Recovery after fat transfer varies from person to person and depends on the extent of the procedure and the area of the body that was treated. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the fat removal and injection site. Pain and anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to help manage discomfort and reduce swelling.
The patient may also be advised to avoid strenuous activity or exercise for several weeks after the procedure to allow for proper healing. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities within a week to 10 days after the procedure, but it is important to follow the surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and recovery.
Results
The results of fat transfer can be transformative for patients, not only improving their physical appearance but also enhancing their confidence and self-esteem.
- In the face, fat transfer can restore volume to areas that have become hollow or sunken due to age or genetics, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area. This can create a more youthful, refreshed, and rejuvenated appearance.
- In the breasts, fat transfer can be used for augmentation, reconstruction, or correction of asymmetry and can provide a natural-looking result without the need for implants.
- Fat transfer to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, can create a more curvaceous and lifted appearance.
- In the hands, fat transfer can rejuvenate the skin and restore volume, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
The benefits of fat transfer extend beyond aesthetics. In addition to adding volume and contouring, fat transfer can improve the texture and quality of the skin in the treated area.
I went in for liposuction not expecting much of a difference, but I am absolutely shocked and amazed at the results. I have a waist again, and I feel beautiful and able to wear clothes I thought I’d never fit again. The Doctor and staff are so friendly and supportive. I was afraid, but they made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Lastly, the price for my procedure was so competitive. I’m am 100% satisfied with my whole experience. I recommend this team all day long!
