Fat injection or grafting is a technique that is growing in popularity. Fat is one of most well-tolerated fillers available to aesthetic surgeons, and thus has broad applications in cosmetic surgery. It is natural-appearing, lasts a long time and is safe because it comes from your own body. It is an effective filler used for changing body contour, revising scars, filling depressions created by liposuction, and rejuvenating the face and hands to replace volume to tissues where fat has diminished. Buttock augmentation is a popular method of fat transfer.
Fat grafting usually involves harvesting fat from one part of the body, washing/ purifying it, and the carefully re-injecting it with specially designed needles into the areas requiring augmentation. The procedure may need to be repeated several times to achieve the desired result.
