Is the Procedure Suitable for Me?
Understanding the ProcedureÂ
- Harvesting: Your surgeon begins by extracting excess fat or cellulite from designated donor areas using a cannula connected to a syringe, after administering local anesthesia to the site.
- Purification: Once an adequate amount of fat is collected, it undergoes purification in a specialized centrifuge. The processed fat is then transferred into syringes for subsequent injection.
- Placement: After numbing and cleansing the recipient site, your surgeon makes a small incision to insert a cannula for precise fat injection into natural tissue planes, achieving the desired augmentation and contouring. A compressive garment may be applied post-procedure to minimize swelling and aid recovery.
Recovery Time
- Recovery varies based on factors like age, overall health, and the extent of fat transfer. Your surgeon will provide postoperative care instructions and advise on when you can resume normal activities.
Fat Transfer Results
- While the treated area may appear fuller immediately after surgery, final results may take several months to become evident. Results are typically long-lasting, depending on the technique used and the surgeon's skill.

FAQ's
The duration of a fat transfer procedure varies but generally takes one to several hours, depending on the extent of augmentation and the number of donor sites involved.
Yes, fat transfer provides long-lasting results as the transferred fat cells integrate with the existing tissue, offering permanent volume enhancement in the treated areas.
Fat transfer can augment various body areas, including the face (such as lips and cheeks), breasts, buttocks, hands, and other areas needing additional volume.
You can typically resume light activities within a few days after the procedure, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
Since fat transfer involves small incisions for both harvesting and injection, scarring is minimal and often barely noticeable once fully healed. Your surgeon will ensure incisions are made in inconspicuous areas whenever possible.
