The transplanted fat cells (autologous fat grafting) result in a permanent increase in volume for the recipient sites. Exciting new advances with micro and mille fat help fat cell survival and reduce recipient site inflammation. A patient can expect a quick recovery and long-lasting volume improvement and may also benefit from adipose derived stem cell and stromal vascular rejuvenation.
The fat is placed into the recipient site using small cannulas. Since some of the fat that is transferred does not maintain its full volume over time, your surgeon may inject more than is needed to achieve the desired result. Over a few weeks, the amount of transferred fat will decrease by about 20%. Sometimes more fat may need to be transferred to maintain the desired results. Fat transfer procedures are done using a local anaesthetic and with light sedation.
