Fat Transfer

Surgical Excellence » Face » Fat Transfer

Volume loss is one of the most visible signs of facial ageing. Through carefully performed Fat Transfer techniques, we restore volume to key areas of the face using your body’s own tissue. This offers a soft enhancement with regenerative benefits, ideal for patients seeking a more natural contour without synthetic fillers.

Fat Transfer

An autologous procedure using the patient’s own fat to restore volume, correct contour irregularities, and enhance facial or body features.

- You have areas of the face that look sunken, wrinkled, or creased
- You’re seeking longer-lasting results than those offered by temporary fillers
- You wish to enhance volume or correct asymmetry in areas like the lips, nose, buttocks, or breasts
- You’re undergoing breast reconstruction and need to improve shape or conceal implant edges
- You want a natural alternative to synthetic fillers using your body’s own tissue
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, involves harvesting fat from an area of the body with excess (e.g., abdomen, thighs) and reinjecting it into areas that need volume or contouring.
Because the fat is your own, the procedure is biocompatible, natural-looking, and carries a low risk of allergic reaction.
Results are long-lasting and can rejuvenate the face, smooth scars, enhance the buttocks or breasts, and even contour the nose.
Fat grafting is performed in three main steps:
1. Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from a donor site such as the thighs or abdomen using a fine cannula and local anaesthetic.
2. Purification: The fat is processed, either filtered or centrifuged, to remove impurities and prepare it for reinjection.
3. Placement: The purified fat is strategically injected in thin layers into the target area using fine needles or cannulas to achieve smooth, even results. The area may be massaged and dressed afterward.
The procedure is minimally invasive and leaves little to no visible scarring, with liposuction marks typically fading over time.
- Natural-looking volume that integrates with your body
- Enhanced skin texture and firmness over time
- Long-lasting effects , typically years rather than months
- Low risk of complications, as your own tissue is used
- Some fat may be reabsorbed, so touch-ups are sometimes needed
Final results appear gradually as the fat settles and integrates, usually within a few weeks.
