What is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also called fat transfer or lipofilling, is a natural way to restore or enhance volume using your own fat. Instead of relying on synthetic fillers or implants, fat is gently removed from one area of your body—such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—purified, and then strategically placed where you want more shape or fullness.
Because it uses your own tissue, fat transfer feels soft, looks natural, and provides long-lasting results. At Saltz Plastic Surgery & Spa Vitoria, this approach is customized to refresh facial features, sculpt the body, or enhance the breasts—helping you look more balanced, youthful, and confident.
Fat Grafting vs. Implants or Fillers
One of the main advantages of fat transfer is that it uses your own tissue, which eliminates the risks of rejection or allergic reaction. Here’s how it compares:
- Versus Implants (Breast or Buttock): Implants can create dramatic size increases, but they involve a foreign material. Fat transfer offers a more natural look and feel, with subtle to moderate enhancement.
- Versus Fillers (Face): Fillers are great for quick improvements, but they require repeat treatments every 6–12 months. Fat transfer lasts longer and may improve skin quality due to regenerative stem cells found in fat.
- Bonus Benefit: Fat transfer slims donor areas (like the abdomen or thighs) through liposuction, enhancing your overall silhouette.

Fat Transfer for the Face
Facial fat grafting restores youthful contours that fade with age or weight loss. Over time, cheeks flatten, under-eye hollows deepen, and folds around the mouth become more pronounced. Fat transfer:
- Rebuilds cheek volume for a lifted, more youthful look.
- Fills hollows under the eyes and temples to reduce a tired appearance.
- Softens deep folds such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
- Improves lip definition with subtle, natural enhancement.
- Restores facial balance when one side is flatter or less defined.
Because fat contains stem cells, patients often notice improvements in skin tone and texture, making it a rejuvenation treatment inside and out.

Fat Transfer for the Body
Body fat transfer is about reshaping and rebalancing. It allows us to contour donor sites while enhancing other areas for natural proportion. This can be especially powerful for patients who want a slimmer waist or thighs while adding curves elsewhere. Common uses include:
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Adds shape, projection, and lift to the buttocks without implants.
- Hip Dips & Thighs: Smooths indentations and enhances curves.
- Calves or Arms: Restores proportion and corrects areas that appear flat or underdeveloped.
- Correction of irregularities: Smooths dents or asymmetries caused by previous liposuction, scarring, or trauma.
- Post-weight loss contouring: Restores natural curves and corrects hollowed areas after significant weight changes.
This dual benefit—slimming one area while enhancing another—makes fat transfer one of the most versatile body contouring options.
Fat Transfer for the Breasts
Breast fat grafting is increasingly popular for women who want natural, subtle results. It can be performed alone or alongside breast augmentation or reconstruction. Benefits include:
- Natural size increase: Provides a modest boost (typically 1–2 cup sizes) without implants.
- Refinement of shape: Improves fullness in the upper pole or cleavage area.
- Symmetry correction: Balances uneven breasts for a more harmonious look.
- Implant refinement: Softens the edges of implants or smooths contour irregularities.
- Reconstruction support: Restores volume after mastectomy or lumpectomy and blends results with existing tissue.
Fat transfer to the breasts is ideal for women seeking a softer, natural feel and a more personalized alternative to implants.
