At Me Clinic, fat transfer is a surgical procedure performed by a specialist plastic surgeon. This procedure involves removing a patient’s fat tissue by liposuction and grafting it in the areas of the body that require augmentation.
Fat is naturally occurring and the addition of the patient’s own fat (autologous fat transfer) complements the existing fat in the body. The fat grafting procedures transferred fat provides volume that looks and feels natural and a body contour shape change.
The survival rate of the grafted fat varies for each patient. It’s important to note that results vary, and while some patients may see longer-lasting results, this is not guaranteed for every individual.
Patients have the option to discuss more reliable procedures such as volumisers or implants during their consultation as it is important to consider each procedure individually.
Fat Transfer and cosmetic surgery are some of the many options for addressing concerns such as:

Fat transfer is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves anaesthesia. The effects of anaesthesia can vary between individuals. Some people may feel drowsy after the procedure, so it is often recommended to have someone available to drive you home. You are provided with an after-hours direct number in the event you may have any questions or concerns you wish to speak to us about.
The next day or within a few days, you will need to come back to the clinic for your first post-operative check. Some patients may experience a small amount of swelling, which will gradually settle. The visibility of results can vary between individuals and may not be immediate.
Our surgeons and nurses will continue to monitor your recovery through a number of post-operative check-ups. If you have any questions or concerns during our operating hours, please call the clinic to speak with your surgeon, nurses or one of our staff members.

Can fat injections help get rid of wrinkles?
Fat transfer treatments to the face are a cosmetic procedure which can help minimise the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. During this treatment, excess fat is aspirated from an area like your buttocks, abdomen or hips. These excess fat cells are then processed before being injected into the facial area to add volume and definition.
A centrifuge is used to spin the fat to remove impurities. Because the procedure uses your own fat cells rather than synthetic filler, fat injections are an option for those who prefer a treatment using natural body substances. As with any procedure, there may be risks and benefits which can be discussed during a consultation. Body fat goals and amount of fat transfer varies from person to person. To learn more about fat injections and to discuss if this could be an option for you, please schedule a consultation with our team.
How long do fat transfer results last?
While the results of fat transfer treatments can be noticed immediately, some of the injected fat may be absorbed by your body in the first few months following the procedure. For example, results from fat injections into the face can last for years making it a good longer-term treatment option.
The results of a fat transfer procedure can vary. In some cases, the body may absorb some of the grafted fat, which could reduce the volume of the targeted part of the body. It’s not possible to determine the rate of absorption of the fat or otherwise for each patient prior to the procedure. The good news is we always remove extra fat so we can inject more fat into the targeted area if required.
The longevity of the results from a fat transfer and fat graft procedure can vary significantly between individuals. In some cases, the results may be long-lasting, but this depends on how the individual’s body responds to the procedure.
You can take steps to increase the survival rate of the grafted fat – ask your surgeon.
How long is the procedure for body and leg fat transfer?
Fat transfer to body is a procedure that involves taking fat from one part of the body and injecting it into another part of the body. It’s important to note that individual responses and results can vary greatly, and the outcomes experienced by one person do not necessarily reflect the outcomes that other people may experience.
To remove impurities, a centrifuge is used as part of the process to spin the fat before between harvesting and placement of the transferred fat. Liposuction in itself is a surgical procedure which involves anaesthesia, small incisions and a cannula to remove stubborn fat. The duration of the procedure can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the number of fat graft donor site areas and their size and location.
