Fat Transfer is exactly like it sounds, the process of removing fat from one area of the body and moving it to another
for augmentation.
What is it for?
Many people use the process of fat transfers for facial and body
sculpting or contouring in areas that have been depleted of fat
during the aging process. Some people will
use this process to enhance their lips, cheeks, chin, and even the
area under the eye to eliminate a "hollow eye". Sculpting is also being used to augment the Buttocks, called a "Brazilian Butt Lift".
How is it done?
The surgery is performed by first doing a little lipo in an area such as the outer thigh, where most of us are a little larger on one side anyway. The fat that is removed is then processed down until it becomes very much like an auto collagen. This is then injected into the
body area that you are trying to plump up. After the initial liposuction harvesting of the fat, small amounts can then be stored for future injections.
This is not a permanent procedure although most people can expect to retain approximately 25% of the fat that is injected at each injection. The fat that is stored is viable for up to 1 year after it is harvested. The patient can have a follow up injection no sooner than 1 month after the initial injection.
