Fat Grafting Surgery in Islamabad
Fat grafting surgery, also known as fat transfer, is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure that uses your body fat to enhance or restore volume in various body areas. Whether for aesthetic enhancement or reconstructive purposes, this minimally invasive surgical fat transfer offers natural-looking results with long-lasting effects.
What is Fat Transfer or Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also called fat transfer, is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of your body (usually through liposuction) and injecting it into areas that need additional volume or contouring. Common areas include the face, breasts, buttocks, and hands. Because the procedure uses your own fat, it reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications, making it a safer alternative to synthetic fillers or implants.
Why Get a Fat Grafting Surgery?
There are several reasons to choose a surgical fat transfer. Patients may opt for the procedure to:
- Enhance or restore volume in the face, breasts, or buttocks.
- Achieve a more youthful appearance by filling out deep wrinkles and hollows.
- Improve body contour and symmetry.
- Address volume loss due to ageing or weight fluctuations.
- Repair areas affected by trauma, surgery, or congenital deformities.
Areas Treated with Fat Grafting Surgery
Fat grafting surgery can target multiple areas of the body, such as:
- Face: To fill in hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, or under-eye hollows.
- Breasts: For natural breast augmentation or to correct asymmetry.
- Buttocks: For a fuller, more contoured look (also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift).
- Hands: To restore volume and reduce the appearance of veins or wrinkles.
- Body Contouring: For overall shaping and symmetry enhancement.
Ideal Candidates for Surgical Fat Transfer
Ideal candidates for fat grafting surgery include:
- Individuals with areas of unwanted fat are suitable for harvesting.
- People looking to enhance volume in specific areas of the body naturally.
- Patients in good overall health, non-smokers, and without significant medical conditions.
- Those with realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s results.
Fat Grafting Surgery Complications
While surgical fat transfer is generally safe, potential complications include:
Fat reabsorption, where the body may absorb some of the transferred fat.
Fat embolism (rare but serious), where fat enters the bloodstream.
Infection at the donor or recipient site.
Lumps or irregularities in the treated areas.
Prolonged swelling or bruising.

2. Breast Fat Transfer
A natural alternative to implants, enhancing breast shape and size.
3. Buttock Fat Transfer

Things to Consider Before Getting a Fat Grafting Surgery
Before undergoing fat grafting surgery, consider the following:
- Your overall health and eligibility for the procedure.
- Whether you have sufficient fat in donor areas.
- The surgeon’s experience and expertise in fat transfer techniques.
- Realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome.
- Understanding that some fat may be reabsorbed over time, necessitates follow-up treatments.
Fat Grafting Surgery Procedure
The fat grafting surgery process involves three key steps:
- Harvesting: Fat is removed from donor areas (e.g., abdomen, thighs, or flanks) using liposuction.
- Processing: The extracted fat is purified to remove excess fluid, oils, and dead cells.
- Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the target areas in layers, allowing for precise contouring and volume restoration.
