What Is Involved in Fat Grafting to the Buttocks and Hips?
Fat grafting is a three-step procedural process that yields natural-looking, complementary results. Here are the steps Dr. Noland will use to perform your fat grafting procedure.
Harvesting Fat
During your consultation, Dr. Noland will discuss possible donor sites on your body from which she will remove unwanted fat. These areas generally include the abdomen, back, or flanks. A local anesthetic will be injected into the chosen donor area, then Dr. Noland will create small incisions for fat removal. Using a thin tube called a cannula, Dr. Noland uses strategic liposuction to carefully extract the donor fat.
Purification Process
Once enough fat has been extracted from the donor site, Dr. Noland will process the fat through a centrifuge, which removes impurities from the fat cells. Once the fat is cleansed, it is transferred to a series of small syringes that will be used for the augmentation process.
Transfer and Placement
Dr. Noland strategically inserts a needle into the area receiving the graft. The fat injection needle is passed in and out of the area to distribute the transplanted fat evenly. Every time the needle is withdrawn, a line of fat is deposited in planes that resemble natural tissue. This process is repeated until the desired enhancement and contour have been achieved. Once the procedure is complete, Dr. Noland will dress and bandage the incisions and grafted areas for protection.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Grafting to the Buttocks & Hips in Langley, BC?
Fat transfer has become the ideal choice for those looking to enhance the shape and size of their buttocks due to the following benefits.
Natural Results. One of the primary benefits of fat transfer to the buttocks and hips is the natural-looking results that are difficult to distinguish between transplanted and real tissue. As fat is taken from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection like there could possibly be with implants. Additionally, because the fat is harvested from other areas of your body, it looks and feels like your natural tissue.
Long-Lasting Results. Another benefit of fat transfer is that it produces long-lasting results that remain for up to five years or longer with proper maintenance and care. Unlike implants, which have to be replaced every few years, fat transfer results are permanent.
Minimal Downtime and Scarring. In addition to providing natural-looking results, fat transfer to the buttocks and hips results in minimal scarring and downtime compared to traditional buttock augmentation procedures. Because the procedures involve harvesting fat from secondary locations of the body, rather than making large incisions into the buttocks themselves, there is less trauma involved in the process, which creates less scarring and recovery time afterward.
Customizable Results. Fat transfer allows you to customize the shape and size of your buttocks, according to your preferences and desired results. Without having to rely on pre-made implants or other solutions, you can create a unique look tailored to your specifications.
Zero Risk of Implant Rupture or Rejection. With traditional buttock augmentation methods, such as implants, there is a risk of implant rejection or rupture. Due to the fact that your own fat cells are used instead of synthetic material,
