FAT TRANSFER (FAT GRAFTING)

Fat transfer involves removing fat from the patient’s own abdomen, thighs, or buttocks and transferring it to the desired areas with the help of a syringe. The method can be used to fill areas with soft-tissue loss due to trauma or previous operations, to smooth bumpy skin and enlarge e.g. breasts. The harvesting of the fat is done through a small puncture incision with the help of a needle or a cannula, using syringes or suction pumps like the Body-Jet equipment.
