Looking for a natural way to restore lost volume and rejuvenate your face or body? Let's educate ourselves with technical guidance from Dr. Vivek.
In this post, he explains everything you need to know about fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer, a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to enhance and contour targeted areas.
What is fat grafting?
Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from one part of your body (commonly the thighs, abdomen, or flanks), processing it to purify and isolate healthy fat cells, and then injecting it into areas that need volume restoration or contour correction.
Where can fat grafting help?
- Under-eye hollows
- Sunken cheeks
- Jawline definition
- Lip enhancement
- Aging hands
- Small-volume breast or buttock augmentation
Why choose fat grafting over fillers?
Unlike synthetic fillers, fat grafting uses your own tissue, making it biocompatible, long-lasting, and less likely to cause allergic reactions. It also offers the dual benefit of fat reduction in the donor area and volume enhancement in the treated site.
Results are natural, soft, and subtle, ideal for patients who want gentle facial rejuvenation or refined body contouring.
Is it permanent?
Some of the injected fat may be absorbed by the body, but the remaining fat integrates and lasts for years. In some cases, a touch-up session may be needed for optimal results.
Whether you're noticing volume loss due to aging or simply want to enhance your natural features, fat grafting can be a powerful, natural solution with minimal downtime.
