The many types
Facial Fat Transfer
Plumps up the face with lost volume, giving a smooth look to wrinkles.
Facial fat transfer is when fat from elsewhere like abdomen & thighs, are harvested and injected into the face to restore lost volume typically in the cheeks, hollow under eyes or around mouth. This method can help achieve a youthful, plump look and get rid of wrinkles and fine-lines.
Classification: Minimally invasive
Downtime: 1-2 weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely go away
Best For: People with hollowness or areas that appear sunken within the face from age or weight loss.
Breast Fat Transfer
Gives the breast a natural volume rather than an implant.
This is the process of extracting fat from different areas of your body, for example — stomach or thighs and putting them into your breasts in order to make them puffed and fuller. A more natural option than breast augmentation, it enhances with subtle yet long-lasting results that feel more organic.
Classification: Minimally invasive
Downtime: 1-2 weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely go away
Best For: Individuals in need of light breast enlargement or who are fixing asymmetry.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Sculpt the body by enhancing the shape and volume of the buttocks.
The Brazilian Butt Lift is liposuction to harvest fat from typically the abdomen or flanks, purification of that fat and injection into the buttocks to achieve a fuller, more lifted appearance. This process both improves the shape of the buttocks and contours surrounding areas for an improved silhouette.
Classification: Invasive
Downtime: 2-4 weeks for full recovery; limited sitting and physical activity required during this time
Best For: People who wanted enhanced backside contouring without implants
Hand Fat Transfer
Restores lost volume in the hands, giving them a more youthful appearance.
Body fat grafting of the hands serves to replace volume loss due to aging or weight loss from other parts of one’s body who may have otherwise not treated this area in a different manner, and offers correction for bony appearing hands with protruding veins and tendons. Great for older individuals who’ve lost volume in their hands.
Classification: Minimally Invasive
Downtime: 1-2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside
Best For: People who want to give their hands a fresh look and more plumpness.
Lip Fat Transfer
Naturally plumps up the lip while avoiding chemically produced fillers.
Lip fat transfer is a procedure which involves taking the fat from somewhere else in the body – most commonly from the abdomen or thighs – and injecting it back into the lips to enhance fullness and contour. It is a solution that is a more natural and longer-lasting alternative to synthetic lip fillers.
Classification: Minimally Invasive
Downtime: 1-2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside
Best For: People who want natural, lasting plump lips.
Cheek Fat Transfer

In this process, fat is taken out from areas such as the thighs or abdomen and then injected into the cheeks to correct lost volume due to aging or weight loss. As a result, this helps build rounder and even more youthful cheeks and smoother contour.
Classification: Minimally Invasive
Downtime: 1-2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside
Best For: People looking to restore volume to their cheeks and smooth out facial lines.
