Restore Volume Naturally for a Youthful Look

Due to aging, weight loss, or genetics, losing volume in certain areas of the face is frustrating and can make you feel less confident in your appearance. These concerns are common, from sunken cheeks to hollow temples or a lack of fullness in areas like the breasts or buttocks. Many patients turn to NewSkin in Bellevue for fat transfer procedures, a safe and effective way to enhance volume using your fat cells. Our expert team specializes in creating balanced, natural results that restore your youthful look without the need for synthetic fillers or implants.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that transfers fat from one part of your body, typically from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to another area that needs volume. The fat is purified and carefully injected into areas such as the face, breasts, or buttocks to achieve a fuller, more contoured appearance. At NewSkin, our fat transfer techniques use the latest technology to ensure a minimally invasive process with long-lasting, natural results.

The Benefits of Fat Transfer

As we age or experience weight changes, volume loss can lead to sagging skin and a less youthful appearance. Fat transfer provides a solution that uses your body’s natural resources, delivering results that look and feel authentic. At NewSkin in Bellevue, our fat transfer procedure comes with the following benefits:

  • Natural-Looking Volume: Since fat transfer uses your body’s tissue, the results are smooth, natural, and long-lasting.
  • Customizable Contouring: Fat can be taken from areas where you have excess and transferred to areas where you need volume, providing a dual benefit.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires small incisions and less recovery time than synthetic implants.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, fat transfer results can last years, creating a naturally youthful appearance.
  • Low Risk: Since it’s your fat, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

What to Expect: The Fat Transfer Process

  1. Consultation: The process starts with an in-depth consultation, during which we assess your areas of concern, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
  2. Fat Harvesting: Performed by either Dr. Johnson or Dr. McIntosh, fat is removed from a donor area, usually the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, using liposuction techniques.
  3. Purification: The harvested fat is purified to remove excess fluids or impurities, ensuring only the healthiest fat cells are used.
  4. Fat Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the targeted areas, with our surgeons using precision to achieve the desired contour and volume.
  5. Post-Procedure Care: After your treatment, you’ll receive detailed care instructions to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.

Fat Transfer Recovery & Results

Recovery after fat transfer typically involves mild swelling and bruising in both the donor and injection sites. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, though avoiding strenuous exercise during the healing period is important. 

The initial volume may decrease slightly as the body reabsorbs some fat cells, but the remaining fat will establish itself permanently, offering long-lasting results. It’s essential to maintain a stable weight and follow any post-procedure care recommendations provided by your surgeon to maintain results.
