Everything You Need to Know About Fat Transfer Procedures
In years past, cosmetic surgery was often considered a taboo, and rarely discussed freely amongst the public. However, in recent years, the conversation of plastic surgery has slowly entered the mainstream, with more and more men and women considered surgical enhancement than ever before! procedures like the Brazilian butt lift, a fat transfer method which takes excess fat from the stomach and midsection area, and transplants it to the buttocks, have become some of the most widely requested surgical enhancement procedures around. And at Goals Plastics Surgery, the top practice for plastic surgery NYC has to offer, they have performed thousands of Brazilian butt lift procedures, helping women achieve a newfound fullness, volume and well-contoured shape to their backsides. However, despite the popularity of such procedures, many are still relatively uneducated on all that the fat transfer entails. To better educate you on all there is to know about a fat transfer procedure, the team at Goals, the top practice for plastic surgery NYC has to offer, gives us this important information explaining the ins and outs of the fat transfer.
What is a Fat Transfer or Fat Grafting?
Often referred to as fat transfer, the fat grafting procedure is a fairly simple method. Essentially, fat is harvested from an area where there is excess fat such as the outer thighs, abdomen, and even the back โ then injected into areas in need of excess volume. The beauty of a fat transfer is that it can increase the volume of areas like the face and hands, or much larger areas like the breasts and buttocks. When a fat grafting procedure is performed on the face or hands, it takes the place of commonly used dermal fillers like Juvรฉderm or Restylane โ and rather than using the dermal filler compound, it uses the bodyโs own natural fat cells. This allows for some of the most natural, aesthetically-pleasing results possible through surgical enhancement.
Who Should Consider a Fat Transfer Procedure?
When it comes to fat grafting, men and women choose this method of surgical enhancement for a variety of reasons. The best candidates for a fat transfer include those who:
ยท Suffer from wrinkles, creases and lost facial volume (due to aging and other factors).
ยท Have sunken in cheeks and under-eye hollows.
ยท Want to add volume to their buttocks, using a more natural means (as opposed to โbutt shotsโ).
ยท Are looking for long-lasting, semi-permanent enhancement and rejuvenation to the face and/or body.
ยท Are looking for enhanced body shape and contours.
The Benefits of Fat Transfer Procedures
The best advantage of choosing a fat grafting procedure is that it is considered to be far safer, and generally more effective than other means of enhancement. Some of the most common benefits to this form of surgical enhancement include:
ยท 0 chance of rejection from the body. Using your bodyโs own fat means that it is a compound that the body knows naturally, and there is no chance of any allergic reactions.
ยท More natural results.
ยท Easily altered results, fully customizable.
ยท Less invasive than other means of similar enhancement.
While fat transfer procedures are definitely a huge hit these days, especially the Brazilian butt lift available at Goals Plastic Surgery, the top practice for plastic surgery NYC has in business, there are certain things patients should be aware of before making a decision. If you are getting fat transfers done on the face or hands, in place of dermal fillers โ it will definitely be more expensive, it will likely take longer, and often times it will require multiple sessions as some of the fat cells will be absorbed into the body as waste products.
