Introduction

Extension of the technique of tunnel liposuction to many fields has led to multiple applications, such as the injection of the fat aspirated, with encouraging results. If you are interested in fat transfer, also know as fat grafting, we consider it necessary to offer you some information about the procedure.

The fat transfer procedure

The technique could be performed isolated or in associations with other surgical procedures.

The fat liposuctioned is achieved from the thighs (internal part) or from the internal part of the knees or abdomen with a small cannula and a syringe, through an incision of approx. 0.4-0.5cm. These small wounds are not closed and undergo spontaneous healing.

Sometimes, it may be necessary to take the fat from the abdomen through an incision about 2 – 4cm, which is stitched afterwards. The stitches are removed after 5 – 7 days. Fat must undergo only minimal handling as it is very sensitive to trauma. The fat is then cleaned with a special solution.
