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.

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.

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.

The type of result you can expect and any risks will be discussed with you by your dedicated surgeon.

For more information on the procedure please feel free to request a call back from our dedicated cosmetic team.
