Welcome to BMACS Fat Transfer Procedure
At BMACS, we offer advanced fat transfer procedures designed to enhance your natural beauty by utilizing your body’s own fat. Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, involves the transfer of fat from one area of your body to another to add volume, restore contours, and rejuvenate specific areas.
What is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure that involves harvesting fat cells from areas where you have excess fat, such as the abdomen or thighs, and strategically injecting this fat into areas that may lack volume or definition, such as the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands. This technique allows for natural-looking enhancement and rejuvenation without the use of synthetic fillers.
The Fat Transfer Process
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced team. We discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your areas of concern, and determine the most suitable areas for fat removal and injection.
- Fat Harvesting: Using a gentle liposuction technique, excess fat is extracted from the donor site(s) under local anaesthesia. The collected fat is processed to isolate and purify the healthy fat cells for transfer.
- Fat Purification: The harvested fat is carefully processed to separate impurities, excess fluids, and damaged cells, ensuring that only viable fat cells are used for transfer.
- Fat Injection: Purified fat cells are strategically injected into the targeted areas using precise techniques to achieve the desired volume and contour enhancement. The injected fat integrates with the existing tissues, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Areas Treated with Fat Transfer
- Facial Rejuvenation: Restore volume to hollowed areas, enhance cheek contours, and fill in facial lines and wrinkles.
- Breast Augmentation: Increase breast volume or improve breast symmetry with natural fat grafting.
- Buttocks Augmentation: Enhance buttock volume and shape for a more sculpted appearance (Brazilian Butt Lift).
- Hand Rejuvenation: Revitalize aging hands by adding volume to reduce the appearance of veins and wrinkles.

Frequently asked questions
What is fat transfer, and how does it work?
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, involves harvesting fat cells from one area of the body (donor site) through liposuction and transferring them to another area (recipient site) to add volume, contour, or rejuvenate that area.
What areas of the body can be treated with fat transfer?
Fat transfer can be used to enhance various areas including the face (cheeks, lips, and under the eyes), breasts, buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), hands, and other body regions where additional volume or contouring is desired.
How is the fat transfer procedure performed?
The procedure starts with harvesting fat through liposuction from areas with excess fat. The harvested fat is processed to purify and prepare the viable fat cells, which are then strategically injected into the targeted areas to achieve the desired volume or contour enhancement.
Is fat transfer a safe procedure?
When performed by a qualified and experienced Cosmetic / plastic surgeon in a certified facility, fat transfer is generally considered safe. As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, which will be discussed during your consultation.
How long do the results of a fat transfer last?
The longevity of results can vary among individuals. However, a significant portion of the transferred fat usually remains in the recipient site permanently. Some reabsorption of the fat may occur initially, but the surviving fat cells tend to be long-lasting.
What is the recovery period like after a fat transfer procedure?
Recovery times differ based on the treated area. Generally, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the donor and recipient sites, which usually subside within a few weeks. Most individuals can resume normal activities after a short recovery period.
Are there any risks associated with fat transfer?
Possible risks include infection, asymmetry, irregularities, and partial reabsorption of the transferred fat. These risks are mitigated when the procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon in an accredited facility.
Can I combine fat transfer with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, fat transfer can often be combined with other procedures such as facelifts, breast augmentation, or body contouring surgeries to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancements.
Will I have scars after a fat transfer procedure?
Scarring is minimal as the procedure involves small incisions for liposuction. The incisions made for fat transfer are typically tiny and strategically placed, resulting in barely noticeable scars.
Am I a suitable candidate for fat transfer?
Ideal candidates for fat transfer are individuals seeking natural enhancement or rejuvenation, have enough donor fat for harvesting, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
These FAQs aim to address common queries and concerns individuals may have about the fat transfer procedure. Always consult with a trained cosmetic / plastic surgeon for personalized information and to assess your suitability for the procedure.
