Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat transplantation or microlipoinjection, is a procedure that uses your own body fat to add volume, contour, and rejuvenate various areas. By transferring fat from one area of the body to another, this technique provides a natural, versatile alternative to synthetic implants. Fat transfer can effectively enhance areas such as the face, breasts, buttocks, hands, and feet, delivering a subtle and natural-looking result. At London Harley Street Clinics, our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure safe and effective fat transfer results tailored to each patient’s aesthetic goals.

What is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure in which excess fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips through liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified, processed, and re-injected into areas where more volume or contour is desired. This technique allows for reshaping and rejuvenation using the body’s own tissue, making it a safer, natural option for patients looking for a fuller, enhanced appearance.

Where Can Fat Be Transferred?

Add natural volume to the breasts for a subtle enhancement, often used as an alternative to implants. Fat transfer can also correct asymmetry or contour irregularities.
Commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, fat transfer to the buttocks provides a fuller, shapelier appearance without the need for synthetic implants.
Restore lost volume in the cheeks, under-eye area, lips, and nasolabial folds, creating a rejuvenated and youthful look.
Reduce the appearance of veins and tendons by adding volume to aging hands, restoring a smoother, youthful appearance.
Fat transfer can provide additional cushioning in the feet for improved comfort, especially in areas affected by aging or excessive pressure.
Fat Transfer Benefits

Benefits of Fat Transfer

  • Natural Results: Since your own fat is used, results are subtle, soft, and natural-looking.
  • Low Risk of Allergic Reaction: Using autologous fat reduces the risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
  • Dual Benefit: Fat transfer provides both body contouring (through liposuction) and volume enhancement, allowing you to achieve multiple goals in one procedure.
  • Versatile: Can be used in various areas of the body to address different aesthetic concerns.
  • Minimal Scarring: Incisions are small and strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Many patients experience increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance after Fat Transfer.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While fat transfer is generally safe, potential risks include:
  • Mild swelling and bruising
  • Infection
  • Fat reabsorption (not all transferred fat cells will survive)
  • Difficulty breathing (in rare cases)
  • Uneven contour (in rare cases, may require touch-up procedures)
These risks are minimized with the expertise and care provided by our experienced surgeons.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Results from fat transfer are generally long-lasting, but some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body. Your surgeon may recommend additional sessions for optimal, permanent results.
Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relief. Swelling and bruising are common but usually fade within a few weeks.
Most patients return to light activities within a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Because fat transfer requires small incisions, scarring is minimal and generally fades over time.
Our experienced surgeons at London Harley Street Clinics are highly skilled in fat transfer procedures, using advanced techniques to ensure safe, effective, and natural results. We prioritize patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction, tailoring each procedure to meet your unique aesthetic goals.
