The Procedure

The fat grafting procedure contains multiple steps, including:

Fat Harvesting:

A local anesthetic will be injected into the site for fat removal, and a small incision created. Then, a cannula attached to a syringe will be placed to carefully extract fat cells.

Fat Purification and Transfer:

Next, the collected fat will be processed to prepare if for transfer into syringes. This may include placing the fat cells into a device called a centrifuge, which will spin the fat to remove impurities.

Fat Placement:

A cannula or needle will then be placed into the site that will be receiving the fat cells. This may be repeated until the desired results are achieved.

This entire process usually takes 1-2 hours to complete and is done on an outpatient basis.
