How Does Fat Transfer with BeautiFill™ Work?
BeautiFill™ combines laser lipo and fat processing into one procedure. Dr. Schwartz will recommend an area that would make a great fat donor site. The fat is removed and then purified into the highest-quality fat cells with the best chance of thriving in their new location.
Up to 95% of fat harvested with BeautiFill™ survive the transfer process. BeautiFill™ takes place in-office under local anesthesia.
How Long Does Fat Transfer Last?
Dermal fillers usually last a year or two at best. Implants can last a long time, but complications often require their removal. Fat cells can grow and shrink, but they stay with you for a lifetime. Moving fat cells to a new place does not affect their lifespan, so results are long-term!
Popular Areas for Fat Transfer
Since this procedure uses your own fat, it provides a safe way to enhance volume almost anywhere on the face or body. The most popular locations to have fat transfer include:
Breasts
If you want implant-free breast augmentation, fat transfer can help. You can achieve an increased volume that looks and feels natural. Unlike implants, your transferred fat never needs replacement and has little to no risk of complications.
Buttocks
Buttock implants are notoriously prone to complications. You can have rounder, fuller buttocks without the risk of implants using fat transfer. Dr. Schwartz can shape the area around the buttocks with BeautiFill™, then enhance your buttocks to provide the contours you want.
Face
Fat transfer can be used almost anywhere on the face, where you can have dermal fillers. This includes restoring volume to the cheeks, lips, temples, and around the mouth. Unlike dermal fillers, the volume added with the fat transfer will not fade away within a year or two.
Hands
Fat transfer can rejuvenate aging hands by restoring youthful-looking volume. You can have smooth, soft-looking hands with results that last far longer than dermal fillers.
