A fat transfer is a procedure in which fat it taken from one part of the body and transferred to another part to add more volume. It’s one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed today. It allows patients to restore volume where it is lacking or enhance a certain feature by using a natural filler. Liposuction is used to remove the fat, which is then purified before the final stage of the procedure. The last step is to inject the fat where it is needed or wanted. If a person wants to pump up the volume somewhere on the body and there is fat to spare, a fat transfer may be the ideal solution.
