Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, has become increasingly popular in recent years. This procedure involves removing fat from one area of the body and injecting it into another to enhance volume and shape. The popularity of fat transfer can be attributed to several factors, including natural-looking results, using one's own fat, and its long-lasting effects. As it continues to be a common procedure that many plastic surgeons, including Haute Beauty Ambassador\u00a0Dr. Sachin Shridharani<\/b><\/a> perform, we sat down with the expert to discuss why body contouring patients continue to swoon over fat transfers.<\/p>\n

What is a fat transfer?<\/h3>\n

A\u00a0fat transfer<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure where a surgeon removes fat through liposuction from one area of the patient\u2019s body and carefully re-injects the fat into another desired area to improve a patient\u2019s body contour. For example, fat may be taken from the abdomen\/love handles and then re-injected into the buttocks and hip dips to provide a plumper and more youthful look. The fat is used as a natural filler\/volumizing agent. Fat can be placed in just about any location where the patient desires more volume. Popular areas that patients wish to have volumized include, but are not limited to, buttocks (Brazilian butt lift), hip dips, breasts (breast augmentation), and around the mouth, eyes, and cheeks.<\/p>\n

What is the average time it takes to recover from a fat transfer?<\/h3>\n

Each patient slightly varies in the recovery process. Recovery time differs based on the location of the fat transfer and areas where fat is harvested from. It can take 2-3 weeks for the bruising to subside and months for the final swelling to resolve.\u00a0Most patients can return to work within five to seven days after the procedure and resume most normal activities in about two weeks.<\/p>\n
