Imagine taking unwanted fat from one area of your body and using it to add natural, beautiful curves exactly where you want them. That’s the power of liposuction with fat transfer—a two-in-one procedure that sculpts your figure while enhancing your natural beauty. At Pelosi Medical Center, Dr. Marco Pelosi III, an expert cosmetic gynecologist with over 25 years of experience and recognized internationally as a leader in minimally invasive techniques, offers expert fat transfer procedures that deliver stunning, natural results.
What Is Liposuction with Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting or fat injections, is a procedure that removes excess fat from areas like your abdomen, thighs, or flanks through liposuction, purifies it, and then carefully injects it into areas where you want more volume or contour. It’s completely natural—using your own tissue—which means no artificial implants and a lower risk of complications. Whether you want fuller breasts, a rounder buttocks, more youthful hands and face, or enhanced feminine contours, fat transfer creates results that look and feel like you, only better.
Popular Areas for Fat Transfer
The most popular fat transfer procedures include:
-
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Add curves to your hips and buttocks for a shapelier figure
-
Breast Enhancement: A natural alternative to implants or to improve shape around existing implants
-
Facial Rejuvenation: Restore volume to cheeks, jawline, and chin while softening lines around the mouth and eyes—a longer-lasting alternative to fillers like Juvederm or Restylane
-
Hand Rejuvenation: Add youthful fullness to aging hands
-
Feminine Enhancement: Restore volume to the labia majora for a more youthful intimate appearance
Who’s An Ideal Candidate?
You may be a great candidate for liposuction with fat transfer if you want to add natural volume or curves to your breasts, buttocks, face, or hands, and you have enough fat in other areas to harvest. Women experiencing age-related volume loss are ideal candidates. This procedure is perfect if you’re looking for natural-looking results without artificial materials. Most patients can return to work within 2-3 days, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fat transfer uses your own fat to add volume, while fillers use injectable products and implants use artificial materials.
Because fat transfer uses your own tissue, results can look and feel natural. It can also treat two concerns at once by removing unwanted fat from one area and adding volume to another.
You need enough excess fat to safely harvest, purify, and transfer to the treatment area. The amount depends on your goals, anatomy, and the area being enhanced.
During your consultation, Dr. Pelosi can evaluate your donor areas and determine whether fat transfer is a good option for you.
Common donor areas include the abdomen, thighs, and flanks. These areas can be sculpted with liposuction before the fat is prepared and transferred to areas such as the breasts, buttocks, face, hands, or labia majora.
Your treatment plan will depend on where you carry excess fat and where you want more volume or contour.
Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body after surgery, while the remaining fat can develop a lasting blood supply in the new area. In many cases, about 50% to 80% of the transferred fat may survive, but the exact amount varies from patient to patient.
Factors such as the treatment area, healing, circulation, and aftercare can all affect fat retention. Dr. Pelosi will account for this during treatment planning and explain what to expect based on your goals.
Fat transfer results can last for several years, and the fat that successfully establishes a blood supply may remain long term.
Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed during the first few months of healing, so your final result may look different from your early post-procedure volume.
Transferred fat can respond to weight changes like fat elsewhere in the body. Weight gain may increase volume in the treated area, while weight loss may reduce fullness or change your overall contour.
Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your fat transfer results over time.
Yes, fat transfer can help restore volume that naturally decreases with age. It may be used for areas such as the face, hands, and labia majora, depending on your concerns and anatomy.
Because the procedure uses your own fat, it can create a natural-looking improvement without artificial implants.
