The Power of Fat Transfer
Fat transfer is a natural and non-surgical method of body enhancement that involves transferring excess fat from one area of your body to another. By using your own fat, we can enhance facial volume, restore youthful contours, and provide facial rejuvenation stimulated by your fat's stem cells. This procedure not only provides natural, long-lasting results, but it also minimizes the need for synthetic fillers, giving you a more sculpted and rejuvenated appearance.
The fat transfer process is minimally invasive, with a quick recovery time, making it an ideal option for those looking for body contouring without the risks of major surgery. At Legacy Med Spa, our experienced team uses advanced techniques to ensure smooth, natural-looking results. Whether you're looking to enhance facial features or rejuvenate your skin, fat transfer offers a customized solution for achieving the look you desire.

The fat transfer procedure is minimally invasive. First, fat is carefully harvested from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction techniques. This fat is then purified and re-injected into areas where volume enhancement is desired, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. The procedure typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the areas being treated. You may receive local anesthesia or mild sedation to ensure your comfort during the treatment.

After the procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in both the donor and treated areas, which typically subsides within a few days. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities for a week or two to allow the fat cells to settle. Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days, though full results will become visible in a few weeks to months. The results are long-lasting, with most of the transferred fat staying in place permanently, offering a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

About Fat Transfer

The Benefits of Fat Transfer
Natural Results
Dual Benefits
Long-Lasting
Minimally Invasive
Using your own body’s fat for enhancement ensures a completely natural look and feel, avoiding the risk of allergic reactions or rejection that can occur with synthetic materials like implants.
Fat transfer serves two purposes: contouring the donor area (such as the abdomen or thighs) by removing excess fat, while simultaneously restoring volume and improving the shape of targeted areas like the face, breasts, or buttocks.
Once the fat cells settle into the treated area, they become a permanent part of your body, providing results that last far longer than many other non-surgical treatments.
With minimal downtime and no need for major surgery, fat transfer offers a safe, effective alternative for those looking to enhance their appearance without the risks associated with more invasive procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fat transfer can enhance various areas of the body, including the face (cheeks, under-eye area, temples), breasts (breast augmentation or reconstruction), buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), hands (for a more youthful appearance), and body contouring (such as the abdomen, thighs, or love handles).
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the fat transfer procedure as it is performed under local anesthesia or mild sedation. After the treatment, you may feel some soreness or swelling, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Once the transferred fat has settled and integrated into the treated area, it can provide long-lasting results. Many patients enjoy permanent volume enhancement, though some fat may be absorbed by the body. For optimal results, follow-up treatments may be recommended.
