What Is A Fat Transfer?

When a man or woman loses weight or moves through the normal aging process, they lose shape and fullness in certain body areas where volume once resided. A new way to regain volume that has been lost is through an aesthetic procedure known as fat grafting (a fat transfer). This process takes fat from one or more areas of the body and transfers it into another area that could benefit from additional volume. Fat transfer procedures can be performed on large areas, such as the buttocks or breasts, or on facial features, such as the lips and around the cheeks, eyes, and jawline. Facial fat transfers are commonly chosen when a patient desires a natural enhancement vs. using implants or fillers. Our aesthetic professionals are skilled at using the intuitive BeautiFill® technology, an advanced liposuction and grafting method, to minimize some of the most typical signs of aging and restore fullness by smoothing facial wrinkles and folds on your face with the transferred fat. This procedure at Magic Mirror Medspa creates gorgeous, soft outcomes. Schedule a consultation with our team in Bozeman, MT today.

What Can I Expect from A Fat Transfer?

Following this procedure, you will enter a healing period. Remember, there are two different areas on the body that need to be carefully treated: the extraction area and the injection location. The recovery process may last longer if a larger place on the body was addressed. For example, a fat transfer to the lips will generally only warrant a 1 – 2-day recovery whereas a transfer to a more vast body part, such as the butt or breasts, can take weeks longer. Each area will appear red and slightly swollen, but the results can be seen almost immediately. An additional bonus is the area that involved fat removal will look slimmer. This procedure yields great outcomes, but there will be some fat that reabsorbs back into the body. In some patients, another transfer may be needed later on. There is almost no scarring associated with this treatment.
