Fat Grafting: Natural Volume Using Your Own Tissue

Fat grafting takes volume from areas where you don't want it and places it where you do—natural augmentation using your own body's tissue.

The Three-Step Process

1. Harvest via Liposuction

We remove fat from problem areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs through liposuction.

2. Precision Filtration

Fat is filtered to different sizes for different areas:

  • Macro fat (>2.5mm) - Breast and buttock volume
  • Micro fat (<1.2mm) - Smooth facial contour
  • Nano fat (0.6mm) - Delicate under-eye areas

3. Strategic Placement

Fat must be placed within 0.8mm of blood vessels to survive. With meticulous technique, we achieve 60%+ survival rates for long-lasting results.

Popular Treatment Areas

  • Breasts (natural augmentation)
  • Buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift)
  • Midface and temples
  • Under-eye hollows

Why Choose Fat Grafting?

✓ Natural tissue—no implants or fillers
✓ Two benefits: remove fat + add volume
✓ Long-lasting, natural-looking results
✓ No rejection risk
✓ Soft, natural feel

Is It Right for You?

Fat grafting is ideal if you have areas of excess fat for harvest and desire natural volume enhancement without implants.

Come see us to learn if fat grafting can help you achieve your aesthetic goals!
