Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body and carefully injecting it into another area to restore volume, improve contours, and enhance appearance. Common treatment areas include the face, lips, breasts, buttocks, and hands, using the patient’s own natural fat.

Have volume loss in the face or body
Desire natural-looking volume enhancement
Prefer using your own fat instead of synthetic fillers
Have sufficient donor fat available
Are in good overall health
Want long-lasting results
Have realistic expectations
A personalised consultation is essential to evaluate donor areas and treatment goals.
Comprehensive consultation and body assessment

Yes. When performed by qualified and experienced surgeons, fat transfer is a safe and well-established procedure.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, and post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and manageable.
Results are long-lasting. Once transferred fat establishes blood supply, it behaves like normal body fat.
Some fat reabsorption is normal. Surgeons often slightly overcorrect to achieve optimal final results.
Fat transfer offers natural, longer-lasting volume, while fillers are less invasive. The best option depends on individual goals.
