Fat Reduction & Transfer Surgery
This two-part procedure combines liposuction for fat removal with fat transfer for targeted enhancement. Liposuction addresses stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, while fat transfer utilizes these harvested fat cells to volumize and redefine other areas of the body.
The Process:
Consultation:
A detailed discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial. They will assess your goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure.
Areas for fat removal and transfer will be identified, and realistic expectations will be established.
Liposuction:
The chosen areas (abdomen, thighs, flanks, etc.) are numbed with local anesthesia or general anesthesia is administered.
Tiny incisions are made, and a cannula is inserted to gently suction out unwanted fat.
Fat Processing:
The extracted fat undergoes meticulous purification to prepare it for transfer.
Fat Transfer:
The processed fat is meticulously injected into the desired areas using small needles. This can include:
- Buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift)
- Breasts (augmentation)
- Face (lip enhancement, wrinkle correction)
- Hands (rejuvenation)
Recovery:
Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and promote healing. Some discomfort and bruising are expected, but subside within days or weeks.
Final results become fully visible after several months, as transferred fat settles into its new location.
