Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting Expertise at Mercy
Fat grafting is a procedure that can restore volume to an area of your body by removing fat from one part, such as your belly, hips or thighs, and injecting it into another part. The plastic surgeons at Mercy are experts at using this method to repair scars, such as those caused by acne. They also use fat grafting to create a fuller appearance in areas such as:
- lips
- cheeks
- under eyes
- face
- hands
- breasts
- buttocks
- hips
What Are the Benefits of Fat Grafting?
Fat transfer, also known as lipomodelling, is not about the area the fat is removed from. It’s about removing enough fat cells to contour and fill the area that needs plumping.
The fat grafting procedure has the following benefits:
- Natural-looking results
- Less chance of a reaction since you’re using your own tissue and not a foreign substance
- Same-day, outpatient procedure
- Effective results on smaller parts of your body, like hands and acne scars
