Fat transfers are increasing in popularity alongside artificial fillers and injectables. With the emergence of modern technology and new medical techniques, fat transfers offer increased benefits. 

What is fat transfer?

A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is transferring excess fat from problem areas and injecting it into bodily parts lacking in volume such as breasts, the face, hands or buttocks. The procedure is safe, long-lasting, and well-tolerated by many.

Who is a good candidate for the procedure?

Patients with generally good health, strong circulatory systems, optimistic attitudes and realistic expectations are candidates for fat transfers.

What is an Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT)?

An Autologous fat transfer is a facial fat transfer procedure where fat injections are re-injected to the face to improve facial fullness, fill creases or build up shallow contours of the cheeks and temple area. Additionally, the treatment smoothes thinning lips and erases under-eye bags and dark circles.

6. Increases Defined Areas

Fat transfers can enlarge breast and improve the appearance of the arms, buttocks or calves.   

7. Improves Skin

Fat transfers fill in wrinkled skin, making it appear smoother, plumper and rejuvenated.

Patients desiring a fuller, rounder buttocks can remove fat from the abdomen or thighs and inject it into their buttocks. Fat transfers to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian butt lift, are best for women and men who want to improve flat, unshapely and sagging buttocks.
