What to Expect With Fat Grafting
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. McIntosh at our Bellevue office. During this session, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, and Dr. McIntosh will assess your suitability for fat grafting, considering factors like available donor fat and target areas for enhancement.
Choosing the Right Approach
Dr. McIntosh will tailor a personalized treatment plan based on your unique anatomy and desired outcomes. Whether aiming to rejuvenate facial features, enhance breast volume, or achieve a fuller buttock contour, the approach will be customized to ensure optimal results.
Pre-Operative Preparations
Prior to the procedure, you’ll receive detailed instructions to prepare for surgery. This may include guidelines on medications, dietary considerations, and lifestyle adjustments to promote healing and minimize risks.
Surgical Steps
On the day of the procedure, liposuction is performed to extract fat from predetermined donor sites. The harvested fat is then purified to isolate healthy fat cells, which are carefully injected into the target areas. The meticulous technique ensures even distribution and natural-looking enhancement.
Post-Operative Care
After surgery, you may experience swelling and bruising, which typically subside within a couple of weeks. Final results become more apparent over time, with the volumized areas settling into their new contours. Dr. McIntosh and his team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your recovery and maximize the longevity of your results.

What causes fat grafting?
Fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure designed to transfer fat from areas with excess volume to areas requiring enhancement or rejuvenation.
Will the results be permanent?
While some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat typically establishes a blood supply and survives long-term, providing lasting results.
What are the risks involved?
As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. Dr. McIntosh employs advanced techniques to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety.
Is fat grafting covered by insurance?
Fat grafting is generally considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider for specific coverage details
