Fat Grafting

Moving fat from one place in the body to another can provide significant benefits at both the donor and the recipient sites. Performing this procedure on the buttocks is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift. Enhancing the breasts can even cause as much as a full cup size increase with a fat grafting procedure. The face is also a popular area to which to graft fat. Fat and the surrounding stem cells can rejuvenate surrounding skin and tissues as well as volumize, lift and tighten the area. Plus, the contour of the donor areas are significantly improved. Read about the procedure below and call Dr. McIntosh’s office to schedule your initial consultation today.

How is Fat Grafting Performed?

A fat grafting or fat transfer procedure begins with liposuction to one or more areas of the body where there is excess fat that can safely be removed. The second part of the procedure involves injection of concentrated fat cells into the areas of the body that need additional volume, lifting and tightening. The entire procedure is performed through incisions less than the width of your smallest fingernail. Swelling and bruising subside after a couple weeks, and the final result of the volumized area can be seen after one year.
