Get the Body Shape You Desire with Fat Transfer Surgery

Posted by Mr. Sultan Hassan on October 12th, 2017

Fat transfer is a body shape altering procedure that goes by many other names like fat injection and fat grafting. This manipulation of body fat transfers autologous fat from areas where you may have excess (commonly the outer thighs), via injection, to areas you feel are lacking in volume like your hands, face, buttocks, or breasts. It is a safe, well-tolerated, and long-lasting procedure that results in natural-looking results. Now increasing in popularity, thousands of people are discovering its pleasing results and choosing to undergo fat grafting.

People who consider the procedure are usually those who have facial features that appear to have sunken or creased, or those who want more permanent results than what temporary fillers can provide. Many fat transfer surgery patrons also go through the procedure in the hopes of improving their body contour and get an ideal body shape. Others still undergo fat grating to revise scars or fill bodily depressions. When not used for breast reconstruction or conceal obvious signs of implants, fat transfer is used to rejuvenate the appearance of the hands or the face.

Fat injections are considered a safe alternative to dermal fillers as they use autologous fat or fat from the patient’s own body, which reduces the risk of complications that come with foreign substances. Replacing “like with like” eliminates allergic reactions. Fat transfer results are also longer lasting and because the procedure is natural and done using non-invasive techniques, it is a preferred method, especially for facial rejuvenation. On the other hand, the process takes much longer than injecting dermal fillers, which usually come pre-packaged, as opposed to natural fat tissue, which is time-consuming to prepare. Fat grafting also costs more than dermal fillers and augmentation may require several sessions to achieve the desired results and size.

The fat transfer procedure can be divided into three major stages. These are harvesting, purification and transfer, and placement. Harvesting involves selecting a site for the fat removal, injecting it with local aesthetics and creating a small incision for fat removal, as in liposuction. Purification and transfer is the process of preparing the harvested fat cells for transfer to smaller syringes, which will then be used for the fat injection. The purification process typically filters the fat to remove impurities. The final stage is placement, where the receiving area for the graft is prepared and injected with the harvested and purified fat until the desired result is achieved.
