Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting) in Vijayawada

Fat Transfer Cost in Vijayawada, India ranges from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 per session

Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure where excess fat is taken from one area of the body (like abdomen, thighs, or flanks) and injected into another area to restore volume, enhance contours, or correct imperfections. At Pratap Hospital in Vijayawada, skilled plastic surgeons perform precise fat transfer procedures for natural-looking results.

This procedure is ideal for facial rejuvenation, buttock augmentation, breast enhancement, hand rejuvenation, or correcting soft tissue defects. Because the patient’s own fat is used, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is minimal.

When to Consider Fat Transfer?

• Loss of volume in the face due to aging or weight loss.
• Desire for natural breast or buttock enhancement.
• Correction of contour deformities after trauma or surgery.
• Hand rejuvenation to restore youthful fullness.
• Under-eye hollows or sunken cheeks.

Ideal Candidates

• Healthy individuals with enough donor fat available.
• People seeking natural, long-lasting volume restoration.
• Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking before surgery.
• Patients with realistic expectations about results.

Procedure

Fat transfer is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the area and volume of fat transfer. The procedure involves three steps:

1. Liposuction: Fat is gently harvested from donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using small cannulas.
2. Processing: The harvested fat is purified and processed to remove blood, oil, and excess fluid.
3. Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the target area using small cannulas to restore volume and contour.

The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours depending on the volume and number of areas treated. Fat transfer results are long-lasting, although some resorption of fat may occur over time.

Benefits of Fat Transfer

• Restores natural volume and youthful contours.
• Uses the patient’s own fat, minimizing allergic reactions.
• Can be used in multiple areas – face, breasts, buttocks, hands.
• Improves skin texture and elasticity due to stem cells in fat.
• Minimal scarring since small cannulas are used.
• Long-lasting results with proper care.

Possible Side Effects

Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness at donor and recipient sites, mild redness, or numbness. Small lumps or unevenness may occur but usually smooth out over time.

Risks

Rare risks include infection, excessive fat resorption, asymmetry, blood clots, or poor wound healing. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.

Recovery

Most patients can resume normal activity within 3–7 days. Swelling and bruising gradually subside within 2–3 weeks. Compression garments may be recommended for donor areas to ensure proper healing.

Aftercare

• Avoid strenuous activity for 1–2 weeks.
• Wear compression garments as advised for donor areas.
• Keep injection sites clean and follow post-op instructions.
• Do not smoke or consume alcohol during recovery.
• Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve results.
