Fat grafting is a popular procedure where the aim is to remove unwanted fat from an area of the body, such as the tummy or thighs, and use it to smooth or increase the size of another area, such as the breasts, chin or cheekbones.
Fat grafting is an ideal solution for those looking for cosmetic enhancement without implants or synthetic fillers. With fat transfer, we’re able to transfer unwanted fat from one area of the body to the desired location, often in the chin, cheekbones or breasts. Fat transfer is a popular addition to liposuction or liposculpture because the fat cells can be stored or “banked” for future use.
Fat grafting is a two-step procedure that can be performed together, or at different times. It involves the removal of stem-cell rich fatty tissue from one area of the body and transferring it to another location.

Many of us have no desire for synthetic fillers in areas of our face, buttocks. Using your body’s own fat can create extra shape and volume where the body needs it most, producing natural results that benefit the whole body.
As we get older, we lose facial volume, particularly in the mid-face, which can make the face appear sunken and sagging. It is fast becoming a popular alternative to temporary facial fillers and is often used as an adjunct treatment to the facelift.
Facial procedures are chosen for many reasons, often to reduce facial lines and wrinkles. When you choose fat grafting, fat is injected into areas of the face where wrinkles exist or where volume has been lost.
We are so privileged to have been able to look after so many patients that are thrilled with their results.
Dr. Wali begins by saturating the donor area with a sterile saline solution which breaks apart the fatty deposits and makes it easier for removal. Dr. Wali is careful to gently suction the fat removed in order to minimize potential damage of cells and ensure that impurities are removed before transfer to the new location.
The process of removal and transfer can be performed simultaneously or at different times. Patients often choose to schedule the transfer at the same time as removal but banking of viable cells for later transfer is an option that can be discussed during consultation with Dr. Wali.
Most patients report little discomfort following fat transfer. The location of removal will be a little sore and the recipient site may be swollen or tight as your skin and muscles adapt to the new tissue, but patients generally return to normal activity within weeks.
