How Does Fat Transfer Work?

Just by looking at the name itself, it’s easy to have a vague idea about fat transfer. A quick Google search will tell you that it’s a minimally invasive procedure that’s done to enhance certain parts of your body by transferring fat. 

But how exactly does it work? And if you’re considering going through with it, should you? This short article should answer these questions. 

What Happens During Fat Transfer Surgery?

As the name suggests, fat transfer surgery involves the transfer of fat from one body part to another. Usually, the targeted body parts are the breasts, buttocks, cheeks, hips, lips, and even under your eyes. 

What it isn’t is a weight-loss procedure. Since you’re merely transferring fat from one part to another, it is still present in the body, and therefore, won’t cause any weight loss. 

What Are the Effects of a Successful Fat Transfer Surgery?

When done right, a successful fat transfer surgery can increase buttocks size, for one. It can also elevate cheekbones to make it more pronounced, while also reducing wrinkles. 

Fat transfer surgery can also help facial scars heal and be less noticeable, reconstruct certain parts like breasts, and create that much-coveted hour-glass shape. 

How Long Does the Effects of a Fat Transfer Procedure Last?

Fat transfer procedures are a one-time operation. However, it’s worth noting that not all the fat cells are expected to survive during the procedure. Therefore, you may not always get the exact results you are looking for. 

Another thing to consider is the amount of time before you see results. Usually, such procedures take up to six months before the injected fat cells develop. Only this time can you see the results you’re looking for, so be patient.
