Fat Transfer
A Natural Solution with Lasting Results
If you’ve ever wanted a modest, natural way of volumizing your problem areas, fat transfer (or “fat grafting”) could be the treatment for you. Using naturally-occurring fat that occurs in other areas of your body, our team at Longwood Plastic Surgery can improve volume on certain areas of the face or breasts. Unlike artificial fillers, fat transfer produces results that can be life long.
How Does A Fat Transfer Work?
Using naturally-occurring fat cells that occur on larger areas of the body, surgeons can extract and relocate fat tissue to those problem areas that need a little work. Fat cells are extracted via liposuction from an area that is of concern to you. Typical areas include the buttocks, outer thigh or the abdomen. After the existing fat is extracted, it is then prepared for transfer in a manner that minimizes cell damage and allows for successful fat graft take. After this is achieved, your specialist is able to relocate it via a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to the desired area and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?
An ideal candidate should be in good health and looking to add volume to the face or breast. Typical candidates are looking to achieve one or several of the following goals:
- A Natural Alternative to Breast Implants
- Non-Synthetic Dermal Fillers
- Modest, Less Drastic Breast Enhancement
- Minimization of Larger Facial Wrinkles
- Reversal of Age-Related Volume Loss
At Longwood Plastic Surgery, our team of experienced, qualified professionals wants you to look and feel your best. If you think fat transfers are the ideal treatment for you, consult a member of our team for a full evaluation.
