What Is The Difference Between Fat Transfer And Fat Injections?

Fat transfer and injections are usually synonymous because it means you are harvesting fat from one part of the body, processing it, and then injecting it into a recipient site.

What Happens During A Fat Transfer?

Usually, liposuction to some extent is performed. The fat is then processed on the back table and then injected through cannulas. Large volumes can be used such as in buttocks or breasts. Smaller volumes are used typically in facial surgeries such as facelifts where volume is needed for a more youthful look.
