FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT FAT TRANSFER

REVOLVETM ensures that blood, oil, and damaged cells are removed from liposuction fat so high-quality fat is ready for reinjection.
The amount of fat needed varies. Your surgeon will determine how much you need based on your individual body goals.
That depends on several factors. Some patients may need more than one procedure to get the results they want. Other patients may need just one procedure. Talk to your surgeon about your goals and discuss your expectations.
Recovery can vary depending on where the fat is being removed from and transferred to, how many areas are being treated, and how much fat is transferred. Be sure to ask your surgeon for detailed recovery information.
Fat transfer is considered an “add-on” procedure, which means it can be done as part of your liposuction procedure. Your surgeon can determine if fat transfer is right for you.
It is possible, however, this decision is made in consultation between you and your surgeon. Your surgeon will take your unique needs into consideration when recommending the right surgical plan for you.
Your surgeon may use fat transfer as part of your reconstruction. Adding fat to reconstructed areas can fill in irregularities, enhance fullness, contour, or reshape.
