Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer is suited for individuals seeking subtle rejuvenation without synthetic fillers or implants. The procedure uses purified fat harvested from the patient’s body, ensuring compatibility and long-term results.

What Is Fat Transfer Treatment?

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.

Is Fat Transfer Treatment Right for You?

You may be a suitable candidate for fat transfer treatment if you:

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fat transfer treatment safe?

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.
