Fat Grafting
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injections, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own fat cells to enhance and rejuvenate different areas of your body. During the procedure, fat is carefully harvested from one part of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. The harvested fat is then purified and injected into areas that require volume, such as the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands.
One of the main advantages of fat grafting is its natural and long-lasting results. Since your own fat cells are used, there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection. The transplanted fat integrates with the surrounding tissues, providing a smooth and natural appearance. Fat grafting can effectively restore facial volume, improve breast shape and size, enhance buttock contours, and rejuvenate aging hands.
