Fat Transfer Houston

A Natural Alternative to Implants

Houston Fat transfer and Fat Removal has been used for decades to improve facial features, but the procedure has come a long way in recent years with improvements in technology. Today you can choose to have excess fat stores taken from a problem area, such as your stomach or thighs, and moved to places where your body needs more volume. This procedure may be used to enhance the buttocks, breasts or chest, facial features or a muscle group in your legs or arms. It is the ideal solution for rounding out small areas of the body where genetics and/or gravity have taken their toll.

The best part about choosing a fat transfer procedure as opposed to using an implant is that you are using your body's own fat cells. This gives you a result that feels more natural, and is biocompatible as well as non-allergenic. These results can also last for years.

How Fat Transfer Works

Dr. Rassoli performs the fat transfer procedure on site at the Center for Beautiful Bodies. He begins by removing fat from one designated area using the Laser Fat Lipo, VASER LipoSelection® process. The fat cells are then processed and purified, and transferred to the area where you desire improvement. Dr. Rassoli will overfill your treated area during the procedure, because up to 60% of the fat cells can die. Additionally, some of the fat cells may be reabsorbed into the body over time, and so it is generally necessary to repeat the procedure to achieve optimum results.

During each recurring procedure, more fat accumulates in treated areas. The results vary with each individual, but can last anywhere from three years to a lifetime. When compared with facial collagen injections, for example, fat transfer lasts much longer.

You will need to return to the Center for Beautiful Bodies two or three days after your surgery is complete. Dr. Rassoli will remove your bandages and evaluate your healing process. You will need to limit activity and abstain from exercise for up to three weeks following your procedure.

You may experience some swelling and bruising, which will subside after a few days, and any discomfort can be managed with oral medications. Although you may resume normal activities almost immediately, you will need to avoid extended exposure to the sun. Final results will be apparent in several months.

This is your chance to fulfill that wish of moving unwanted fat from one area to enhance another. Contact the Center for Beautiful Bodies today to schedule a consultation, or attend one of our complimentary Lunch and Learn events for Laser Fat Transfer and Fat Removal in Houston.
