What to Expect

Your initial consultation will establish your fat grafting goals and expectations. Your surgeon will discuss all surgical and nonsurgical options so that you can make the best possible choices for yourself. Most women are suited to undergo fat grafting procedures, although there are some situations in which it isn’t appropriate. Your surgeon will create a personalised treatment plan that takes your unique circumstances and anatomy into account.

The fat grafting operation involves three steps. First, fat is harvested by liposuction from an area where there is excess — often the buttocks, thighs or abdomen. Low suction is used to prevent damage to the fat cells. When the collection process is complete, fat cells are separated from surrounding liquid. This purification process ensures there is an ample supply of clean and healthy fat cells to be used in the transfer. In the final step of the procedure, the fat is injected into the areas where more volume is desired.

Our surgeons aim to achieve a final look that reflects their patients’ personality and never looks overdone. Fat grafting results feel soft and natural. Because the fat is transferred using a thin cannula, there is also virtually no scarring. The finished product is all you, without any artificial enhancements.

Common Areas

Two types of fat grafting are popular with our Asian patients:

Fat Grafting Breast Augmentation

Breast fat grafting is an implant-free approach to breast augmentation that excels in achieving an ultra-natural look and feel that others may never know has been enhanced. It is often less stressful on the body than implant augmentation, which means recovery is relatively fast and discomfort is dramatically reduced, especially compared to that experienced with submuscular implants. Breast fat grafting also eliminates the potential for implant complications and the need for replacement implants. The results are essentially permanent once the transferred fat cells develop a steady blood supply within the breasts.

Facial Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is ideal for volumising and shaping the face around the eyes, jawline and cheeks. Facial fat grafting can correct volume loss and wrinkles in older patients and can be used to improve proportions and harmony in younger patients. The volume enhancement can last far longer than dermal fillers and, because there is no foreign material, it can be an excellent solution for people who are sensitive or allergic to filler products. Facial fat grafting can be used in tandem with other facial rejuvenation strategies such as a facelift or blepharoplasty for enhanced results.
