How does a fat transfer work?
The fat transfer procedure, sometimes called “fat grafting,” is a treatment during which the doctor will remove fat cells from one area of the body, such as the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen, and then reinject them elsewhere. This allows for improved volume in a permanent manner and eliminates the need for manmade injectables. Many patients find that fat transfers provide natural-looking results when administered by a dedicated professional such as Dr. Fredric Stern.
Places to use fat transfers
Our team finds the following areas to the be the most popular for fat transfers:
- Face – the face has many areas where volume loss can occur, including around the cheeks. Patients can also utilize fat cells to fill folds on the face that are moderate to severe.
- Lips – adding volume to the lips can make them appear more youthful while also ensuring natural symmetry.
- Hands – volume loss from the hands can be one of the first signs of aging patients notice. By adding fat cells into the hands, there will be less wrinkles and skin laxity.
