Fat Transfer
Correct ... Contour ... Add Volume & Revive
The Terms: Fat Transfer - Fat Injections - Autologous Fat Transfer -
Fat Grafting
All refer to the process of taking fat from an unwanted area/areas of your body and re-injecting purified adipose
fat tissues into another area/areas of your body.
The goal of any fat transfer procedure is to add fullness to the area which receives the fat grafts. Fat injections are
commonly made to the face, lips, buttocks or hands. With the face, fat can be transferred to the cheeks, nasolabial
folds, jawline, and the lower eye area.
This safe, long-lasting, well-tolerated procedure produces natural-looking results.

- If You Have Facial Areas That Appear Creased & Sunken
- If You Desire More Permanent Correction Than is Provided by Temporary Fillers
- If You Wish To Improve Your Body Contour, Revise Scars, Fill Bodily Depressions & Rejuvenate Your Hands & Face
- For Use in Breast Reconstruction, To Fill in Contour Irregularities or Hide Obvious Signs of Breast Implants

Facial Fat Transfer
Graft & CorrectYour Plastic Surgeon can graft fat to minimize, correct or fill facial creases, such as laugh lines, smile lines, crow’s-feet, acne scars and sunken areas ... etc. of the face, lips, and cheeks.
Hand Rejuvenation
Plumping UpFat grafting into your hands is effective for adding volume, “plumping up” wrinkled areas, covering underlying vessels and tendons and improving the quality of your skin over time.
Buttock Augmentation
Fuller & RoundedMany people who desire a fuller, more rounded buttock will opt for a “Brazilian Butt Lift”, which uses fat transfer to provide a more curvaceous buttock without the use of an implant.
Breast Augmentation
Modest IncreaseBreast Augmentation with Fat Transfer is for you if you desire a modest increase in breast size and your breasts already have a nice shape and good skin tone. If you have poor skin, sagging breasts, or want a significant increase in breast size, breast augmentation with fat transfer is not for you.
