Fat Transfer in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is ideal for individuals looking for a natural, long-term solution to restore lost volume or improve body contours. Candidates for this procedure are seeking an advanced aesthetic procedure and meet these criteria:

• Areas of excess fat on thighs, buttocks, flanks, or the abdomen to harvest and transfer. 
• You seek a natural alternative to dermal fillers or implants.
• You are in good overall health and at a stable weight.
• Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.
• Have realistic expectations regarding the procedure, recovery, and outcome.

What Is the Recovery After Fat Transfer?

The recovery following fat transfer is generally uneventful. Slight overfilling is necessary to ensure the right volume of transferred cells integrate into the tissues and become viable. You can expect:

• Mild swelling and bruising at both the donor and injection sites
• Compression garments should be worn as directed to support healing 
• Most patients return to normal activities within a few days

Final results improve over several months as the transferred fat establishes a blood supply. Since the procedure uses your own fat, the results are long-lasting, with the transferred cells becoming a natural part of your body.
