What is Liposuction and Fat Transfer?

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks. Using advanced suction techniques, excess fat is gently removed through small, inconspicuous incisions. The procedure can help reshape and contour the body, giving it a smoother, more defined appearance. Liposuction is particularly effective for individuals who have localized fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, offering long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, involves taking the fat removed during liposuction and re-injecting it into areas that need volume restoration, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. This procedure uses your own natural fat, providing a safe and effective way to enhance your body’s contours without the need for implants or synthetic materials. Fat transfer can be used to restore youthful volume, smooth out wrinkles, or enhance curves, offering a more natural, customized approach to body enhancement. Together, liposuction and fat transfer create a balanced and rejuvenated appearance.

Risks and Benefits

As microsurgical free flaps, TUG and PAP flaps carry a minimal risk of complications with blood supply post-surgery. While rare, any issues may necessitate additional surgery to ensure the completion of breast reconstruction. Our plastic surgery team, with a risk of flap loss under one percent, diligently monitors blood supply post-surgery, employing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for optimal patient care.

The primary advantage lies in the creation of a warm, soft breast reconstruction using living tissue, eliminating the need for a breast implant. Patients often appreciate the flatter contour achieved in their inner thighs.
