What Is Fat Grafting?

How It Works, Benefits & Results Explained

Fat grafting—also known as fat transfer or autologous fat transfer—is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate the skin. It is widely preferred for patients seeking natural, long-lasting results.

What Is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting is a two-in-one procedure that involves:

Fat Removal: Fat is gently removed from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.

Fat Injection: The purified fat is injected into areas needing volume or correction.

Since the fat comes from your own body, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely low.

How Does Fat Grafting Work?

Step Description
Fat Harvesting Fat is gently removed from areas like abdomen, thighs, hips, or flanks using liposuction.
Fat Processing The fat is purified to retain only healthy, viable fat cells.
Fat Injection Fat is injected in small layers to ensure natural appearance and long-term survival.

The procedure may be done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area.
