There’s not a more natural way to enhance your appearance than with tissue from your own body. Referred to as fat transplantation, fat transfer, fat grafting is the organic way to enhance your beauty. This treatment provides a versatile solution that can improve the appearance of the face, buttocks, and breasts.
Fat Grafting (also known as Fat Transfer) is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess fat from one part of the body and injecting it into another area that requires volume enhancement. The harvested fat is typically taken from areas such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs using liposuction techniques. The fat is then processed and purified before being injected into areas that lack fullness, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks, to create a more youthful and natural-looking appearance.
Fat Grafting is widely popular because it is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide long-lasting results without the need for artificial fillers or implants. It’s a versatile method that can be used for various aesthetic and reconstructive purposes, making it a popular choice among both men and women.
Orlando Fat Grafting from Soma Plastic Surgery in Lake Mary offers several benefits to patients, which include:
Your face is a very important aspect of your appearance. Wrinkles and lax skin can make you look aged, fatigued, sad, or angry. The treatment adds youthful volume, smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
Common areas for facial fat grafting include:
Whether genetics, pregnancy, or weight changes gave you a flat or unshapely derriere, fat grafting can improve your lower-body contours. Dr. Papanicolaou can further accentuate your bottom by removing donor fat from strategic areas around your buttocks, such as your waist, muffin top area, and thighs.
As an alternative to breast implants, your doctor can enlarge your breasts and improve shape more naturally and less invasively using your own fat. Benefits include very little to no scarring and a quicker recovery than with breast augmentation using implants.

The first step to determine if Fat Grafting is the right procedure for you is to schedule a consultation at Soma Plastic Surgery.

Fat grafting procedure may involve local or general anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat transferred.
Dr. Papanicolaou will begin by using liposuction to carefully remove fat cells from those areas of your body with a little extra fat. Donor sites include typical problem areas such as your abdomen, love handles, and thighs. Fat removed during breast reduction or tummy tuck may also be used. Then Dr. Papanicolaou purifies the removed fat cells and injects them into the area of desired enhancement.
Treatment will likely result in temporary swelling and bruising. All swelling should subside after about one to two months, at which point your physician will assess your results to determine whether you would benefit from repeat treatments.
Patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling for about one week, although these side effects usually subside on their own. The final result is usually appreciated in four weeks. The donor site where the fat is harvested from may have minor swelling and bruising which may last for about one week.
Most patients can return to work and other normal activities within one to two days after the procedure, although exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for a bit longer. Recovery from full-face fat grafting and the other combined procedures may take longer.
Depending on the amount of fat injected, patients may require multiple treatments over time to maintain their desired results though fat is long-lasting.
