which could cause complications in surgery or after treatment.
Fat transfer procedures are becoming more common among plastic surgeons because they’re very effective at reducing wrinkles and restoring volume in areas where it’s lost due to aging or weight loss surgery. However, there are certain things you should know about these procedures before undergoing one yourself:
A combination of absorbent and nonsorptive sutures is placed in the donor sites.
All the donor sites are closed with a combination of absorbent and nonsorptive sutures. The nonsorptive sutures close the donor site, while absorbent sutures close the recipient site. This is important because you want to make sure your incisions heal properly, which can be compromised if they’re not done in this specific pattern.
At the end of your procedure, these sutures will be removed by your plastic surgeon.
Once fatty tissue is ready for transfer, it is injected with a small cannula into specially selected areas where the patient would like more fullness. The fat successfully replaces lost volume by restoring youthful contours and improving overall appearance.

The process begins with an initial consultation where your surgeon will discuss your cosmetic goals and determine if fat transfer surgery is right for you. The procedure itself takes approximately two hours to complete under general anesthesia, although patients are typically able to leave within a few hours after the surgery has ended.
Conclusion
Now more than ever, it’s important to understand the risks and benefits of any medical procedure. Before embarking on a fat transfer surgery, make sure you consult with an experienced plastic surgeon who can help you decide if this is the right option for your needs. Most importantly, remember that this procedure is not a quick fix—it takes time for your body to heal properly before seeing results! So, if you are looking for help with this, reach out to us and schedule a consultation.
