Overview

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of the body and injecting it into another area to enhance volume, contour, and rejuvenation. This technique is commonly used to improve the appearance of the face, hands, breasts, and buttocks.

Description

Fat grafting involves the extraction of fat cells from areas where they are abundant, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then purified and processed to isolate viable fat cells. These cells are meticulously injected into the target area to add volume, improve contours, and achieve a natural, youthful appearance.

Consultation

During the consultation, Dr. Chaudhari will discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history. A thorough physical examination will be conducted to assess the donor and recipient sites. Dr. Chaudhari will explain the fat grafting process, potential risks, and expected outcomes. This is an opportunity to ask questions and ensure that your goals align with what the procedure can realistically achieve.

Procedure

  • Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the fat grafting.
  • Harvesting: Fat is harvested from the donor site using a liposuction cannula.
  • Purification: The extracted fat is processed to remove impurities and isolate healthy fat cells.
  • Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the recipient site in small, precise amounts to achieve the desired volume and contour.
  • Completion: The treated areas are gently massaged to ensure even distribution of fat cells.

After Surgery

  • Recovery: Initial swelling and bruising are expected and typically subside within a few weeks.
  • Pain Management: Mild discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
  • Activity: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks to allow proper healing.
  • Follow-up:. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Chaudhari will ensure proper recovery and address any concerns

Results

    The results of fat grafting are usually visible immediately after the procedure, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides. The longevity of the results varies, but a portion of the transferred fat is expected to survive and integrate with the surrounding tissues, providing long-lasting enhancement. Touch-up procedures may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

Complications

While fat grafting is generally safe, potential complications include:
  • Infection
  • Asymmetry or irregular contours
  • Fat necrosis (death of fat cells)
  • Cyst formation
  • Absorption of the transferred fat over time, leading to reduced volume
  • Scarring at the donor and recipient sites
Disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
