What is Fat Injection (Fat Grafting)?

Fat injection, or fat grafting, is a procedure where fat is harvested from one part of the body and injected into another to add volume and contour. It is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, hand rejuvenation, and body contouring. The procedure provides natural results using the patient’s own tissue, improving shape and symmetry.

Consultation Steps

  • Planning

    Consultation to identify target areas, discuss patient goals, and design a personalized fat grafting plan.

  • Pre-Operative Assessment

    Health evaluation, lab tests, and imaging if needed. Travel and accommodation support arranged for international patients.

  • Surgery Day

    Fat is harvested, processed, and carefully injected into target areas under local or general anesthesia by qualified surgeons.

  • Post-Operative Care

    Monitoring during recovery, guidance on care for injection areas, and support with accommodation or transfers if needed.

  • Follow-Up and Result Evaluation

    Results are evaluated, with advice on maintenance and potential touch-ups for optimal outcome.
