Fat Transfer Topics

What is fat transfer?

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.

Who is a good candidate for fat transfer in Baltimore?

Good candidates for fat transfer are individuals in good physical and psychological health who have localized fat deposits plus an area that could use extra volume without relying on implants. Patients should have realistic expectations for improvement based on their private consultation with Dr. Shermak.

What is the recovery like for 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.
