If you're looking for a natural way to enhance your features or restore lost volume, fat transfer may be the perfect solution. This innovative procedure uses fat from your body to improve areas such as the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands. Fat transfer provides a dual benefit—removing fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs while restoring youthful volume to areas that need it most.
At Dr. David Bogue's practice, we provide personalized, high-quality fat transfer procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. With a reputation for precision, artistry, and care, he works closely with each patient to create natural, long-lasting results.
What Is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is a surgery that harvests fat from one area of the body and re-injects it into another to enhance volume, smooth contours, or rejuvenate aging features.
Common uses for fat transfer include:
- Facial Volume Restoration:Â Filling in hollow cheeks, under-eye areas, or deep lines and wrinkles.
- Breast Augmentation or Reconstruction:Â Adding volume for a natural look or improving symmetry.
- Buttock Enhancement (Brazilian Butt Lift):Â Achieving a fuller, shapelier backside.
- Hand Rejuvenation:Â Restoring volume and minimizing the appearance of veins or tendons.
Am I a Candidate for Fat Transfer?
You may be an ideal candidate for fat transfer if you:
- Have areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
- Desire volume enhancement without synthetic fillers or implants.
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke.
- Have realistic expectations about the results.
What to Expect During the Fat Grafting Procedure
The procedure is generally performed with local or general anesthesia and involves three key steps:
- Harvesting Fat: Fat is gently removed from donor areas using liposuction.
- Processing Fat:Â The harvested fat is purified to ensure it's ready for injection.
- Re-injecting Fat:Â The purified fat is carefully injected into the target areas to enhance volume and contour.
Most patients experience swelling and bruising, but these side effects usually resolve within a few weeks. Recovery times vary depending on the areas treated, but many can return to normal activities within a few days.
Benefits of Fat Transfer
Fat transfer offers several unique benefits:
- Natural Results:Â Enhances your appearance using your fat cells.
- Dual Benefits:Â Contours areas with unwanted fat while adding volume where needed.
- Long-Lasting Effects:Â Results can last for years with proper care.
- Minimized Risk:Â Reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Patients love fat transfer for its ability to achieve subtle, natural-looking enhancements while improving overall body contour.
