Fat Transfer

Fat grafting has many benefits:

• It’s your own tissue—no foreign bodies or chemicals added to your face
• You’ll get some of the benefits of liposuction at the same time.
• Blood, unwanted cells and fluids are removed from the donor fat before it is placed, so only healthy fat cells are used.

Fat transfer can be performed under local anesthetic at Dr. Kayem’s Beverly Hills surgical center. After an extensive consultation with you about your desired results, Dr. Kayem will remove fat from the area that has been chosen as your donor site. Blood, unwanted cells, and fluids are removed from your donor fat so that only healthy fat cells are left. Dr. Kayem then strategically places these fat cells into the areas of your face that need volume.

You may have some swelling, bruising, or redness after the procedure, but any discomfort is minor and will abate within a few days.

Most other fillers last a year or so. Fat grafting results last longer.

After the fat is transferred into your face, the majority of the transferred cells will develop their own blood supply. Those cells then become a part of you.
