Who is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?

Because our fat grafting treatment use your own fat, it is considered safe for most patients. Two considerations for fat transfer treatments are:

  • Adequate fat stores in the donor area
  • Amount of fullness needed in the treatment area

Removing the fat from the donor area does not make a significant difference in how the area looks, so this is not a body sculpting procedure.

What is the Procedure for Fat Transfer?

The donor fat is harvested with a cannula that is inserted through a very small incision. The fat is then purified and loaded into a syringe. Dr. Ayala implants the fat in the treatment area to sculpt and add volume where desired.

What is Recovery Like After Fat Transfer?

The area where the fat is extracted my feel tender for a few days. Dr. Ayala provides aftercare instructions that detail limitations to your activities and how to care for the donor and implant areas until you heal.  Other potential complications that could arise include:

  • Bruising or swelling
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Scarring

How Much Does Fat Transfer Cost?

Each fat grafting procedure is tailored to the unique needs of the patient, so the cost varies significantly. We discuss pricing and our financing options through Prosper® and CareCredit® at the time of your consultation.
