Fat Transfer Surgery

The fat transfer procedure is known as autologous fat transplantation or microlipoinjection. It involves extracting fat cells from the patient's abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or elsewhere, and re-injecting them beneath the skin of the patient’s recipient site. Fat is withdrawn from the patient in one of three ways: with a syringe that has a large bore needle or with a liposuction cannula. The fat is prepared and then injected into the patient’s recipient site.

Some of the most current and developing applications include:

• - Cheek and chin implants
• - Hands
• - Facial
• - Lip
• - Buttocks
• - Breast
• - Repair of inverted nipples
• - Increasing the girth of the penis

The best donor areas are found in:

• - The lower stomach
• - The inner thighs
• - The inner knees
