Optimal Donor Areas: Where to Harvest Fat
The success of a fat transfer largely depends on the quality and quantity of donor fat. Here are some common areas where fat can be effectively harvested:
- Abdomen: Your belly often has a good supply of fat, making it a popular choice for harvesting, especially due to its accessibility.
- Thighs: Both your inner and outer thighs are excellent sources of fat. This area is particularly favored by those who wish to slim down their leg profile.
- Flanks (Love Handles): Your flanks are another area where fat tends to accumulate, and removing fat from this region can dramatically change your silhouette.
Popular Recipient Areas: Where to Transfer Fat
Once harvested, your fat can be purified and re-injected into areas where you desire more volume. Some of the best recipient areas include:
- Breasts: Fat transfer to the breasts allows for modest enlargement and reshaping, providing a natural alternative to implants.
- Face: As we age, we lose volume in our face. Transferring fat to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes can restore a youthful fullness and reduce wrinkles.
- Buttocks: The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves transferring fat to the buttocks to create a fuller, more rounded look. It’s one of the most requested fat transfer procedures.
Tailoring the Procedure to Your Needs
Ultimately, there is no one “right” way to do fat transfer. Each patient’s body is unique, and so are their cosmetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Shridharani will discuss your specific aesthetic desires and recommend the best areas for fat removal and injection based on your body type and goals. The combination of his surgical skills and artistic vision translates to appealing, realistic-looking results.
