Fat transfer enhances volume naturally using your body’s own fat. Here’s what to consider:
Common areas include face, breasts, buttocks, or scar correction.
A skilled surgeon ensures proper harvesting and transfer for lasting results.
Benefits include natural enhancement. Risks may involve uneven absorption or swelling.
Recovery takes 1–2 weeks. Wearing compression garments may be advised for donor areas.
Any healthy individual above 18 years of age, who wants a fuller face or hands, or wishes to enlarge the breasts or hips using their own fat, can consider fat grafting. However, the candidate must have sufficient fat in other areas of the body, usually the tummy or love handles. Still confused? Book an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon right now.
Recovery after fat grafting usually takes 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising generally subside within 2–3 weeks. Final results can typically be seen after 2–3 months. In some cases, more than one session may be required to achieve the desired results.
Preparation for fat grafting includes:
• Getting a consultation (physical or online).
• Clearing all doubts and queries before surgery.
• Completing blood investigations (baseline or as suggested by the doctor).
• Trusting the process and maintaining realistic expectations.
Fat grafting is usually done under local anesthesia (for face, hands, or labia), which means the donor site (tummy or another area where fat is harvested) will be numbed, keeping you pain-free and relaxed. Sometimes, mild sedation is also preferred. However, if fat grafting is performed for breast or hip enlargement, general anesthesia is recommended.
