What is Fat Transfer Surgery?

Providing a more natural form of cosmetic surgery, our Fat Transfer London surgery is a form of liposuction that removes fat from one part of their body to another to enhance the shape or size of another area. Fat Transfer London combines both fat reduction and body enhancement into one procedure, helping to shape and contour your body.

Using your own fat to accentuate another chosen area, Fat Transfer surgery eliminates the need for any implants to be used. This enables the treatment to be performed as a day surgery using conscious sedation, resulting in minimal downtime. Using a precise form of treatment called Vaser Liposuction, the Fat Transfer London surgery enables the subtle volume to be restored to parts of the body that may require enhancement.

The added benefit with Fat Transfer surgery is the long-lasting results. In order to maximise the results, it is important that a healthy lifestyle is maintained and followed.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and personal experiences and results may vary. We recommend a one to one consultation with our Treatment Coordinators to discuss your treatment options.

Fat Transfer London
Fat transfer to breasts

Offering a more natural alternative to breast enlargement as it uses your own fat, undergoing Fat Transfer surgery is an effective solution to improve breast shape and to even up lopsided breasts. Fat can be moved from any area of the body, although it is common for clients to choose fat removal from areas such as the tummy or inner thigh.

Because of its dual properties, Fat Transfer surgery to the breasts has the added benefit of being a mini tummy tuck or fat reduction of an area as well as breast augmentation.

Fat Transfer to Buttocks

A common problem some people may experience is the buttocks sagging and drooping over time, resulting in the pertness and shape dropping. The Brazilian Butt Lift treatment is a popular surgery that lifts and adds volume, something that regular exercise cannot resolve alone.

Fat Transfer surgery to the buttocks provides the results of a butt implant but only using your own body fat that has been taken from an area that you wish to tone. This can help to resolve any problem areas you may have with stubborn fat build-up by giving the chance to resolve multiple concerns by using a more natural method. A benefit of this is minimal downtime and can be done within one day. Each client has individual needs so having a consultation with our Treatment Co-ordinators is the ideal way to confirm the best solution for you.

What happens during the procedure

During the process of fat transfer surgery, you will be put under conscious sedation with the treatment taking between 2-3 hours to complete. Fat transfer surgery at EF MEDISPA is a same-day procedure as it doesn’t require general anaesthesia and has minimal downtime.

Your surgeon will make a small incision to the area from which you want to remove the fat. A small probe is inserted which will safely transmit ultrasound waves which are used to liquefy the fat. The liquefied fat is then gently removed and reinserted in the form of injections, directly into the parts of the body you wish to accentuate or smooth. The results will give you a more sculpted and contoured figure without the need for silicone implants or a long period of downtime.

How long is the recovery time?

As it doesn’t require an overnight stay or any general anaesthetic, fat transfer London surgery has minimal downtime. Depending on how your health and lifestyle are being maintained after surgery you can expect to return to work within 3-14 days approximately. You will be provided with a ‘compression garment’ to wear to help the healing process and enhance results. Wearing this will also ensure pockets of fluid do not form, as well as offering added support and comfort.

How long you will need to wear the ‘compression garment’ depends on the area that has been treated and can vary between clients. You will not require any future surgery post-fat transfer, however, 5-10 aftercare sessions will be required. Your personal Treatment Coordinator will guide you through your bespoke plan that will include us recommending a healthy diet and exercise regime to maximise results.

Step by step Fat Transfer surgery

  1. No obligation consultation

    Beginning with a no-obligation consultation with one of our highly experienced Treatment Co-ordinators, during the initial consultation your full medical history will be taken, and you will be able to discuss Fat Transfer surgery in detail. We will then book you an appointment with one of our doctors for the next step.

  2. Meet your practitioner

    You will meet your practitioner when you decide to proceed with Fat Transfer surgery, who will review your individual requirements and what you want to achieve. The Doctor will review your medical history and assess whether you are suitable for Fat Transfer London surgery. You will also be given an image of the expected results as well as the time duration and downtime. During the consultation, you will be able to ask any last-minute questions.

  3. Before the procedure

    When you decide to go ahead with Fat Transfer surgery, you will meet with the doctor again on the day of the procedure. After any final questions and giving your consent to proceed, you will meet the Nursing team and the Anaesthetist will ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

  4. During the procedure

    Fat Transfer London surgery is performed under conscious sedation. A small incision will be made to the area being treated, with then a small probe being inserted which will transmit ultrasound waves that will liquefy the fat. This excess fat will be gently sucked out and removed from the area by the doctor and then re-injected into the area you want to accentuate.

  5. After the procedure

    Once Fat Transfer surgery is completed, you will have time to relax and unwind in the recovery suite, where the Nurses will fit you into the compression garment. You will also be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics by the Doctor. There is no overnight stay required and you may leave the same day. EF MEDISPA ensures your aftercare is taken care of, with our medical team making sure you receive the correct level of treatment to aid recovery. You will be given an aftercare programme and you will have the chance to have ultrasound, manual and electro lymphatic massages and other treatments if you wish. Your aftercare programme will be discussed with your Treatment Co-ordinator, Doctor and Nurses before and after surgery.

Doctify

I'm completely thrilled with the result. I look, I think, subtly better and completely natural. Not years younger, but fresher, brighter and more cheerful. As promised, my jawline is tighter, my cheeks firmer, my brows more elegantly arched and even my thinning upper lip looks fuller and more upturned. Within a couple of weeks of living with my new face, it felt completely mine.

The fantastic team at the King’s Road clinic put my slight apprehension at immediate ease. They were professional, knowledgeable and provided a seamless approach to my treatment (Volite HA Boost), checking that I was comfortable throughout. Twenty minutes later and pleasing results were already visible… I’m looking forward to seeing further improvements!

After having FemiLift, I don’t have the worrying sense of urgency to go to the toilet as much, I feel much more in control, this treatment has changed my life for the better. I am amazed how easy and comfortable the whole process has been.

I’m absolutely thrilled by the 3D SkinLift. Having two children took its toll leaving loose skin on my stomach that I couldn’t get rid of. Even from my first session with 3DSkinLift I could see noticeable difference and now after a full course I’m feeling like my old self again.
