Procedure Description
Fat transfer can be used to restore volume to virtually any area of the body. Fat is taken from an area of the body (e.g. Abdomen, flanks, thighs) via liposuction, purified, and injected into an area of lost volume. Multiple injection sites allows our plastic surgeons to create a full and natural look. Common areas that receive fat transfer are the breasts, cheeks, nasolabial folds, hands, and buttocks. Certain areas of the body are more receptive to receiving fat transfer, but this can be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Of the fat transferred, a portion of the fat cells will get reabsorbed by the body, so multiple surgeries or rounds of transfer are typically needed for the best result.
Many patients receive dermal fillers to temporarily restore volume, but they must return yearly to maintain care. Fat transfer, once complete, is relatively permanent and does not require maintenance unless there is a significant bodily change.

Credentials You Can Trust
Recuperation and Healing
You can expect some bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the sites of fat harvesting, consistent with the recovery for liposuction. The amount of recuperation needed depends on the volume of fat transfer as well as the donor and recipient sites. Pain medication is prescribed to control any initial pain. There are small, clear, dissolvable sutures at the sites of liposuction and fat transfer that will be removed about 1 week after surgery. The sites of fat transfer are small, pinhole-sized and cause little to no scarring. You can typically return to work and normal activities 1-4 weeks after surgery.
