Fat Injection (Autologous Fat Transfer)

Natural Volume. Long-Lasting Results.

Fat injection is an advanced technique in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, using your own tissue to restore volume, improve contours, and enhance skin quality. At our clinic, the procedure is performed with precision and a refined aesthetic approach, ensuring results that are both natural and long-lasting.

This is regenerative aesthetic medicine, not simply volume replacement.

What Can Be Treated

Fat transfer is ideal for restoring volume and improving tissue quality in areas such as:

  • Cheeks and midface

  • Nasolabial folds

  • Marionette lines

  • Lips (subtle enhancement)

  • Tear trough (selected cases)

  • Temples

  • Jawline and chin

  • Skin quality (fine lines, texture, radiance)

It can also be used in reconstructive procedures where tissue restoration is required.

The Approach

A comprehensive evaluation is essential to determine suitability and optimise results.

We assess:

  • Facial volume loss and structural support

  • Skin quality and ageing patterns

  • Donor areas for fat harvesting

  • Overall facial harmony

A layered, micro-grafting technique is then used to ensure smooth integration and natural contouring.

The Procedure

Fat transfer is performed in three carefully controlled stages:

  1. Harvesting – Fat is gently collected from selected donor areas (commonly abdomen or thighs)

  2. Purification – The fat is processed to isolate healthy, viable cells

  3. Injection – Micro-aliquots are precisely placed to achieve optimal contour and survival

  • Duration: approximately 60–90 minutes

  • Anaesthesia: local ± sedation, depending on extent

  • Discomfort: minimal

Results

  • Immediate volume restoration

  • Progressive improvement in skin quality due to regenerative properties

  • Long-lasting results, with a proportion of the transferred fat becoming permanent

The outcome is a soft, natural, and biologically integrated enhancement.

Safety & Expertise

Fat injection is a highly technique-dependent procedure requiring:

  • Advanced anatomical knowledge

  • Precision in harvesting and placement

  • Experience in volume distribution

All treatments are performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, ensuring:

  • High graft survival rates

  • Natural, balanced results

  • Maximum safety

A Regenerative Philosophy

Unlike synthetic fillers, fat transfer offers:

  • Biocompatibility (your own tissue)

  • Regenerative potential (stem-cell activity)

  • Long-term structural improvement

The objective is to restore what has been lost — subtly, proportionately, and permanently.

Consultation

A personalised consultation is essential to determine candidacy and design an individualised treatment plan.
