How Does A Fat Transfer Work?
During this procedure, you will be placed under general anesthesia. To begin, liposuction is performed on areas where you have unwanted fat using a small, specialized cannula to precisely remove the fat so it can be purified and harvested inside a centrifuge. The extracted fat will then be injected into the area of the body chosen for the transfer. This injection is performed in layers until even smoothness has been attained. Normally, numerous injections will be necessary to achieve an ideal outcome. Following this procedure, you may have swelling and bruising on both the extraction and injection sites. These side effects should decrease over a few days.

About UsFat Transfer FAQs
How much does a fat transfer cost?
Your cost for a fat transfer will vary based on a number of factors. For transfers to the butt or breasts, a higher volume of fat is required, so surgical liposuction is used, and a lengthier process is incorporated for fat purification and then graft where needed. Smaller fat transfers, like adding facial volume, take less fat and time. The volume amount needed to achieve your needs and goals will be explained in your consultation with Dr. Brian Hwang, along with pricing estimates and payment methods we accept.
Where can I have fat transferred?
A fat transfer can be performed almost anywhere on your body or face that you want volume. A few of the most popular areas are the butt (often known as a Brazilian butt lift), hands, face, and breasts. Fat grafting may be combined with breast implants or breast reconstruction to correct imperfections. Volume loss caused by aging in the face and hands may also be corrected with fat grafting, especially in the hollows under the eyes or to add shape to your lips. Be sure to tell Dr. Brian Hwang in your initial about where you want to make improvements so he can create your personal fat transfer plan.
How long will the results of a fat transfer last?
The results of a fat transfer look natural and can last for a long time with proper care. Dr. Brian Hwang uses advanced techniques to purify and graft fat, which limits reabsorption. Although there is usually a small amount of fat that doesn't attach to its new location, Dr. Brian Hwang often adds slightly more fat. If you would like to enhance or touch up your appearance after a while, a second fat transfer can be performed.
