Fetttransplantation

Fetttransplantation, also known as fat grafting or fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the harvesting, processing, and re-injection of a patient’s own adipose tissue to restore volume, improve contours, or enhance specific facial or body areas. The process begins with liposuction to extract fat from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips. The harvested fat is then purified to remove blood, oil, and other impurities before being carefully injected into the targeted areas.

This technique is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, such as increasing volume in the cheeks, lips, or under-eye regions, as well as for correcting contour deformities or scars. Additionally, fat transfer is employed in body contouring to augment buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift) or restore volume in the hands. The procedure offers the advantage of using the patient’s own tissue, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.

The success of a fat transfer depends on several factors, including the amount of fat injected, the technique used to process and inject the fat, and the patient’s healing response. Some of the fat may be reabsorbed over time, potentially necessitating supplementary procedures. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort at the donor and injection sites.

Fetttransplantation is generally considered safe when performed by qualified medical professionals. It provides natural-looking results and long-term benefits, although outcomes can vary based on individual circumstances. The procedure has gained popularity due to its dual benefit of body sculpting and volume restoration, making it a versatile option in aesthetic medicine.
