Fat Transplantation

Home : Case Histories : Fat Transplantation

Each resource article presented to the right of this page, are individual cases that have educational value. I hope that by studying them, you too will gain insight into the challenges of our profession.

Body fat makes excellent soft tissue filler material. Fat injection (also called autologous fat transplantation or structural fat grafting) transfers fat from one part of the body to another. It can also be used to fill out depressed scarred areas on any part of the body. Fat injection may not be permanent, and may require supplement fat injections at a later date..

Technique:

The donor site (for example, abdomen, buttocks, thighs or inner knees) and the treatment site are injected with local anesthetic. Intravenous (IV) fluids are also injected into the donor site to facilitate fat collection. Fat cells are extracted through a small needle attached to a syringe. The fat is then processed to remove excess fluids and reinjected with another needle in multiple thin strands in the desired area. "Overfilling" is a necessary corrective due to fat absorption in the weeks after treatment. Fat can also be harvested during a lipoplasty (liposuction) procedure in one area of the body, and then reinjected in another.
