Fat transfer is a procedure in which fat tissue taken from your own body is specially processed and then injected into the face, buttocks, hips, hands or other areas of the body. Also known as lipofilling, it is one of the most frequently chosen techniques in aesthetic medicine for adding volume in a natural, safe and long-lasting way.

Fat transfer is a safe method widely used in both facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
03Procedure Steps
- Fat is harvested from an area your surgeon considers suitable.
- The harvested fat goes through a special filtering and purification process.
- The resulting high-quality fat cells are injected into the target area with fine cannulas.
- Local or general anesthesia is chosen depending on the area being treated.
- Results can be seen shortly after the procedure.
04Fat Retention Rate
Part of the transferred fat is gradually absorbed by the body. On average, 60–80% of it is permanently retained. If needed, a small touch-up can be done after 6 months.
05Key Benefits
- Uses a natural filler material
- No risk of allergic reaction
- Adds natural volume to facial and body contours
- Improves skin quality
- Delivers long-lasting results
- Reduces fine wrinkles
- Corrects hollow and asymmetric areas
Because fat tissue is rich in stem cells, it also has a strong skin-rejuvenating effect.
06Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?
- People who have lost volume in the face
- Those who want fuller buttocks or hips
- People who prefer a natural material
- People with depressions under the skin or scar problems
- Those who have been unhappy with synthetic fillers
- People with enough fat tissue on their body
- Fat transfer is a suitable method for anyone who wants natural-looking results.
07Recovery After Fat Transfer
- Mild edema and swelling may last for the first few days.
- The final results settle in within 2–3 months.
- The effect is long-lasting
- The treated area may feel slightly tender afterwards, but this soon returns to normal.
