What is it?

This procedure involves using patient's own fat cells as a dermal filler elsewhere on the body (usually the face), to smooth out contours or add shape to different parts of the body.

The procedure

Fat transfer involves surgery done under local anesthesia, and the treatment normally takes up to two hours, depending on the area of the body and quantity of fat involved. The surgeon makes a small cut and inserts a metal tube called a cannula. The fat is then extracted through the cannula using a needle or a vacuum pump. The fat is then sometimes washed before being injected into the new area using a needle.

The results

The treatment should result in skin being smoother or parts of the body having a fuller shape. The result however, is non permanent since the body is able to reabsorb the injected fat, meaning that you may require to do a top-up injection later on.
