Dr. Shermak has helped many Baltimore fat transfer patients achieve the body contouring results they desire. This complex procedure requires a sophisticated artistic sensibility coupled with a penchant for precision, and Dr. Shermak brings both these qualities in abundance to all her treatments.




















Fat transfer describes the movement of fat from undesirable areas like the waist, hips, abdomen and inner and outer thighs, to areas that can use extra volume, like the face, chest, breast or buttocks. This is the ultimate “win-win” procedure.
Some call fat transfer to the buttocks a “Brazilian butt lift.” Whatever you call it, this surgery can help you achieve impressive, remarkable results with the smallest, most inconspicuous incisions and relatively rapid recovery. Sometimes fat transfer is performed to improve upon appearance of surgical scars or postoperative contours following cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.

Fat Transfer provides an excellent solution for individuals who have experienced traumatic injuries or postoperative contour irregularities and scarring that may benefit from fat transfer.


















Surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis in one or two hours. One may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, and numbness with nearly invisible scars.
Patients are up and walking within hours of surgery, and most resume regular activities within one week. Swelling and numbness may take several months to resolve. The final result of fat “take” typically occurs by 3 months. The key to optimal recovery is the optimal surgeon. Beware of unbelievable deals locally or in foreign countries because the procedure requires an educated, experienced, safe surgeon and routine follow-up evaluations.
