Fat Transfer

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Eau Claire and Wisconsin

When a man or woman has weight fluctuations, they lose that smooth and plump look in specific body parts where volume once resided. A terrific way to restore this lost volume is through an advanced cosmetic technique known as a fat transfer. This process removes fat from an area on the body and transfers it into a specific place that needs additional volume. A fat transfer can be used on widespread areas, such as the buttocks, or on delicate areas, such as the lips and cheeks. Fat grafting and transfers are often chosen when an individual desires a natural enhancement versus having fillers or implants. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Demaree incorporates the most effective liposuction and grafting methods for performing fat transfers. This procedure at Premier Surgical Arts creates natural-looking, appealing outcomes.

Transfer Process

During a fat transfer, you will be placed under the appropriate kind of anesthesia. The exact type of anesthesia or numbing method will be based on how much fat tissue is being extracted, including the area where it will be reinstated. A form of liposuction is completed via a small, specialized cannula to carefully remove the fat so it can be harvested and separated inside a centrifuge (which prepares the highest quality fat for syringes). After prepping the injection site, the healthy fat tissue will be added to the area chosen for the transfer. This injection is completed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained. For certain body parts, multiple injections will be necessary.

Natural Approach

If you desire fuller lips or want to fill in hollow areas or lines, this procedure may be a great option. In addition, a fat transfer is an outstanding option for the body, such as the breasts.
