Fat transfer, also referred to as a fat grafting or fat injection, is a surgical procedure that uses fat from your own body as opposed to dermal fillers, to enhance other areas of your body. It reduces the chance of allergic reactions to foreign substances because it uses your own natural fat as opposed to a foreign substance.
Fat transfer is a highly effective way to enhance your natural features by using your own body’s tissue. The process starts with liposuction to remove fat from areas you’d like to slim down. This fat is then processed and transferred to regions where you desire more volume, such as the breasts, buttocks, or face. With fat transfer, you not only contour unwanted areas but also achieve the natural fullness you’ve been seeking.
For the face, fat transfer serves as an excellent alternative to dermal fillers, particularly for those concerned with age-related volume loss in the mid-face or lips. Unlike temporary fillers, fat transfer provides a more lasting enhancement, helping you restore youthful volume.
In body plastic surgery, fat grafting becomes a sustainable option by repurposing fat that would otherwise be discarded. During procedures like a tummy tuck, the fat removed through liposuction can be used to enhance other areas, such as the breasts or hips.
As the popularity of fat transfer continues to grow, it’s becoming a go-to solution for those who want to simultaneously remove fat from unwanted areas and improve their body’s overall appearance. To learn more about how fat transfer can benefit you, schedule a consultation at one of our Milwaukee or Madison locations.
The recovery time following a fat transfer procedure depends on your individual situation, especially since a fat transfer can be done by performing a liposuction procedure from a number of locations and transplanting that fat into many different places.
During the fat transfer procedure, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Daniel Butz and Dr. Jacob Thayer will harvest fat from one part of your body, purify it, then carefully re-inject it into areas that need augmentation the most.

It is very unlikely that laser vein treatment will get rid of facial or temporal veins due to the fact that there is such a high blood flow in these areas that the laser seldom can reduce the veins significantly to the point where you see a visible improvement. There are, however, other options depending on your skin type. One option is fat grafting which can improve the overall volume in the area and camouflage the veins so that they are less visible. Read more in our “Laser Vein Removal” blog.
Fat transfer, known as fat grafting, can enhance various areas, including
• Face: Restoring volume to cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas to achieve a more youthful appearance.
• Breasts: Providing a modest increase in breast size and improving shape.
• Buttocks: Enhancing fullness and contour, commonly referred to as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
This technique not only adds volume where desired but also refines the donor sites through liposuction
The procedure consists of three main steps:
1. Harvesting: Liposuction is used to remove fat from areas with excess deposits, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs.
2. Purification: The extracted fat is processed to isolate healthy fat cells suitable for transfer.
3. Injection: The purified fat is meticulously injected into the target areas to achieve the desired enhancement.
This method utilizes your body’s own fat, reducing the risk of allergic reactions compared to synthetic fillers.
You may be a good candidate if you:
• Seek to enhance specific areas of your body naturally.
• Have sufficient excess fat in donor sites for harvesting.
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
A consultation with our experienced surgeons will help determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Recovery times vary from one patient to another, depending on the intensity of the treatment and the areas treated. Generally:
• During initial recovery, patients may experience edema and bruising at the donor and recipient sites.
• Downtime: Most patients can resume light activities within 5-7 days, but should avoid intense activity for around two weeks.
• Final Results: Swelling subsides, revealing visible improvements over several weeks.
Our team will provide specific post-operative care recommendations to ensure a comfortable recovery.
Fat transfer involves small incisions for liposuction and fat injection, resulting in minimal scarring. These tiny scars are strategically placed and tend to fade over time, becoming barely noticeable.
Yes, fat transfer can be coupled with other cosmetic surgery procedures to improve overall outcomes. Common combinations include a facelift, which adds volume to facial areas and tightens sagging skin.
• Breast Augmentation: Combining fat transfer and implants for a more natural appearance.
• Liposuction involves contouring many bodily parts concurrently.
Discussing your goals with our surgeons will assist in developing a complete treatment plan that is tailored to your specific circumstances.
To prepare, consult with our surgeons about your goals, medical history, and expectations.
• To optimize results, maintain a constant weight and healthy lifestyle.
• Follow pre-operative recommendations from our staff, including avoiding certain drugs or supplements before surgery.
