What is Autologous Fat Transfer?
A limited amount of fat is harvested from a donor area such as the abdomen or thigh, processed and purified, then injected precisely into the target areas of the face. Some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed over the first months; what remains tends to be relatively permanent.
Who is it suitable for?

Doctors who perform Autologous Fat Transfer
Autologous Fat Transfer: frequently asked questions
Is the result permanent?
Some fat is reabsorbed over the first months; the remainder tends to settle relatively permanently.
Will I need a second session?
Some patients need a top-up once the result has settled, which the surgeon assesses at follow-up.
How does it differ from filler?
Fat is your own tissue and requires a longer procedure, while filler is quicker but temporary.
Does it leave a mark at the donor site?
The amount taken is limited and harvested through small incisions; your surgeon will explain what to expect.
