Fat Transfer

A: BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® are both considered temporary fillers whose results are not long lasting. Once the initial fat has been absorbed after your fat transfer, what remains stays there permanently. Fat transfer also has the benefit of being 100 percent natural, so there is very little risk of an allergic reaction.

A: Good candidates for fat transfer are healthy, have enough excess fat in donor sites for harvesting, and don’t have any circulation problems. Dr. Jazayeri can determine if you are a good candidate during your initial consultation.

A: Depending on how well your initial fat transfer takes, one or more treatments may be needed to achieve your ideal results.

A: If any scarring develops, it will be at the site of your liposuction. These scars will typically be small and should fade over time.

A: The worst of the swelling and bruising resolves in the first week following surgery, and the majority of swelling will resolve by the third week of recovery. After this time, you should see your new and improved contours, and final results will be apparent after three months.

A: The cost of fat transfer varies from patient to patient. The total cost depends on the amount of liposuction needed, the size of the area being injected, and associated medical fees. During your consultation, Dr. Jazayeri will discuss the cost of your procedure.
