Who Are Candidates for Fat Grafting?
In Nashville, you may be an ideal candidate for fat grafting if you:
- Experience volume loss
- Seek a more permanent alternative to treatments such as fillers
- Have donor fat available
- Are in good overall health
It is important that you also have realistic expectations for what results you can achieve. Unrealistic expectations could set you up for disappointment, as your imagined results may not match the actual results. We also recommend that you are a non-smoker or that you are willing to quit nicotine before pursuing plastic surgery, as nicotine may negatively impact your body’s natural healing abilities.
The Fat Grafting Procedure
A fat grafting procedure in Nashville consists of several parts. As with any cosmetic procedure, you will have an initial consultation to determine if it is the correct choice of treatment for you. If we determine that fat grafting is a good fit for you, we will discuss donor sites and target regions. The procedure requires you to have adequate donor fat material to use. Then, we will schedule your procedure date.
During your fat grafting, we will use a local anesthetic to make you comfortable. We will then use liposuction to remove the donor fat cells, which are then purified before we inject them into the target location. Some common target locations include the face, the breasts, and the buttocks. These purified cells help your body regain the volume that may have been lost for a variety of reasons. The results are also longer-lasting than other forms of filler that you may consider to help you address your volume loss.
Fat Grafting Recovery
While it is a minimally invasive procedure in Nashville, fat grafting may result in you feeling some minor discomfort for several days after your treatment. Soreness and minor swelling both at the donor site and the target location are common, though you will likely be able to return to your regular schedule more rapidly than other surgical options may allow. Dr. Hatef will make sure you have a full list of expectations and recommendations to maximize your recovery after your fat grafting procedure.
