In this blog, we will teach you a little bit about Fat Grafting, the areas of the body that can be applied, and, most importantly, how long the results obtained will last.
What is fat grafting?
Fat grafting or fat transfer is a plastic surgery procedure in which a qualified doctor performs liposuction on a specific area of your body to remove the excess of fat. Then, this fat is separated from blood and other fluids to be grafted through a needle, with microinjections in the desired part of the body to add more volume and a more defined silhouette.
What parts of the body can receive the Fat transfer?
This technique can be applied in the following regions, to get the desired appearance:
Face
Fat transfer is used to reduce expression lines, wrinkles, give volume to the cheeks, and improve the harmony of the face.
Breast
Fat can be placed on the breasts to increase volume, behind the breast implants, to give a softer and more natural look, and also correct some deformation
Buttocks
Fat transfer is used to correct the size of the buttocks or increase their size. Even to lift it, the surgeon can also enlarge the thighs to make them look more harmonics with your new shape.
Vagina
The Fat transfer to the vagina is done for cosmetics purposes of recovering the lost volume and returning the youthful appearance.
Fat transfer to arms, legs, and chest

How long does fat grafting last?
The results of fat grafting may vary from person to person. Still, when a certified plastic surgeon performs this procedure properly, results are permanent.
The areas where the fat is applied will look more prominent with a youthful appearance.
The survival of the fat and the duration of your results will depend on different reasons. The technique of the surgeon to obtain the fat, the process of purification after the fat is collected, and how the fat is transferred.
Fat survives best when it is placed into areas with abundant blood supply. That is why the fat transfer to the face is so successful because our face is so well vascularized that allows the fat to survive to give you long-lasting results.
However, this doesn't mean that all the fat will survive on the same level, or rejuvenation will be maintained forever. As time goes on, patients may want to consider additional treatments to continue looking youthful.
Despite these disadvantages, fat transfer is a natural option to enhance facial appearance, and most patients are happy with their results!
Results after Fat Transfer to the body are permanent, but it is very important to maintain a healthy weight.
The injection of fat cells into the body is permanent because the transplanted cells develop their own blood vessels to survive. The body assumes that the fat was produced for itself and then keeps it, rather than trying to eliminate it.
Not all of the transferred fat cells are going to survive. Around 70% of the transferred fat will remain, while the body absorbs 30%. This occurs the first weeks after surgery when the injected fat cells have not yet settled. After the formation of the blood vessels, the transplanted fat cells will remain, so the results become permanent.
