What Is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves removing fat from one part of the body—typically from areas such as the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen—and then purifying it so that it can be safely and effectively transferred to another area that may lack volume or definition, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. Fat grafting offers a natural alternative to artificial implants. Fat grafting is a highly customizable procedure that can target any body part to enhance shape and alter body contours. Those with a leaner build may not be eligible for this procedure.

If you do not have sufficient body fat for fat grafting, we can offer alternative body contouring techniques. Dr. Rogers will be happy to discuss the options for implants or fillers. You may also consider off-the-shelf treatments such as Sculptra or Renuva. Thanks to his extensive training and board certification, Dr. Rogers is adept at a range of body contouring procedures that can be directly applied to your gender confirmation surgery. He’s spent years earning a reputation for results that not only meet his patients’ expectations but go over and beyond them, and he is excited to learn more about how he can help you. If you’re ready to get started, reach out and set up your consultation today.

Is Fat Grafting Right for Me?

Fat grafting is generally suitable for people who are in good health and have specific concerns related to volume loss or contour irregularities in certain areas of the body. Ideal candidates for fat grafting typically have sufficient fat deposits elsewhere in the body to serve as donor sites. Some specific examples of individuals who may be good candidates for fat grafting include those who want to enhance the size or shape of their buttocks or breasts, individuals with facial volume loss, people with scarring or contour irregularities, and patients who have undergone previous cosmetic procedures.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Rogers will assess your physical characteristics and help you decide whether fat grafting is the ideal choice for you. We offer a wide variety of body contouring procedures here at Leif Rogers, MD, and we’ll enjoy guiding you to the treatment option that will create your preferred cosmetic outcome.

Your Fat Grafting Experience

Fat grafting is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's individual needs and preferences. Dr. Rogers will help you understand the details of your anesthesia during your consultation.
The duration of your personalized fat grafting procedure can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the areas being treated. In most cases, the procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours to complete, after which you’ll be able to return home.
