Give Yourself Lustful Curves with a Fat Transfer

Have you ever looked at your problem areas and wished to move the fat to a different part of your body? It seems like the perfect solution, no unnatural or even toxic substances in your body and the benefit of having the shape you want to your body. If you would like to learn more, consult with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon that can perform the fat transfer procedure.

What exactly is a fat transfer procedure?

A fat transfer does exactly what the name describes. Using the same method as liposuction, your own unwanted fat can be harvested from one part of your body, and then injected into the desired area. This method adds volume and can create curves or shape an area of your body that was not there before.

Unlike artificial fillers, your natural fat has the potential to occupy the area it has been transferred to for many years, until it is metabolized by the body. Depending where the fat transfer has taken place, about 60% will remain for quite a few years, and 40% will be absorbed in 4 months. Patients often reveal that unlike other artificial fillers, their own fat has a more natural look and feel to it. Some of the most common problem areas targeted by fat transfers tend to be the mid-face, primarily around the eyes and mouth where lines tend to appear first and be most bothersome.

What to expect during and after your fat transfer procedure?

The fat transfer can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries such as a face lift, but may be done alone depending on the preoperative appearance of the targeted area. After the surgery takes place there is commonly reported swelling for up to one week and virtually no scarring to worry about.
