Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting the Minimally
Invasive Way to Rejuvenate Your Skin
At Cosmeticoplasty, we use fat grafting also known as autologous fat transfer or fat injections, to transfer fat from one area of your body to another, to restore volume, reduce creases and improve the contour. Our aim is to improve or augment the region where the fat is injected. It is a minimally invasive surgery that has captivated attention not only due to its aesthetic capabilities, but also because of its regenerative properties. We provide the best fat grafting in Lahore to offer you a safe, natural and lasting solution for a more youthful appearance.
Harvesting
The first step we take in fat grafting is to extract the fat from the donor site which is usually abdomen or thighs. We collect fat cells via liposuction, this gives you the extra benefit of removing excess fat at the donor site and enjoy a slimmer waistline in addition to skin rejuvenation.
Purification
After collecting the fat cells, we purify the extracted fat using centrifugation to remove debris, dead cells and impurities and prepare for injection.
Placement
Lastly, we carefully inject the purified fat into the area that needs improvement using a small hypodermic needle.
Recovery
Fat grafting is an outpatient procedure and we usually perform it under local anesthesia. Recovery time is short and most patients return to their normal lives right away. It is one of the most safe and effective procedure and at Cosmeticoplasty we provide the best fat grafting in Lahore to add volume for natural looking and long lasting results.
Corrective Fat Grafting Procedures
