What to Expect During a
Fat Transfer Procedure?
During the procedure, fat is first removed from a donor area, typically the abdomen or thighs, via a small tube called a cannula which is inserted under the skin. The harvested (removed) fat is then purified and injected into the target area to achieve the desired effect such as restore volume. The process takes about 1-3 hours and is performed under local anesthesia which is injected into the area where the fat will be removed.
Results of Fat Transfer Treatment
Results from fat transfer are visible immediately, with a noticeable enhancement in volume and contour. Over time, the injected fat integrates with surrounding tissues, providing natural-looking and lasting results. Some swelling and bruising may occur initially, but the final outcome is typically seen within a few months.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from fat transfer involves managing minor swelling and bruising in both the donor and recipient areas. You can usually return to normal activities within a few hours, though it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days. Be sure to follow our aftercare instructions to support optimal fat integration and minimize complications.
Results can last several years, although some fat may be reabsorbed over time.
Yes, it is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional, with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
