What is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer is also known as fat transplant surgery. This procedure includes injecting fat into volume-deficient parts of the body. This fat is surgically removed from places with excess fat, such as the buttocks, thighs, breasts, and abdominals. It is used to enhance the lips, breasts, hips, and face.
This procedure is also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, it is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body, typically through liposuction, and then injecting it into another part to enhance volume or contour.
Uses:
Commonly used for facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, and buttock enhancement, this technique allows for a natural-looking and long-lasting improvement.
The transferred fat contains living cells, contributing to more organic results compared to synthetic fillers. While some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, a significant portion typically integrates successfully, providing a subtle and natural enhancement.
