Autologous Fat Transfer
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A surgical technique in which fat is harvested from one area of the patient's own body through liposuction, processed, and re-injected into another area to add volume, correct contour defects, or rejuvenate the face, hands, or breasts. As the material is derived from the patient's own tissue, the risk of rejection is eliminated, though a proportion of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed over time.
