Autologous Fat Grafting

Autologous fat grafting or fat transfer takes fat from one part of your body and injects it into another. It is an effective option to help address age-related changes and volume loss in your face or to help sculpt other areas of your body.

The Procedure

Autologous fat grafting begins with liposuction of another area of your body that may have a little extra fat to spare, typically your inner thigh, abdomen, or love handles. The extracted fat is refined and reinjected into the treatment area. You may experience redness, slight discomfort, and swelling at the injection site immediately afterward. Within two to three weeks, you should be able to resume normal activities, including a return to work. Your final results should be soft and natural looking and can last up to several years.
