Fat Transfer

Fat transfer is a multistep procedure done in one surgery. For fat grafting surgery, Dr. Iteld first extracts the desired body fat via liposuction from other areas of the body—typically the abdomen, flanks, back or thighs.

He then purifies the harvested fat to remove broken fat cells (oil) and non-fat fluids. Only the best donor fat cells are used. This is especially important, because the fat cells must remain alive throughout the process.

Finally, the fat is injected where it’s needed to achieve your desired volume. There, the living cells establish themselves and connect to vital systems in the treatment area. This technique achieves results that look and feel extremely natural—because they are!

Fat injections are an excellent option for women who are looking for a relatively small increase in breast size (typically a half cup to one cup in size), as well as for correcting minor asymmetry. There are many benefits to this technique, including the fact that it’s all natural—so you’re not putting foreign substances in your body, you won’t have to worry about potential complications from implants, your breasts will look and feel natural, and there are almost no scars because the fat is removed using very small liposuction cannulas then injected through very tiny incisions.

Keep in mind that this procedure does not lift the breasts. If you’re dealing with sagging that’s caused by pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or even genetics, you’ll want to consider a breast lift on its own or combined with breast implants.

A butt lift, commonly referred to as a Brazilian butt lift or BBL, involves strategically injecting fat into your buttocks to help create more fullness and a shapelier contour. Fat grafting is the only way Dr. Iteld performs butt augmentation, since it creates a more natural result than buttocks implant surgery. Additionally, Dr. Iteld reinjects fat only in the natural fat layer of the buttock, not into the muscle, for maximum safety.

A fat transfer can give the chest and shoulders more defined contours and create a bulkier, more chiseled appearance. When combined with BodyTite, we can further fine-tune your shape.

Hip dips are depressions that occur on the outside part of the upper legs below the hips. Dr. Iteld strategically removes and re-injects fat to the hip-thigh transition to give you a smooth, curved contour. This can be done by itself or combined with fat transfer to the buttock based on each person’s starting point and desired shape.

A facial fat transfer is an alternative to dermal filler that provides a more lasting way to add or restore fullness and fill hollow or flattened areas. Some of the main benefits of this procedure include adding volume to the cheeks, reducing wrinkles, restoring volume to the under-eye area, and minimizing deep creases around the nose and mouth. This can also be done as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with facelift surgery.
