Fat Injection

Fat Injection, also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a patient’s own fat to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contour in specific areas of the face or body. It offers a natural alternative to synthetic fillers and implants.

At Medixir Clinic, fat injection procedures are performed with meticulous precision to achieve youthful and harmonious results. Fat is harvested from areas with excess fat—commonly the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—via gentle liposuction techniques.

The extracted fat is then purified using sterile processes to isolate the healthiest, most viable fat cells. These are strategically reinjected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, lips, under-eyes, hands, breasts, or buttocks, depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals.

This procedure is highly versatile. In facial rejuvenation, it smooths nasolabial folds, plumps sunken cheeks, and restores youthful volume around the eyes and jawline. In body applications, it is commonly used to enhance buttocks, correct irregularities after liposuction, or add volume to the breasts.

Fat injection results feel soft, natural, and integrate well with surrounding tissues. Since the fat comes from the patient’s own body, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.

Fat Injection is performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the treatment area. Recovery is usually mild, with minimal swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days to weeks.

Not all transferred fat survives—typically 60% to 80% remains permanently after the body reabsorbs a portion during the first few months. We slightly overfill treated areas to account for this natural volume loss.

Fat grafting can be combined with other procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery, or liposuction for more comprehensive results. It is ideal for patients seeking subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation without foreign materials.

Candidates for fat injection should be in good health, have sufficient donor fat, and maintain stable body weight. Results improve skin quality and create a refreshed, youthful look.

At Medixir Clinic, our approach to fat transfer combines aesthetic artistry with advanced surgical techniques to deliver personalized and natural outcomes that complement your features.
