Fat Transfers
Fat Transfers - What is it?
A fat transfer procedure is also known as fat grafting or fat injection transfers fat from body areas where excess fat exists, such as the inner thighs to areas where the volume may be lacking; for example the buttocks, breasts, face or hands.
 
From The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s Smart Beauty Guide: This safe, long-lasting, well-tolerated procedure produces natural-looking results. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful fat grafting and are pleased with the results.
How do Fat Transfers Work?
Harvesting: The patient and their surgeon will decide on an area of the body for fat removal. After a local anesthetic is applied a small incision is made in this area and by using a thin tube called a cannula connected to a syringe is inserted and then fat is extracted (liposuction).
 
Purification and transfer: Purification may require a centrifuge to spin the fat or impurities may be removed by way of a filtration process. The extracted fat is then processed for transfer by injection with small syringes.
 
Placement: The surgeon will insert a needle or cannula in the designated area for transfer. Generally, the injection needle is passed in and out multiple times and a line of fatty tissue is deposited in natural tissue creating a grid of natural fat.
 
What Areas of the Body Can Fat Transfers be Applied?
  • Hand rejuvenation
  • Facial areas such as laugh lines, crow’s feet and smile lines
  • Breast augmentation for modest increase in breast size
  • Breast implants plus fat grafting
  • Buttocks such as Brazilian Butt Lift
Compared to Synthetic Dermal Fillers:
When you use synthetic dermal fillers to reduce wrinkles and lines, there’s a chance you will experience an allergic reaction to the filler. Since your body’s fat is acting as the dermal filler in a fat transfer, there’s no chance of a similar complication. What’s more, dermal fillers break down in the body so they must be repeated every few months.

What You Need to Know

During the consultation, Dr. Marvel will examine your facial features, ask you questions about your medical history and evaluate your general physical condition. The result of this examination will determine procedures involved. For example, a Rhinoplasty involves the reshaping of the nose, while a facelift requires making an incision that follows the hairline.

I could not be more please with Dr. Marvel and his staff. After having my children I desperately needed a breast lift. I have been searching for a top rated plastic surgeon for years and I finally found that with Dr. Marvel. He is extremely knowledgeable and straightforward. I was very nervous going in for my consultation but his staff and himself answered all my questions. The day of my procedure Dr Marvel and his staff eased my concerns and walked me through everything that was going to take place. I was given aftercare instructions and the nurse called me that evening & the next day to make sure everything was going well. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Marvel and his staff. Each visit the staff is very friendly and a welcoming smiles. You will not be disappointed!

Can't say enough about Dr. Marvel and his amazing staff. He has done several procedures on me, and they are perfection. I have not had to take any pain pills, I didn't even bruise with my procedures. He is also extremely honest, if he doesn't think you need something done he will tell you that, which is unheard of these days. I highly recommend him
