About Fat Grafting (overview)

Fat Grafting or Fat Transfer is a type of aesthetic surgery that is growing in popularity day by day. Most people don’t have fat in the right places. This technique helps in improving the physical appearance of a patient by harvesting fat from the excess portions of the body and incorporating it into the portions that need the fat. Common examples include reshaping hips, breasts, etc., changing the contours and volume of the face, smoothening the depressions in the stomach or breasts, etc.

Generally, the hip, abdomen, and thighs are considered to be places where excess fat is deposited. The results of Fat Grafting are quite satisfactory. It is minimally invasive. The technique involves extracting pockets full of adipose fat by a method called liposuction, processing the fat, and then administering thepurified anddecontaminated fat into the concerned area or areas.

Treatment Procedure

Everything depends upon the number of areas that need to be treated and the quantity of fat that needs to be dealt with. Your surgeon will choose from a number of different types of anaesthesia (both local and general).

Through tiny incisions, the fat is sucked out with the help of a cannula connected to a syringe. The sutures close the wound and dressing is applied. The fat goes through a special system where blood and other bodily fluids are squeezed out of it. This process is of purification of fat involves theuse of a centrifuge to spin fat.

While injecting the fat into the concerned area or areas, stitches are generally avoided, as the tiny holes on the skin are used.Your surgeon will insert specially designed needles or cannula. This passes through the area multiple times, and each time it unloads a host of fatty tissue parcels in the designated places. This process will continue until your surgeon is content with the end result. The grafted areas need massaging to get the perfect shape and contour.

In some cases, your surgeon might deliberately deposit extra fat. This is because some of the fat gets wasted as they are absorbed by the body when they don’t make it to the blood supply.

Preparations to take before the procedure

You must consult an expert surgeon for fat grafting surgery. The discussion with him must be candid.Your surgeon would want to know your goals and expectations from the surgery. He will decide if fat grafting is at all needed or not or another procedure would suit your case more. Your surgeon would need to know your medical history, previous surgeries (if any), addiction to smoking and drinking, use of herbal supplements, etc.

You are recommended to bring several photographs of you at an earlier age. That serves as a basis for comparison. Your surgeon needs to evaluate the elasticity of your skin.

After the procedure (what to expect, recovery, and results)

The liposuction surgery results in the incisions on the skin whereby harvesting of fat is done. The injection of fat, however, is minimally invasive. The recovery period is brief, around one to two weeks of rest. Pain medications are prescribed by your surgeon to alleviate the discomfort caused by bruising and swelling.

The grafted fat takes time to assimilate with the system. After 6 months or so, you can expect to see the full effects of the surgery.
