Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting)

Fat transfer, also known as Fat Grafting is a procedure whereby fat is removed from one part of the body and injected into another to create volume and contouring. It involves two procedures; Liposuction sculpts the area from where the fat is harvested and then contours the site where it is reintroduced.

The fat may be removed from the abdomen, thighs or love handles and re-injected into areas such as the breasts, hands or face. The treatment may be used to create symmetry and volume to the breasts, rejuvenate ageing hands or face and even to correct scars.

What our patients say:

I had fat taken from my tummy, just where I didn’t want it! It was used to add volume to my face. The results surpassed all my expectations.

The procedure for Fat Transfer

Your fat transfer procedure is usually performed under a general anaesthetic however it can also take place with a local anaesthetic and sedation. It takes around 60-90 minutes depending on how many areas are being treated and most patients go home on the same day.

The procedure involves a discreet incision usually around an inch long. Using a fine cannula, your surgeon will remove the excess fat from specific areas such as the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then centrifuged and purified, any damaged fat cells are then discarded. The surgeon takes the healthy fat cells and skilfully injects them into the required areas.

Our experienced surgeons use the latest techniques to help you achieve the result that you are looking for.

Recovery from the procedure

Recovery after your fat transfer procedure is relatively quick. There will be some bruising but this is normal and generally resolves quickly. A specialist garment is provided by your surgeon and this will help your recovery and improve your results. Most patients return to work after a couple of days and are fully recovered in two to four weeks.

All your aftercare is fully inclusive and follow up appointments will be made to suit you.
