Discover the Benefits of a Fat Transfer | Skin Secrets
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.
Why is the Autologous Fat Transfer treatment popular?
- Can be performed while awake in an office setting
- Lasts longer than fillers
- Less expensive
- Simple and safe
What is the Autologous Fat Transfer treatment also known as?
- Autologous fat grafting

Fat Transfer Benefits
1. Removes Unwanted Fat
Removing fat brings balance, beauty and symmetry to the body. Common areas for fat harvesting include:
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Love handles
- Lower abdomen
- Upper abdomen
2. Provides a Youthful Appearance
Though dermal fillers and facelifts are excellent options to appear young, fat transfers deliver more natural and longer-lasting solutions. Fat transfers are ideal for:
- Filling facial wrinkles and creases
- Face contouring
- Smoothing scars
3. Lasts Longer than Fillers
Artificial fillers typically lasts 6 to 12 months and require more expensive replacements. Fat transfers last 2 years or more.
4. Minimally Invasive
This procedure is much less invasive than a facelift, leaves no scarring and does not require major downtime after the treatment. Patients can resume normal activities right away.
5. Fills Lost Volumes
Fat transfers fill in areas of the face or body which have lost volume including sunken cheeks, grooves running from the nose to mouth, eye corners, tiny imperfections and lips.
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.
8. Increases Fullness and Roundness of Buttocks
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.
