Fat Injection
Fat injection, also referred to as fat grafting or fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes the patient's own fat cells to improve various areas of the body. During the procedure, fat cells are harvested from donor sites using liposuction techniques and then carefully injected into areas requiring augmentation or refreshing, such as the face, breasts, hands, or scars. This innovative procedure offers a natural and durable solution for adding volume, refining contours, and achieving a more vibrant appearance without the use of synthetic implants or fillers. Ideal for patients seeking subtle yet significant improvements, fat injection treatments provide customizable results tailored to each individual's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What is Fat Injection?
In fat injection procedures, also known as fat grafting or fat transfer, autologous fat cells are harvested from one area of the body and carefully injected into another to augment volume, restore contours, or rejuvenate tissue. This minimally invasive procedure involves several steps:
Firstly, fat is extracted from donor sites like the abdomen or thighs using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then processed to remove impurities and excess fluids before being meticulously injected into targeted areas requiring augmentation, such as the face, breasts, or hands.
The procedure aims to achieve results by restoring lost volume, filling in wrinkles or depressions, and improving overall symmetry and proportion.
During the consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient's aesthetic goals, determine suitable donor sites for fat extraction, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique anatomy and desired outcome.
Fat injection procedures offer a versatile solution for improving various areas of the body while utilizing the patient's natural tissue, resulting in outcomes with minimal risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
