WHAT IS FAT TRANSFER?
When someone loses/gains weight or simply goes through the normal aging process, they lose that smooth and plump look in various body parts where volume was once plentiful. A new way to restore this lost volume is through an aesthetic procedure known as a fat transfer. This treatment takes fat from a section on the body where it is unwanted, and reinstates it into a specific place to provide additional volume. Fat transfer procedures can be performed on large areas such as the buttocks or breasts or on delicate areas such as the lower eyelid, cheeks, or lips. Fat grafting and transfers are generally chosen when an individual desires a natural enhancement versus having fillers or implants. Beverly Hills, CA plastic surgeon Dr. Jaime S.
