Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume, improve body contours, and rejuvenate the skin. Since your own fat is used, it offers a natural-looking and long-lasting result.
Fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or waist, processed, and then injected into the desired area.
Where Can Fat Grafting Be Used?
Fat grafting can help improve:
Hollow cheeks and under-eye hollows
Facial volume loss due to ageing
Breast shape and cleavage enhancement
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Facial scars and acne scars
Dark circles and under-eye pigmentation
Skin rejuvenation and fine wrinkles
