The Long-Term Results of Fat Transfer

Fat transfer (fat grafting) is a popular cosmetic procedure. It involves transferring fat from one body part to another to enhance volume and contour. The long-term results of fat transfer are unmatched by any other natural or minimally invasive method.

Understanding the process of fat transfer and exploring its long-term results can offer more insights. It can help you decide if it is the option choice for natural enhancement.

Process of Fat Transfer

The first step in the fat transfer procedure is liposuction. We excise extra fat from body parts like the thighs, flanks, and belly. After that, this fat is cleaned and prepared so that it may be injected.

We insert purified fat carefully into the targeted areas of your face, such as the cheeks, lips, or eyelid area. We typically perform fat transfer under local anesthesia, and the recovery time is relatively short.

What Type of Results Can You Expect?

One of the most appealing aspects of fat transfer is its potential for long-lasting results. Here are some key points about the long-term results of fat transfer:

• Natural-looking results: Fat transfer uses your fat cells which is why it can give natural-looking results. This method avoids the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
• Permanent volume: While some of the injected fat may be reabsorbed by the body during the initial healing period, the fat that survives the transfer process can provide permanent volume. Typically, about 50-70% of the transferred fat cells will remain long-term.
• Minimal scarring: The incisions made during liposuction and fat injection are very small. Over time, any minor scars fade and leave no significant marks on the skin.
• Dual benefits: Fat transfer offers the added benefit of contouring the donor area through liposuction. You can gain volume in desired areas and also enjoy improved contours where the fat was harvested.
