Fat Transfer

Fat/Nanofat Transfer in San Diego

Have you ever looked at your body and wished your proportions were different? Does one part of your body have “too much” while another has “not enough?” Do you think, “If only I could take fat from here and move it there?”

Here’s the great news: You can do it with fat grafting or a fat transfer here in San Diego. All you need to make your dream body real is a little help from the board-certified plastic surgeons at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre. With this innovative, advanced procedure, your fat is removed from one area where you don’t want it, purified, and then placed in another area where you want to add fullness or improve skin quality.

Considering Fat Transfer in San Diego? Here’s How It Works

Basically, a fat transfer is precisely what it sounds like: Your plastic surgeon transfers fat from one area of your body to another. However, the procedure is highly customizable and requires considerable skill and experience to achieve great results. Here’s how the process works:

• Harvesting: First, using liposuction, your surgeon removes fat from your pre-determined areas. In addition to removing unwanted fat, your plastic surgeon sculpts a smoother, natural shape to the area.
• Processing: Next, the fat is placed in a special machine that purifies it so the cells are more likely to survive in their new home.
• Injecting: In the final step, your surgeon injects the fat in the area (or areas) you want to enhance.

You’ll likely notice the difference right away with fat transfer. Your results will continue to improve as the injected fat adapts to its new location and post-procedure swelling subsides. Within several months, you’ll be enjoying your new, natural contours that will last for years to come.

Where Can I Transfer Fat?

Can you imagine slimming your belly or thighs while also getting a little more shape to your derriere? Could you use a slight boost in breast size without implants? Or, perhaps your face and hands could use some youthful volume while your stubborn belly has plenty to share? A fat transfer can achieve any of these goals and more.

Nanofat transfer can improve your skin nearly anywhere on your body. Whether you want smoother, firmer skin on your face, décolletage, neck, abdomen, forearms, or buttocks, nanofat transfer is a versatile, effective option.

A qualified, experienced plastic surgeon will customize your fat/nanofat transfer to address problem areas with excess fat and add volume or enhance your skin in places you’d like to boost. The result? A dramatic improvement in just a single procedure.
