Fat transfer is a procedure that involves collecting fat from areas of the body with excess and transferring it to another area of the body. This procedure can be used to improve various areas, including:
• Face
• Buttocks
• Hips
• Thighs
Benefits of Fat Transfer
While enhancing the appearance of specific areas, fat transfer offers additional advantages such as:
Natural-looking results: Using the body’s own fat may provide a more natural outcome.
Long-lasting effects: The transferred fat can provide lasting improvements to the treated areas.
Dual benefit: The combination of removing unwanted fat from problem areas on the body and enhancing other areas can result in the hourglass figure that many women desire.
Personalized treatment: Whether you want a subtle enhancement or dramatic results, Dr. Bray can help you achieve your body goals with personalized treatment.
Fat Transfer Procedure Details
The fat transfer procedure includes the following steps:
Harvesting: Excess fat is removed from a donor area of the body. This is achieved through liposuction, which involves the use of a suction device that is carefully moved over the donor site to collect the fat.
Separation: The harvested fat is separated from oil and excess fluid before it is injected elsewhere in the body.
Injection: After processing, the fat is then carefully injected into the target areas to reshape them and add volume.
The procedure is sometimes performed under local anesthesia. However, if the treatment area is particularly large, or if the fat transfer is being performed at the same time as other cosmetic procedures, general anesthesia may be used. After surgery, swelling and discomfort are common but can be managed with medication and special compression garments.
