The results of your fat transfer in Jacksonville can last for years with proper care. After a fat transfer, your body will reabsorb some of the fat. Your surgeon accounts for this reabsorption by adding a little extra to start and using advanced techniques to purify the fat. If you’d like to enhance your results after a few years, we can discuss performing another fat transfer.

What Is a Fat Transfer?
If you’ve been stuck with a little too much weight in one part of your body and not enough in other areas, you’ve probably wished you could just move that extra fat around. At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we can perform a fat transfer in Jacksonville to put that volume just where you want it!
A fat transfer removes excess fat in one place and inserts it elsewhere, giving you the curves and contours you want. You can experience natural-looking results in areas like your face, hips, breasts, and more.

What To Expect From a Fat Transfer
01
Consultation
You’ll begin your journey to your aesthetic goals by sitting down for a one-on-one consultation. Your doctor will listen carefully while you describe your concerns and what you hope to achieve through treatment. Based on your needs, they’ll suggest and explain available treatment options, and together, you’ll determine the best method of care for you.
02
Anesthesia
Depending on the size of the treatment area, your personal preferences, and the doctor’s recommendation, we will provide either IV sedation or general anesthesia during your fat transfer in Jacksonville. You will discuss anesthetic options with your doctor as they explain everything you need to know about the surgical process.
03
Procedure
During the procedure, your doctor will remove fat through liposuction or with a small needle from predetermined areas. We will process the fat to clean and purify it. Then, we will inject the fat into your areas of concern, like the buttocks, breasts, hands, or face. As we insert the fat, we may massage the treatment area to help the fat distribute evenly.
04
Recovery
After your fat transfer is complete, your doctor will review post-care instructions with you again before you leave. We will also schedule a follow-up appointment to check on your healing progress. Your recovery time will depend on several factors, including how many body parts were involved in the surgery and how much fat we transferred.

Fat Transfer FAQs
During your initial consultation, your doctor will explain how much fat is needed to reach your goals. In many cases, we’ll transfer only a small amount of fat. However, in some cases where a large volume of fat is required or where a patient has a very low body fat percentage, you may not have enough fat to transfer.
Fortunately, we offer several solutions, including using fat from several areas of the body or supplementing the transfer with donor fat. We will discuss these options during your consultation as we build your surgical plan.
The recovery period will depend on your custom care plan, but many patients return to their normal daily activities about 4 days after their fat transfer. Your incisions should be mostly healed after a few weeks. We generally recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or physical activity for 6 weeks following surgery.
We will provide you with post-care instructions specific to your body and procedure before your fat transfer in Jacksonville. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
