More and more people are now choosing liposuction along with fat transfer to achieve a well-contoured and proportionate figure. Liposuction surgery whittles away troublesome fat deposits from specific areas and effectively sculpts your body. While earlier the fat removed via liposuction surgery used to be discarded, it is now being put to good use. The fat is purified and injected into areas that could use more volume. For many people, the breasts, buttocks, and face are areas that could benefit from fat grafts.

AutologousFat Transfer to Improve Shape and Volume

In a fat transfer procedure, fat is removed from an area in the patient's body where it is in excess such as the thighs or abdomen. The fat is processed and then injected into another area to enhance volume. People choose to go in for a liposuction and fat harvesting procedure for various reasons:

• Breast augmentation: Weight loss, childbirth, aging or genetic factors can result in poor breast volume. The size and shape of the breasts can also be affected by a mastectomy. Women can give their breasts more volume and a better contour by opting for a breast augmentation procedure that uses their own fat removed via liposuction surgery from another part of the body.

• Buttock augmentation: Both men and women who want a shapelier backside can opt for fat grafting post-liposuction. Buttocks that are too small, flat or out of proportion with the rest of the body can be enhanced through the procedure. Excess fat is removed from the flanks or lower back and injected into the buttocks to give them better shape and volume.

• Facial rejuvenation: Fat transfer is ideal to restore a youthful-looking face. As you age, the effects of gravity tend to take over. Your face loses volume and lines and wrinkles appear. Men and women can overcome these issues by having their own fat transplanted in various areas such as the cheeks and lips. Even scars can be treated this way.

Cosmetic Surgery via Fat Grafts – Safe, Minimally Invasive and Effective

People consider many factors when they go in for aesthetic surgery. Safety and effectiveness top the list. Liposuction with fat transfermeets both these requirements.

• The use of the patient's own fat ensures that the body does not reject it.
• Fat harvesting and transfer is much more effective and safer than implants.
• The results are also more natural looking as the fat grafts can gradually take on the look and feel of the existing tissue.
• The adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells extracted via liposuction can be cryogenically frozen and preserved for your own use later.
• Advanced technology has made both procedures minimally invasive. Both liposuction and fat grafting can be performed using local anesthesia.
• Patient trauma, bleeding and discomfort are minimal with laser liposuction.

With all these benefits, it is no wonder that more people are choosing liposuction along with fat transferto achieve their aesthetic goals. Of course, choosing the right plastic surgeon is crucial to ensure optimal results.
