Local or general anaesthesia is given. So, you won’t feel much pain immediately but after some days,bruising and swelling will cause discomfort. Painkillers are prescribed to reduce pain.

Some of the side effects include loss of fat from the grafted area, bruising and swelling, temporary numbness, little scars that will fade through time but won’t disappear altogether, etc.

It’s recommended to take a couple of weeks off. Swelling and bruising are likely to remain for a few weeks.

Candidates who are in a good health condition can opt for fat grafting. You must have a sufficient amount of fat for the type of transfer you want. Large grafting procedures like hip or buttock augmentation need a lot of fat.

There is a loss of fat from the grafted area in the next few months. The results can only be properly gauged after 6 months or sowhen all of the fat that did not make the cut has been disposed of by the body.The fat that manages to establish itself in the grafted areas and survive after the procedure is considered permanent.

While all surgical procedures involve some scarring, fat transfer involved very minimal scarring. The cannulas or tube inserted for re-injecting fat are very small. Liposuction scars are also very tiny to the naked eye.

Most patients have enough fat to get some increase in volume, however, it entirely depends on how much you want and what your goals are. The area you want for liposuction surgery is very vital. Even if you don’t have the necessary amount needed, the results can be still be achieved. It’s all about giving shape and a perfect contour.

It depends on the type of fat transfer you are going for. Some fat transfers can be done within an hour while other bigger grafting procedures take up to a few hours. E.g.:- buttock augmentation.

It depends on the area where it is being treated, the amount of fat available, and your expectations.

You must maintain a stable weight to hold onto the best result as fat cells expand or shrink depending upon the fluctuations in weight.
