Fat Transfer
Understanding Fat Transfer
As individuals age or lose significant weight, they may experience a loss of volume and shape in various body areas, leading to a less youthful appearance. A fat transfer procedure effectively addresses this by harvesting fat from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to areas that require volume enhancement, such as the breasts, buttocks, or facial features. This technique not only restores lost volume but also provides a more contoured appearance without the need for implants or synthetic fillers. Fat transfer is ideal for those seeking a natural enhancement with minimal risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Treatment Overview
The fat transfer process begins with the patient being placed under anesthesia, depending on the areas involved. Using the advanced BeautiFill technology, fat is harvested through a minimally invasive technique that involves laser-assisted liposuction. The fat is then purified and prepared for injection. Once processed, the purified fat is carefully injected into the targeted areas to create natural-looking volume. Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the procedure; smaller areas like the lips may heal within a couple of days, while larger areas like the buttocks or breasts may require a longer healing period. Patients typically enjoy immediate results with long-lasting effects.
