What is Fat Transfer?
Once we have artistically sculpted your donor site, the harvested tissue is purified for fat transfer surgery (also known as autologous fat grafting). This process allows us to take the fat you don’t want and move it to areas where you need more fullness. Because this fat transfer procedure uses your own natural tissue, there is no risk of allergic reaction, and the results provide a softness and longevity that synthetic fillers cannot replicate.
Our patients frequently utilize facial fat transfer surgery to address the structural signs of aging by:
- Filling hollowed temples and sunken cheeks.
- Smoothing deep nasolabial folds (smile lines).
- Restoring a youthful “plumpness” to the back of the hands.
Because this is a permanent fat transfer surgery, the living cells become a long-lasting part of your facial or body anatomy, ensuring your results remain consistent for years to come.
