Autologous fat transfer (also called fat grafting or lipofilling) involves harvesting fat from one area of the patient's body through gentle lipoaspiration, processing and purifying the fat tissue, and reinjecting it into areas that need volume restoration or contour improvement. Because the procedure uses the patient's own tissue, there is no risk of allergic reaction and results can be exceptionally long-lasting.

Once fat grafts establish a blood supply and survive the initial healing period, the transferred fat becomes permanent living tissue. Typically 50-70% of transferred fat survives long-term, which is why slight overcorrection is planned during the initial procedure. Results can last years to decades, unlike synthetic fillers which require periodic retreatment.

Fat transfer can be used for facial rejuvenation (temples, cheeks, nasolabial folds, under-eyes, lips), hand rejuvenation, breast augmentation, buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift), scar revision, and correction of contour irregularities anywhere on the body. The course focuses on the most commonly performed facial and body applications.

Fat is harvested using a small-gauge cannula connected to a syringe under tumescent local anesthesia. The tumescent solution numbs the donor area and facilitates gentle fat extraction while minimizing bleeding and tissue trauma. Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, and inner thighs.

Fat transfer uses the patient's own tissue for permanent volumization, while dermal fillers use synthetic products (typically hyaluronic acid) that are gradually absorbed over 6-18 months. Fat transfer is ideal for larger volume needs and patients seeking long-lasting results, while fillers are better suited for quick, precise adjustments that may need modification over time.

Yes, the course includes supervised hands-on practice covering tumescent anesthesia, lipoaspiration technique, fat processing, and reinjection. You will work directly with patients under expert faculty guidance, building the procedural confidence needed for independent clinical practice.
