What is a Fat Transfer procedure

A fat transfer procedure (also known as fat grafting) transfers fat from areas where you have excess fat, such as the outer thighs, stomach or hips, and injects it into areas that may be lacking volume, such as your face, hands, breasts or buttocks. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful fat grafting and are happy with the natural-looking results. Why get a fat transfer procedure? The purpose of fat grafting is to augment or fill in areas of your body that lack volume. If you have areas you would like to add volume to, and you have sufficient donor sites from which fat can be taken, fat transfer may be an option for you.
