Fat Transfer Surgeries

Fat Transfer for Volume Restoration, Contour Correction and Reconstruction

Fat Transfer (also known as fat grafting or autologous fat transfer) is a surgical procedure that uses your own fat to restore lost volume, correct contour irregularities and improve soft tissue support. Fat is removed from an area such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs using Liposuction, carefully processed, and then reinjected into the area requiring treatment.

Fat Transfer is commonly used to address volume loss associated with ageing, significant weight loss, pregnancy, previous surgery or natural anatomical differences. Depending on your individual needs, it can help restore soft tissue volume, improve contour and support more balanced proportions using your own living tissue. Our consultant plastic surgeons perform fat transfer to the face, breasts and body, with every treatment tailored to your anatomy, clinical findings and treatment goals.

Common fat transfer procedures include:

• Facial Fat Transfer: Restores volume lost through ageing, weight loss or previous surgery and can improve facial contour and soft tissue support.
• Fat Transfer to the Breasts: Also known as Natural Breast Augmentation, this procedure restores breast volume and contour following weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding or previous breast surgery, and may be an appropriate alternative or complement to implants for selected patients.
• Fat Transfer to the Buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift): Improves buttock contour and volume while simultaneously reshaping donor areas through liposuction, often following weight loss.

Fat transfer is frequently combined with procedures such as Facelift, Neck Lift, Blepharoplasty and Breast Surgery where restoration of soft tissue volume forms part of the overall treatment plan.

Cadogan Clinic has been at the forefront of Fat Transfer surgery for decades. Our founder, Mr. Bryan Mayou, introduced Liposuction to the UK, and our consultant surgeons have contributed to the development of modern fat grafting techniques and international safety guidance. Every procedure is performed in our purpose-built private hospital in Chelsea, London.

During your consultation, your surgeon will undertake a comprehensive assessment to determine whether Fat Transfer is clinically appropriate for your individual circumstances and discuss the expected benefits, limitations and alternative treatment options.
