Fat Transfer in Atlanta, GA

When a person has weight fluctuations or even during the natural aging process, they may lose overall shape in certain body features where volume once existed. One way to regain lost volume is through an advanced cosmetic technique known as a fat transfer. This treatment extracts fat from a place on the body and injects it into another area that could use additional volume. Fat transfer procedures can be used on widespread areas, such as the butt or breasts, or on delicate and smaller areas, such as the lower eyelid, cheeks, or lips. Fat transfers are commonly chosen when a patient hopes to have a natural enhancement versus using implants or fillers. Board-certified otolaryngologist/facial plastic surgeon Dr. B. Terry Seymour is skilled at using the most advanced liposuction and grafting methods for performing fat transfers. This cosmetic enhancement at ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center creates natural-looking, appealing outcomes.

A customized fat transfer procedure performed by Dr. Seymour at his Atlanta or Lithonia, GA facility can provide amazing outcomes with several practical and aesthetic benefits, including:

• Restoring substantial age-related volume loss
• Removing unwanted fat that has been resistant to diet and exercise
• Slimming and toning the body
• Safer than fillers or breast implants since it uses your body's own fat
• Improving body image and appearance
• Results are long-lasting
• Has a natural look and feel
• Can be used on multiple parts of the body, including both large and small regions

During a fat transfer, you will be put under some form of anesthesia. The exact type of sedation or numbing medication will depend on how much fat is being taken out, including the area where it will be reinstated. Dr. Seymour performs liposuction first via a small, specialized cannula to delicately extract the fat where it will then be harvested and separated inside a centrifuge. After prepping the injection site, the extracted fat will be transferred into the area of concern. The injection process is performed in layers until even smoothness has been attained. For some areas, multiple injections will be necessary. After a fat transfer, it's important to remember there are at least two sites on the body that need to be carefully treated: the extraction area and injection location. Your overall recovery could take anywhere from 1 – 2 days to a week or more, depending on what areas of your body were addressed. The sites will appear swollen with some possible bruising, but the outcomes can be seen pretty quickly. The added bonus is the area where liposuction was used will look slimmer. This procedure yields lasting, awesome outcomes. There is minimal scarring that is noticeable with this procedure.

If you desire fuller buttocks or more shapely breasts, a fat transfer may be a great option. This treatment offers many cosmetic enhancement possibilities.
