Learn about a fat transfer, and how it works.
A fat transfer, which also may be referred to as a fat grafting, is a great way to enhance the curves of your body.
If you are undergoing a fat transfer, the first stage collects the fat from some area of your body through liposuction. Next, the fat is put through a filtration process, during which it is cleaned thoroughly and purified—preparing it to be injected back into the area of the body you want to be enhanced—usually the breasts or buttocks.
One of the most popular types of fat transfer procedures performed by your Redwood City cosmetic surgeons is a Brazilian butt lift. This is a large-volume fat transfer that transports fat to your buttocks. Once the procedure is complete, your buttocks will appear rounder, fuller, and more shapely. that moves fat from one or more areas on your body to your buttocks. Using a similar procedure to that of breast fat transfer, buttocks fat transfer can make your buttocks look rounder, fuller, and more shapely, while also minimizing sagging.
Breast fat transfer offers a means to augment the fullness of breasts, without more intensive procedures such as implants or breast augmentation surgery. A breast fan transfer can be useful in specific situations where the breasts appear asymmetrical.
We also can perform a facial fat transfer, which is performed to address the loss of volume in the cheeks, the jawline, or around the eyes.
Find out if a fat transfer is right for you.
In order to be a good candidate for any type of fat transfer procedure, you have to have available “donor sites”, meaning your body has pockets of excess fat, which may be located in the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. A good candidate for fat transfer should not smoke, so if you use tobacco and are considering this procedure, you need to quit. A reputable cosmetic surgeon also will evaluate your entire medical history before beginning work on any procedure, so as to identify any pre-existing condition that may lead to complications.
