Fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to enhance other parts of your body, such as the butt. This procedure can result in a plump and refreshed look to the treatment areas. Dr. Bray performs fat transfer surgery for those looking to address several areas without the use of implants. Here he talks about how long you can expect fat transfer results to last following surgery.
Fat Transfer Target Areas
During fat transfer, the donor site will be identified as the location from which fat is taken. Stubborn pockets of fat with good skin quality are usually the first choice for donor sites. This can include excess fat on the hips, thighs, or belly. Once extracted, this fat can be used to help create an hourglass shape or enhance the size of the buttocks, for example.
How Long Do Results Last?
Now that you have achieved an attractive contour with fat transfer, you will likely want your results to remain in place for a long time.
During the procedure, transferred fat must develop a new blood supply in the target area, and not all fat cells will be successfully transferred. As a result, some, but not all, patients notice less volume than originally desired.
Once you have healed, your results can be maintained by following Dr. Bray’s postoperative instructions. These instructions will not only help you navigate your recovery, but also help you maintain your results.
It is also important that you maintain a stable weight. Your transfer results can be compromised if your weight changes significantly. This is because the transferred fat behaves like other fat in your body, and weight changes can result in changes of volume within your target area.
