FAT TRANSFER

Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is a body contouring procedure that can provide long-lasting augmentation and volume restoration. Board-certified dermatologist and body sculpting expert Dr. Jason Emer takes an advanced approach to this minimal-downtime procedure, allowing him to create incredibly aesthetic definition and natural-looking enhancements throughout the body. Dr. Emer performs fat grafting and a wide range of cutting-edge cosmetic treatments at his prestigious Beverly Hills medical practice.

WHAT IS FAT TRANSFER FOR BODY SCULPTING?

Fat transfer is a body sculpting procedure that involves extracting unwanted fat from one area of the body to create fat injections that can be used to enhance another area of the body. Fat injections can be used to:

  • Refine and reshape body contours
  • Create curves
  • Resolve asymmetry
  • Restore a more youthful appearance

Fat transfer has many applications for cosmetic enhancement. Some of the most popular fat grafting treatments for body sculpting include:

  • Buttock enhancement (Brazilian butt lift)
  • Breast augmentation (natural breast augmentation)
  • Cellulite reduction
  • Hand rejuvenation

WORLD-CLASS TECHNOLOGY IN A STATE-OF-THE-ART SETTING

Using instinctive techniques and advanced tools, such as Hi-Definition Liposuction, Dr. Emer can shape a perfect curve, create toned, athletic arms, sculpt and define six-pack abs, or correct irregularities and botched procedures.

Employing a wide range of devices and protocols, he meticulously designs every detail as he removes unwanted fat, tightens skin, refines and contours musculature, and improves cellulite and skin tone. Areas that are difficult to treat for others—such as the legs, calves, chest, and back—are in fact Dr. Emer’s unique specialties.

Through advanced medical technologies, including laser, ultrasound, and radiofrequency (RF) heating, Dr. Emer crafts an inventive, customized approach for each of his patients, producing significant improvements where others cannot.

BENEFITS OF FAT TRANSFER

Due to the many benefits of this approach to body sculpting, fat transfer is often an ideal solution for patients who want to enhance their body contours. Advantages of fat grafting for body sculpting include:

Natural

Fat injections created from your body’s own fat cells are readily accepted by your body. The chances of side effects or allergic reactions are virtually eliminated when you choose fat injections over other types of fillers.

VERSATILITY

Fat injections can be used throughout the body to refine and reshape your figure. In addition to contouring the body, Dr. Emer can perform fat transfer procedures for facial sculpting.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Unlike temporary dermal fillers, fat injections can provide a permanent solution to volume loss. Patients can enjoy long-term enhancement without the need for frequent retreatments.

FAT REMOVAL

Dr. Emer’s patients love that fat transfer provides targeted elimination of unwanted fat in addition to the volume restoration and augmentation results of fat injections. Nearly everyone has some excess fat (often found in stubborn problem areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or buttocks) that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise. With fat transfer, Dr. Emer can slim and sculpt these trouble spots in the process of harvesting fat for your injections.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

WHAT DOES A FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

Prior to your procedure, Dr. Emer will discuss your options for fat extraction sites, anesthesia, and complementary treatments. He will also determine the optimal injection sites for achieving your desired enhancements. While your fat transfer procedure will be tailored to your unique anatomy and treatment goals, you can expect Dr. Emer’s fat grafting process to involve the following steps: fat removal, purification, enrichment, and injections.

FAT REMOVAL PROCESS

1

Depending on your needs and whether you are combining fat transfer with additional procedures, general or local anesthesia will be administered. This medication will ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Next, Dr. Emer will begin the fat removal process. To best protect your lymphatic tissue and blood vessels, Dr. Emer uses the water-assisted Body-Jet fat removal system. With Body-Jet, Dr. Emer can choose the optimal amount of fluid for separating fat cells from the surrounding tissue, allowing him to minimize post-treatment bruising and swelling.

He then performs VASER liposuction, which is an ultrasound-based fat extraction method. Dr. Emer has found that VASER lipo is ideal for harvesting fat cells. With VASER lipo, he can keep fat cells intact as he dislodges them for removal. Unlike other liposuction methods, VASER lipo also provides a skin tightening effect to ensure that your skin adapts to its slimmer contours once fat has been removed.

