WHAT IS
FAT TRANSFER?
With fat transfer, or fat grafting, your plastic surgeon may use liposuction to take fat from an area of your body where you have enough fat, then transfer it to another area of your body. Fat transfer may be used for both aesthetic and reconstructive purposes for body contouring or to shape various areas of the body.
WHY SHOULD
LIPOSUCTION FAT BE CLEANED?
The fat removed through liposuction needs to be cleaned and prepared before it’s reinjected to remove elements like blood, oil, and damaged cells. Laboratory studies have shown these substances may cause inflammation.
There are various methods your surgeon may use to prepare the fat.
However, important factors to consider about the method used are that it's:
STERILE
Involves a sterile, closed system that reduces exposure to contaminants.
EFFICIENT
Is efficient to save time in the operating room.
RELIABLE
Consistently removes contaminants for high-quality fat.
IS FAT TRANSFER
RIGHT FOR YOU?
Before you undergo a fat transfer procedure, your surgeon will want to ensure:
- You’re in good health
- You have enough fat to transfer
- Your goals are realistic for your body type
Your surgeon will help you decide whether fat transfer is right for you.
Talk to your surgeon to learn more about fat transfer.
