Fat Transfer Blog

Fat transfers are all of the rage in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures for patients who want to reduce and eliminate fat from unwanted areas - and add that same fat to nether regions, such as their buttocks. We all hear positive references about nice behinds and booty enhancement is becoming increasingly more popular for a wide range of patients who want to undergo the procedure naturally, and without surgical implants.

When we think of modern cosmetic procedures, many times we forget that they had to start somewhere. Did you know that the first fat transfer (cheek) was in 1893, and the first breast fat transfer was in 1895? Since then, we have learned so much and the techniques are very sophisticated - taking the risks and complications down to a point where they are very rare, and making it a safe way to transfer fat from the parts of our body where we do not want it, to places where we do. If you have been considering fat transfer, contact a plastic surgeon in your area to find out more about modern options.

When Tim Barter fell 25 feet from a drainpipe on his house, his neighbors rushed him to the hospital. The prognosis wasn't pretty - he was in a coma, had a shattered eye socket and had to have a portion of his skull removed, to relieve the pressure and bleeding. The surgeons custom-made a titanium plate to repair the skull, but there was still a very large dent in his temple. Using fat harvested from his abdomen, British surgeons repaired the area by transferring the man's own body fat into the hole, It took him two years to recover - but, he looks and feels great, and is living life to the fullest. Fat transfer is a wonderful cosmetic tool, that is also used in reconstruction, and to assist in scar repair.
