Discover more about what fat grafting is and its benefits
Fat grafting refers to the procedural transfer of fat from one part of the body to another. Fat is taken from an area of excess fat like the abdomen or thighs and injected into areas that lack volume, such as the face, hands, breasts, or buttocks. Fat grafting is also referred to as fat transfer or fat injection. It is a long-lasting procedure that is also well tolerated.

What can I expect from fat grafting?
Because fat grafting utilizes fat from your own body, it is the most long lasting and natural source of filling material available as it is replacing “like with like.” If you wish to improve the overall contour of your body, rejuvenate your hands and face, or revise old scars, fat grafting is a minimally-invasive and safe option.
What are the most common fat grafting procedures?
Fat transfer to the face, hands, breasts, and buttocks are among the most common types of fat grafting procedures. Fat grafting is also used as a method of breast reconstruction – to correct for depressions caused by a lumpectomy or enhance the aesthetic outcomes of total breast reconstruction after mastectomy. While fat grafting alone is an option for total breast reconstruction following mastectomy, it is generally a process that requires at least two to four separate fat grafting procedures.
What can I expect in terms of scarring?
The scars for fat transfer are minimal to none. The incision used to harvest the fat from the donor site is generally only a few millimeters in length and can be concealed easily. The canulas used to inject the fat are even smaller, require just a small puncture through the skin to insert, and do not require sutures to close so generally scars in the recipient site cannot be identified. A board certified plastic surgeon is specially trained to analyze your unique body composition in light of your desired outcomes and will be able to give you a thorough consultation addressing specific outcomes.
Our Approach and Expertise
At The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced procedures to restore youthful volume, enhance natural contours, and achieve long-lasting aesthetic results using your body’s own tissue. Also known as fat transfer, this highly customizable technique allows our experienced plastic surgeons to sculpt and rejuvenate with precision and artistry.
This treatment involves gently harvesting fat from one area of the body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—purifying it, and then strategically injecting it into areas that need volume restoration or enhancement. Common treatment areas include the face (cheeks, under-eyes, temples), hands, breasts, and buttocks. Because the procedure uses your own fat, it is biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reaction and offering natural-looking results.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons take a personalized approach to every fat grafting procedure, carefully considering your goals, body proportions, and long-term outcomes. Whether you’re looking to restore facial volume lost to aging, correct contour irregularities, or enhance body features with a more natural alternative to implants, we work with you to create a balanced, harmonious result.
With a commitment to safety, artistry, and innovation, The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery is proud to provide expert fat grafting in a supportive, state-of-the-art setting. Your confidence and comfort are our highest priorities—from consultation to recovery. From cosmetic enhancements to medical dermatology, The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery is your trusted skin health partner.
