Fat grafting is a surgical procedure involving the transfer of fat from one area of the body to another. At Beleza Plastic Surgery, Dr. Anna Wooten has seen this procedure gain significant popularity in recent years. Dr. Wooten has been performing fat grafting for many years, and recent innovations have made the procedure even more attractive to potential patients. Dr. Wooten’s most popular fat grafting procedure by far is Fat Transfer to the Breasts, then fat grafting to the buttocks and fat transfer to the face take second and third place, respectively.
Fat Grafting to the Breasts
Breast augmentation is by far the most popular plastic surgery procedure Dr. Wooten offers and not every woman wants implants. For women who like their existing shape, and just want to add volume ‘naturally,’ fat transfer surgery can be a wonderful solution. One reason why patients like fat grafting is because it produces an extremely natural-looking (and feeling) result. Fat absorbs into your own tissue so, once healed, there are barely any signs that a surgery was done.
Fat Transfer to the Buttocks
Fat integrates seamlessly with the surrounding tissues, providing a more harmonious and balanced shape. Dr. Wooten can use a patient’s own fat to enhance the overall shape and size of the buttocks, but also to contour any irregularities. She can use it to fill divots and ‘hip dips’ as well for a shapely outcome.
Fat Transfer to the Face
Unlike temporary fillers that require repeated treatments, fat grafts can offer long-lasting results. This is one reason why some men and women opt for fat grafting to the face with Dr. Wooten to volumize cheeks, lips, and temples. The transplanted fat cells often survive and thrive in their new location, contributing to a more permanent enhancement. This durability makes fat grafting a cost-effective option in the long run, when compared to injectable HA fillers. Dr. Wooten also often incorporates fat grafting into face and necklift procedures for many patients, giving them a long-lasting rejuvenation.
In addition to its longevity, facial fat grafting also has a rejuvenating anti-aging effect. The transplanted fat has a stem-cell-like regenerative effect and can help to restore a youthful appearance wherever it is grafted. This natural approach to rejuvenation aligns with the growing trend towards minimally invasive and all-natural cosmetic procedures.
