Understanding fat grafting
Dr. Dimitrios Motakis and his team in Toronto, ON describes fat grafting as the removal of fat from one area and injection of it in another. This is a great way to target two or more areas of the body during one single procedure. Patients can improve their contours with liposuction of the midsection, upper arms, thighs, or other problem area, and utilizes this fat where it is needed. The process is fast, effective, and provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Who is a candidate for fat grafting?
Any patient who has fat somewhere on the body that they would like to reduce, and areas where added volume is needed, such as the face, breasts, or even the hands, fat grafting might be appropriate for that individual. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations as to what can be achieved with this nonsurgical contouring approach.
What to expect during fat grafting
The entire procedure is done in approximately one to one and a half hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Liposuction is used to remove unwanted fat from one area of the body, and this fat is then purified and processed. Then, it is microinjected into the areas patients need to add volume. It is done in a way to ensure even distribution for a natural finished look.
