Fat Transfer

Fat transfer is the use of one’s own fat as a soft tissue filler to add volume and contour to specific areas of the body. Fat is generally harvested from the abdomen, knees, or thighs and its removal for transfer often improves contour in these areas. I am asked commonly to reinject fat into the face, including the lips, beneath the lower eyelids to fill hollows, along the brow, and to fill the cheeks and jawline, including the chin area and angle of the mandible. Fat transfer is also commonly used in the rest of the body to add volume and shape to the buttocks, (Brazilian Buttock-Lift) and breasts, and to remedy contour irregularities from previous liposuction, most commonly in the thighs.
