Body Fat Transfer in Detroit
Fat transfer surgery, also called autologous fat transfer or fat injections, is used to enhance and sculpt the body. It’s a great way to slim down one area of your body and enhance the other. During a body fat transfer procedure, fat cells are removed via liposuction from a donor area and processed. Once the fat is processed, it is injected into an area such as the butt or breasts.
Areas to Improve With Fat Grafting
A fat transfer procedure can provide natural augmentation. When used as a facial filler, fat grafting can improve the creased and sunken areas of the face, and add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Fat grafting is also commonly used in buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) to create more curvaceous shaped buttocks. Finally, fat transfer may be an alternative to breast augmentation with breast implants. Our plastic surgeons will determine if you have enough excess fat for your desired volume.

What Are the Benefits & Risks of Fat Transfer?
There are two main benefits to the use of fat transfer to the body. The first is the reallocation of fat on the body. This allows the patient to slim down areas such as the flanks or tummy and adds that fat to the buttock, for example. The second benefit is that fat transfer is a safe and longer-lasting alternative to synthetic fillers. No surgical procedure is risk-free, and that includes cosmetic surgery like fat transfer surgery. During your consultation with Dr. Sabbagh or Female Plastic Surgeon Dr. Baca, they will review the risks so you can make an educated decision.
