fat-transfer

A fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure in which fat is removed from one area of a person’s body and re-implants it into another location. It is done to enhance patient features, smooth scars, eliminate deep lines and wrinkles, fill lips and cheeks, restore contours, and enhance nearly any area of the body to look more full and youthful.

Results To Be Achieved

Because fat transfers can be performed almost anywhere on the body, they have a wide range of uses and results. Fat transfers can help add volume to get desired results for the following areas and reasons:

  • Add fullness to the breasts and buttocks of women who’ve experienced some sagging due to aging or childbirth.
  • Fat transfers can also be used to augment those who have always had a slender build and would like a little more curve.
  • More natural and longer-lasting alternatives to dermal fillers. In this capacity, fat transfers can plump up the lips, smooth away wrinkles, and change some aspects of facial structure.
  • They can help normalize faces that look thin or bony, and they can also heighten the appearance of cheekbones and other features.

Are The Results Of Fat Transfers Everlasting?

Fat extraction from one area and re-implanted into another has a 60% to 80% survival rate for the fat cells in transfers.

How Fat Transfer Tissue Responds With Weight Gain And Loss

Weight gain, loss and distribution play a role in determining whether or not the results of fat transfers are “everlasting.” If a person has a fat transfer, then looses a significant amount of weight, it is possible that the area that received the transfer will look somewhat slimmer as well. Fat cells will react and respond the same way throughout the body, and they will swell when weight is gained and shrink when it is taken off or lost. Since the fat cells remain present even during thinner periods, though, if a woman were to get a breast augmentation through fat transfer, she will always be proportionately bigger than she was before.

Are Fat Transfers Ever Used For Reconstructive Procedures?

In general, fat transfer procedures are performed cosmetically to restore volume to other areas of the body, but they can also be used for certain reconstructive surgeries and grafting as well. For example, a woman who has had all or part of her breast removed because of cancer and mastectomy can opt to get a fat transfer instead of an implant, prosthetic, or special bra to make up for the lost tissue.

Fat transfers is preferred over the other options because it look and feel much more natural than implants or prosthetic. In addition, there are dual benefits of getting fat removal by liposuction and transfer of this extra fat at other location where it will fill the volume and give better shape

Fat Transfer Advantages

Fat transfers utilize own fat cells produced by the human body, so transitioning fat from one area to another can be less traumatic than surgeries that require synthetic materials and implants. Because the body will recognize its own fat – it has fewer tendencies to form infections to or to reject it, altogether.

The main advantages of fat transfers are that they are both more natural looking and somewhat safer than other surgeries. Fat transfer results also tend to look better longer because natural fat changes with the body as the person changes and ages, rather than remaining exactly the same size and shape throughout the aging process.

Fat transfers are one of the new ways to enlarge breasts, buttocks, facial features and even making their hands look younger and fuller.

In addition to the cosmetic benefits, fat transfers can be considered safer than implant-based augmentations.

Disadvantages Of Fat Transfers?

The problem with fat transfers is that not all of the fat that is transferred survives the process. Because the liposuction process to remove the fat causes a fair amount of trauma on a level, patients should expect that only about 60% to 80% of the fat that is transferred will survive..

What Areas Of The Body Are Most Popular For Fat Transfers?

Technically speaking, a person can get fat transferred to almost any part of the body, but some of the more popular areas are the female breasts and the buttocks. Various parts of the face are also gaining in popularity, such as the lips and cheekbones. When performed judiciously, fat transfers can not only make one or another area larger, they can also help sculpt features and smooth out wrinkles or lines.

The fat used in fat transfers can also be taken from almost anywhere on the body-as long as there is enough of it there.

Am I A Good Candidate For A Fat Transfer?

Prospective fat transfer patients should be in generally good health, with no serious chronic illnesses, heart or lung problems, or active cancers. Diabetics are generally not considered good candidates for this procedure, nor are those who are severely overweight. Older people sometimes do not get quite as good results from fat transfers because their cells are more likely to die during the process, and also because their skin is usually less elastic than with younger people.
