Auogenous Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a procedure used to add volume to different part of the body as well as for skin rejuvenation. In this procedure fat is harvested from one area of the body then processed as macrofat, microfat, nanofat depending upon requirement and then we re-implant it where it is needed like face, breast, buttock etc. Most common site used for fat harvest is lower abdomen or medial side of thigh.

Yes, it is absolutely safe if performed by an experienced skilled plastic surgeon. The fat used is derived from same person so it is bio-compatible and allergic reactions do not occur at all.

The results are permanent but fat resorption rate may vary individual to individual which can be overcome by overcorrection or procedure can be repeated again after 3-6months if more filling or augmentation is desired.
