Fat Transfer in Rosemont

Ideal candidates are men and women in good health who have reasonable expectations. Most of our fat transfer candidates have lost volume around the eyes, in the cheeks, and around the mouth. Candidates might have sunken eyes, hollowed cheeks, thin lips, or indented scars. In addition, fat transfer patients must have excess fat in at least one area of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or buttocks.

A little bruising and swelling in the treated area is common, but this should subside within a few days. In the donor site, where the fat was removed, the swelling may last a few weeks. Since the grafted fat is inserted with very small cannulas, the transferred fat is difficult to disrupt, and no special dressings are required. However, compression garments are usually placed over the donor site.

After your fat transfer in Rosemont, we recommend that you plan time to rest and relax at home, avoiding strenuous activities until the swelling has resolved. We may prescribe pain medication to ease any discomfort.

Results can last for years. While some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat establishes a long-term blood supply and remains permanently. Maintaining a consistent lifestyle helps preserve your outcome.

Fat transfer is commonly used for facial rejuvenation—such as enhancing the cheeks, undereyes, or lips—but it can also add subtle volume to the hands or body for more balanced contours.

While dermal fillers provide immediate, temporary volume, fat transfer is a natural and longer-lasting solution that uses your body’s own tissue. It’s ideal for those seeking a more permanent, biocompatible option.
