About Fat Grafting & Transfer
Facial fat grafting transfers your own body fat to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging, creating natural-looking enhancement. This technique uses micro and nano fat grafting for precise, long-lasting results that improve over time.
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, involves harvesting fat from one area of your body and transferring it to another area that needs volume. At Aestique Clinic, we use advanced fat processing techniques to maximize fat cell survival, ensuring natural-looking, long-lasting results.
This versatile procedure can rejuvenate the face, enhance the breasts, augment the buttocks, improve scars, or rejuvenate hands. Because it uses your own tissue, there is no risk of allergic reaction, and the results look and feel completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the transferred fat survives?
Typically 60-80% of transferred fat cells survive permanently when processed using advanced techniques. Some over-correction may be done to account for expected absorption.
Where is the fat harvested from?
Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and inner knees. Your surgeon will choose the site with the best quality fat and that benefits from slimming.
How does fat grafting compare to fillers?
Fat grafting uses your own tissue for natural, long-lasting results (the surviving fat is permanent). Fillers use synthetic HA that is absorbed over 6-24 months. Fat grafting requires a minor procedure; fillers are a quick office visit.
