Before
AfterFat Grafting
Restore volume naturally using your own fat for facial rejuvenation or body enhancement.
Fat grafting removes fat from one area of your body through gentle liposuction and reinjects it to restore volume elsewhere, most often the face, hands, or body. Because it uses your own tissue, results tend to look and feel natural.
Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have lost facial or body volume due to ageing or weight loss
- You want natural augmentation without synthetic implants
- You have a donor area with enough fat for harvesting
Key benefits
- Natural-looking, longer-lasting volume restoration
- Dual benefit of contouring the donor area
- No synthetic implant material involved
How Fat Grafting is performed
Identification of a suitable donor area (commonly the abdomen or thighs) and the area to be treated
Fat is gently harvested through small-cannula liposuction to preserve healthy fat cells
The harvested fat is purified and processed to separate viable cells from fluid and debris
Purified fat is carefully re-injected in small amounts, layer by layer, into the target area
The treated area is gently shaped to distribute the graft evenly
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Maintain a stable weight, since donor fat needs to be available and healthy
- Avoid smoking, which reduces the survival rate of grafted fat
- Stay well hydrated in the days before your procedure
- Discuss realistic expectations, as some grafted fat is naturally reabsorbed over time
Possible side effects & risks
- Swelling and bruising at both the donor and injection sites
- A portion of the grafted fat may be reabsorbed, occasionally requiring a top-up session
- Small risk of lumpiness, asymmetry, or fat necrosis at the injection site
- Temporary numbness at the donor site
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
