During your fat transfer, you will be placed under some form of anesthesia to help you remain comfortable. Liposuction is completed first using a special cannula to delicately remove the fat so it can be separated and purified inside a centrifuge, which preps the viable fat for syringes. The healthy fat tissue will be added to the area of concern.

The process of injecting is completed in layers until even smoothness has been attained. Your overall recovery will vary based on the size of the areas addressed on the body, and larger areas may require longer healing. As an example, a fat transfer for lip enlargement will typically only require a 1 – 2-day recovery whereas a transfer to a more vast body part, such as the breasts or buttocks, can take many more days.

It’s important to keep in mind that you’ll have two areas of the body healing: the area involving liposuction and the injection sites. These areas will appear red and slightly swollen, but the results can be noticed pretty quickly. This procedure yields awesome and long-lasting results, but there will be some fat that reabsorbs back to the body. There is almost no scarring that is noticeable with this procedure.

If you are looking to get fuller lips or want to increase the size of your buttocks or breasts while also reducing fat on an area, like your abdomen, thighs, or arms, a fat transfer at Ageless Aesthetics may be a great solution. This procedure can help you to achieve the look you want without having to undergo an invasive surgery that requires a long downtime.
