What is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting or fat transfer refers to transferring fatty tissues (adipose) from one part of the body to another to attain an enhanced overall appearance. People opt for fat graft procedures to increase the size of their buttocks, breasts, lips, cheeks, or hands. Our surgeons use the method of liposuction to extract fat from the body locations that contain fat in excess such as inner and outer thighs, lower back and lower abdomen, hips, etc. After harvesting the fatty tissues from these donor sites, the surgeons graft them to the recipient areas. This will make your appearance aesthetically pleasing.

The ideal candidate for Fat Graft

Procedure and Recovery Time

Step 1 - Anesthesia

The patient will be given local anesthetic or light sedation during this outpatient procedure.

Step 2 - Fat harvesting

Harvesting of fat takes place from the selected portions of the body that contain fatty tissues in excess, such as thighs, butts, abdomen, etc. For this, the surgeon performs liposuction by using cannulas.

Step 3 - Fat purification

Our experienced doctor uses processes like decanting, centrifugation, or sterile saline solution to separate the fat from impurities like excess fluid, debris, and damaged cells.

Step 4 - Fat grafting

The surgeon will reinject the purified fat throughout the recipient site across the subcutaneous tissues to restore the volume of the targeted portion. The fat injected depends on the recipient area, whether breasts, cheeks, belly, etc.

Recovery

You may take around six weeks to heal completely after the fat grafting procedure. Depending on the nature of your work, whether office job or physical, take off from one to two weeks would be sufficient. During recovery phase, avoid vigorous exercises or heavy lifting for around three weeks. Take special care of the incisions and refrain from massaging or rubbing the operated area for at least four weeks after the procedure.
