What Is Fat Grafting or Fat Transfer?

Cosmetic fat grafting and fat transfer procedures involve the liposuction removal of excess fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, and then transferring that fat to another area that may require augmentation or rejuvenation.

Candidates for Fat Grafting

Candidates for fat grafting desire an enhancement of volume or contour in areas such as the breasts, face, hands, buttocks, or other body regions. Patients should be in good overall health and possess sufficient fat reserves in donor areas to harvest the fat needed for transfer. Maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve the longevity of the results as significant weight fluctuations can affect fat distribution.

Fat Grafting Procedure

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, involves three main steps:

• Harvesting – First, Dr. White removes excess fat from a donor site on the patient’s body using liposuction. Common donor sites include the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The fat is collected in a sterile manner to preserve its viability.
• Purification – The harvested fat is carefully processed to remove impurities and excess fluids, leaving behind only healthy fat cells.
• Injection – The purified fat is then strategically transferred by injection into the target area which requires volume enhancement or rejuvenation. This may include the breasts, face, hands, or other body areas.

Fat Grafting Consultation

We invite you to schedule a consultation for a fat grafting procedure. During this appointment, Dr. White will discuss your aesthetic concerns and treatment goals, assess your suitability as a candidate, and provide a comprehensive overview of the procedure.

The Cost of Fat Grafting Procedures

Fat grafting procedures are highly customized, so the cost varies based on individual treatment plans. Upon Dr. White determining during your consultation appointment that you are compatible with the procedure and the potential for results align with your goals, the doctor will create a customized plan that includes detailed price information.
