Fat Graft
About
Also known as fat transfer or fat injection, fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure that harvests fat from one area of the body and injects it into another to restore volume, enhance contours, or improve skin texture. This technique offers a natural and long-lasting alternative to traditional fillers, using your body's own fat to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.
How It Works
-
Harvesting: Fat is carefully extracted from a donor site (such as the abdomen or thighs) using liposuction, ensuring the fat cells remain viable.
-
Purification: The harvested fat is processed and purified to remove impurities, leaving only healthy fat cells for reinjection.
-
Injection: The purified fat is injected into the desired area in small, precise amounts to promote natural integration and long-lasting results.
Common Applications
-
Facial Rejuvenation: Restores lost volume in the cheeks, lips, and under-eye area, smoothing wrinkles and hollows.
-
Breast Augmentation: Offers a natural alternative to implants for subtle, permanent enhancement.
-
Body Contouring: Enhances the shape and volume of areas like the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL).
-
Reconstructive Surgery: Helps restore tissue loss from trauma, surgery, or other conditions.
Benefits
-
Natural Look & Feel: Uses your own fat for a soft, natural result.
-
Long-Lasting Effects: Once the fat establishes a blood supply, results are typically permanent.
-
Reduced Risk of Allergic Reaction: Since the fat comes from your own body, there’s no risk of rejection or allergic response.
