Fat Grafting Services at HOPE Women’s Hospital
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring fat from one area of the body to another to enhance volume, contour, or symmetry. This procedure is sought by individuals for various reasons, including breast augmentation, buttock enhancement, facial rejuvenation, and body sculpting. At HOPE Women’s Hospital, we offer expert fat grafting services with a focus on natural-looking results, patient safety, and personalized care.Understanding Fat Grafting
Fat grafting involves:
- Harvesting Fat: Fat is harvested from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks using gentle liposuction techniques.
- Purification and Processing: The harvested fat is processed to remove excess fluids and impurities, leaving behind purified fat cells.
- Injection and Placement: Purified fat cells are injected into targeted areas to enhance volume, improve contours, or restore symmetry.
- Natural Results: Fat grafting produces natural-looking results as the body’s own fat cells are used for augmentation or enhancement.
- Customized Approach: Individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s aesthetic goals, desired outcomes, and anatomical considerations.
Indications for Fat Grafting
- Fat grafting may be considered for individuals who:
- Desire Breast Augmentation: Seek natural breast augmentation or enhancement using their own fat cells, avoiding synthetic implants.
- Seek Buttock Enhancement: Desire buttock augmentation, shaping, or contouring for a fuller, rounder appearance (Brazilian Butt Lift).
