What Is A Fat Transfer?

If you have lost a significant amount of weight or because of aging, you may experience decreased volume in certain parts of the body, such as the breasts, lips, cheeks, or buttocks. A new way to regain this lost volume is through an advanced cosmetic technique known as a fat transfer or fat grafting. This process removes fat from a specific part of the body and places it into another area that needs additional volume. We can perform fat transfer treatments on large or small delicate areas, such as the buttocks, lower eyelids, cheeks, or lips. Fat grafting works well for patients who prefer a natural enhancement. At Tulsa Surgical Arts in Tulsa, OK, Dr. Angelo Cuzalina uses advanced fat grafting techniques to help you attain your cosmetic goals. This body contouring treatment creates smooth and beautiful outcomes.

Dr. Cuzalina and his staff are absolutely phenomenal. They all go above and beyond to ensure the happiness of their clients. Missi, the coordinator, returned my call at 10pm because they had been so busy and she didn’t get a chance to do so. She never made excuses, nor made up a lie about it; I didn’t think anything of it, but she was honest and extremely apologetic. The day of my surgery was no different; I was treated as if I were family. Dr. Cuzalina is very professional, funny, attentive, and never rushed my appointment at all. On May 8th, he performed my breast implant removal and replacement surgery, as well as a full lift. My results are sooooo amazing. Today (06/18/2019) not only did he attend to my 6 week Check up, he performed the permanent lip filler treatment which I love. I have TMJ and my jaw doesn’t align as it is supposed too, therefore, the fuller lips will help my mouth area to not look so “off set”. I could go on and on about the greatness of Dr. Cuzalina and his team, but there simply aren’t enough pages in a notebook, nor here to do so!!! I highly recommend Dr. Cuzalina and his team for any and all cosmetic surgeries needed/wanted. They’re all AMAZING!!!!!

Who Is An Ideal Candidate For A Fat Transfer?

Patients that experience hollow, thin, or deflated body or complexion problems may benefit from fat transfer procedures. As a natural treatment option, fat transfer has become more popular because patients can attain their cosmetic goals with little concern for rejection. If you want to undergo this treatment, you should be at a certain weight and have enough fat to extract for the transfer. During your consultation with Dr. Cuzalina, he will listen to your goals, assess your condition, and create a personalized treatment plan.

How Is A Fat Transfer Performed?

When undergoing a fat transfer, we use general anesthesia or IV sedation. The exact type of sedation or numbing medication is based on how much fat we remove. It also depends on where we inject the fat, such as the buttocks or face. During the first part of your procedure, we will perform liposuction with a special cannula to extract the fat and place it inside a centrifuge. The centrifuge then separates and purifies the fat so we can place it into syringes. After prepping the injection site, the fat is injected into the treatment area, and we will massage the skin layer by layer. Until we have attained your desired cosmetic results, we may administer multiple injections.

What To Expect After A Fat Transfer?

Following your procedure, you will require some recovery time. Please keep in mind that you will need to care for and monitor two different parts of your body, including the extraction and injection site. The recovery period can take longer if we addressed a larger part of the body, such as the buttocks. Depending on the size of your treatment area, it may take 1 – 2 days or longer. Each area will appear swollen with possible bruising, but you can see your results almost immediately. Another benefit of the procedure is the area that involved fat removal will appear slimmer. A fat transfer yields beautiful and long-lasting results, but you will experience some resorption back to the body. For some patients, an additional transfer may be necessary down the road. With a fat transfer treatment, you should have almost no scarring.

Are fat transfer results natural?

When skillfully performed by an experienced professional like Dr. Cuzalina, a fat transfer can provide beautiful and natural-looking results. The injected fat cells behave just like the surrounding tissue, so they grow and change with your body over time. This means that your fat transfer results can last for many years with proper care.

Is fat transfer treatment safe?

Yes, fat transfer is considered a safe cosmetic procedure. Because the injected fat cells come from your own body, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Additionally, fat grafting has been used in cosmetic treatments for years with few side effects. Tulsa Surgical Arts can review potential risks and complications of fat transfer during your consultation.

How do I make fat transfer recovery easier?

Most people report minimal discomfort and swelling after a fat transfer. To help ensure a smooth and speedy recovery, Tulsa Surgical Arts can provide specific post-operative instructions. It is important to follow these guidelines carefully to minimize complications. We also recommend that you take it easy after treatment and avoid any strenuous activities.

Take The Natural Approach

If you want fuller-looking lips or you want to fill in hollow areas or lines, fat grafting could help you attain your results. In addition, a fat transfer works great for different parts of the body, such as the breasts or buttocks. When it comes to adding volume and fullness to the skin, patients have a variety of options to choose from. However, this treatment can help you to achieve your desired look without the expense and recovery of a more complex procedure. We invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation at Tulsa Surgical Arts in Tulsa, OK.
