Fat grafting is a widely used technique in aesthetic plastic surgery. When performed by experienced surgeons, it can offer natural-looking results. Your own fat can be used to address various concerns in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Read on to learn more. Fat can be harvested from different areas of the body through liposuction, which aims to minimize scarring, and processed immediately into millifat, microfat and nanofat.
These refer to the size of the fat particles. Fat is injected into the area of interest using thin cannula tubes in a 3-D matrix. The procedure is minimally invasive and is generally performed with appropriate anaesthesia to support patient comfort. Fat grafting may be supplemented, when clinically appropriate, with PRP, stromal vascular fraction (SVF), stem cells (derived from the patient’s own fat) or exosomes.
Dr. Mohan Rangaswamy has extensive experience with this technique, having performed it since 2002. He has used it in both cosmetic and reconstructive cases. Fat grafting may be used for the face, neck, breasts, buttocks (popularly known as BBL), calves, genital area and hands. It may also help improve the appearance of scars, manage inflammation and pain in certain conditions, support wound healing, and treat vulvar lichen sclerosus in selected cases.
