What is a Body Fat Injection & Fat Transfer procedure?
Fat injection, also known as fat transfer or fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat to enhance volume, improve contours, and create more balanced proportions.
Dr. Salim AYOUB develops each fat transfer treatment plan according to the patient’s anatomy, available donor fat, and aesthetic goals, with a focus on natural-looking and proportionate results.
Fat is usually collected through liposuction from selected areas of the body, carefully prepared, and then transferred to the desired treatment area.
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses transferred fat to enhance the shape, projection, and overall proportions of the buttocks.
Dr. Salim AYOUB carefully evaluates body proportions and available donor areas to develop an individualized body contouring plan.
Fat injection can be used to add volume around the hip dips, helping create a smoother transition between the waist, hips, and thighs.
The objective is not simply to add volume, but to create a more harmonious overall silhouette.
For selected patients seeking a subtle increase in breast volume, fat transfer to the breasts may provide an alternative or complement to breast implants.
Dr. Salim AYOUB evaluates breast shape, existing volume, skin quality, and available donor fat before recommending the appropriate approach.
Loss of volume in the hands can make veins, tendons, and underlying structures appear more prominent.
Fat grafting can restore volume to the back of the hands and create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Fat injection may also be considered for selected areas around the bikini region when additional volume or contour improvement is desired.
Treatment is personalized according to the patient’s anatomy and individual goals.
Fat transfer combines liposuction and volume enhancement in one treatment approach. Fat can be removed from areas where it is unwanted and carefully transferred to areas that may benefit from additional volume.
Because the procedure uses the patient’s own fat, results can look and feel natural when performed for the right candidate.
During your consultation, Dr. Salim AYOUB will evaluate:
A personalized surgical plan is then developed based on your anatomy and goals.
Fat injection, or fat grafting, is a procedure in which fat is removed from one area of the body using liposuction, processed, and transferred to another area to restore or enhance volume.
Depending on the patient and their anatomy, fat transfer may be used for the buttocks (BBL), hip dips, breasts, hands, and selected areas of the bikini region.
Candidates generally need enough donor fat for liposuction and should be in suitable overall health for surgery. Dr. Salim AYOUB determines candidacy after a full consultation and physical assessment.
For some patients seeking a modest and natural-looking increase in breast volume, fat transfer may be appropriate. Patients looking for a larger increase may require breast implants or another surgical approach.
