NATURAL VOLUME, BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED

Understanding the Procedure

What Is
Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted fat from one area of the body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—and carefully transfers it to another area that requires added volume or contour enhancement.

The purified fat is strategically injected to create soft, natural-looking fullness while improving overall body balance and definition.

Common treatment areas include the face, lips, breasts, buttocks, hands, and under-eye area.

Modern fat transfer techniques focus on smooth, natural-looking enhancement using your body’s own tissue for long-lasting and harmonious results.

Who Is This Procedure For?
Fat transfer is ideal for individuals in good health who want natural volume enhancement using their own body fat. Candidates should have enough donor fat available, realistic expectations, and be non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery.

Risks &
Considerations

At Aris, we believe informed patients make the best decisions. All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, and fat transfer surgery is no exception. Dr. Naveen Ahuja will discuss each of these in detail at your consultation and will only recommend surgery when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks for your specific case.
At Aris, we prioritize safety, precision, and personalized care. Every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to ensure the procedure is appropriate and aligned with their expectations.

Swelling & Bruising

Common during the first 1–2 weeks in both donor and treatment areas. Most symptoms gradually improve with healing.

Fat Reabsorption

A portion of the transferred fat may naturally be absorbed by the body over time, which can slightly affect final volume.

Infection

Rare but possible. Prevented with sterile techniques and treated effectively if detected early.

Anaesthesia Risks

Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia carries standard risks, which are carefully monitored by the medical team.

Temporary Irregularities or Asymmetry

Minor contour irregularities or uneven healing may occur during recovery and typically improve over time.

Healing Variations

Each patient heals differently, and additional touch-up procedures may occasionally be required for optimal results.