PURIFICATION

2

Next, the harvested fat is purified. Dr. Emer uses Puregraft microfiltration, a top-of-the-line purification method, to prepare the extracted fat for injection. Puregraft was developed by the world’s foremost experts in adipose science in order to improve inconsistency and unpredictability in fat grafting

Puregraft selectively and gently filters out contaminants and impurities. Filtering out blood, toxins, debris, lipid (or oil), fluid, connective tissue, and fragmented cells results in the purest, most viable fat for injection. This process vastly improves fat retention for the best fat transfer results.

ENRICHMENT

Depending on your needs and whether you are combining fat transfer with additional procedures, general or local anesthesia will be administered. This medication will ensure your comfort during the procedure.

With Body-Jet, Dr. Emer can choose the optimal amount of fluid for separating fat cells from the surrounding tissue, allowing him to minimize post-treatment bruising and swelling.

FAT INJECTION PROCESS

Dr. Emer meticulously selects your injection sites based on your anatomy and desired outcome. With his expertise and experience, he can determine precisely where volume is needed to create natural-looking improvements. He artfully and skillfully injects the purified, enriched fat in small amounts in different layers of the muscle and tissue. With this method, the tissue is enhanced and builds volume over time.

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO FAT TRANSFER?

Known for providing among the best fat transfer Beverly Hills and West Hollywood has to offer, Dr. Emer provides the following procedures designed to meet your unique needs, and surpass all of your expectations.
No matter how strict your diet and gym routine is, it’s tough to get your ideal chest, shoulder and calf muscles – especially if your genetics aren’t in your favor. Through a strategic fat transfer with Dr. Emer, he can actually define those muscles surgically, sculpting the athletic look you’ve always wanted.
At around age 30, we start to lose facial volume. And when this happens, it creates a hollow and weathered look that makes you appear older than you are. Fortunately, facial contouring with a fat transfer provides the ideal solution. It works by taking unwanted fat from one area of the body and using it to restore lost volume in the face, giving you back your youth while simultaneously sculpting more distinguished facial features.
Even with vigorous exercise, getting a sculpted and voluminous butt can be nearly impossible without surgery. Through butt augmentation with Dr. Emer, you can achieve the perfect backside you’ve always wanted – one that gives you a more athletic look and boosts your confidence.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE

Downtime after a fat grafting procedure is often minimal but varies based on the area(s) treated, the amount of fat extracted, and the number of fat injections required to achieve your desired outcome. On average, patients tend to return to work after three or four days, and swelling typically subsides after a few weeks. Following a formal evaluation and development of your personalized treatment plan, Dr. Emer can provide you with a timeline for your recovery.

FAT GRAFTING RESULTS

Final fat grafting results can be expected 6 to 12 weeks after treatment. To maintain improvements, Dr. Emer recommends regular injections of Sculptra, PRP, and stem cells/exosome therapy.

While fat grafting results are permanent, not all fat will survive. Dr. Emer’s advanced water-assisted Body-Jet harvesting and purification methods vastly improve the longevity of the treatment by ensuring that only the most viable fat cells are transferred. If desired, additional fat injections or other injectable fillers can further improve the outcome of your initial procedure.

THE DR. EMER DIFFERENCE

HOW DOES DR. EMER DO FAT TRANSFER DIFFERENTLY?

Fat transfer procedures must be performed by a qualified provider and expert in fat grafting. Any errors or improper injections could dramatically alter a patient’s appearance. Dr. Emer provides the best fat transfer in Beverly Hills due to his advanced approach to fat harvesting and enrichment, refined injection technique, and body sculpting expertise.

Dr. Emer is adamant about optimizing every step of the fat transfer process to ensure optimal results. From using cutting-edge fat removal systems like Body-Jet and VASER lipo, to enriching fat with PRP and exosomes, Dr. Emer is meticulous about creating the highest quality, most viable fat injections.

Dr. Emer also maximizes fat transfer results by strategically combining the procedure with complementary treatments. Depending on your cosmetic concerns and desired outcome, he may recommend enhancing your fat transfer results with:

Energy-based treatments like lasers and microneedling with radiofrequency
Cosmetic surgery like body lifts and surgical implants
Collagen-stimulators like Sculptra injections
Skin rejuvenation therapies
For the most transformative and life-changing body sculpting results, Dr. Emer can include fat transfer as part of a 360 HD lipo treatment. 360 HD liposculpting combines precision fat removal, fat injections, skin tightening, and other treatments to chisel out athletic contours and improve muscle definition throughout the body in just one procedure.

CALF AUGMENTATION FOR MEN: CALF IMPLANTS

For patients who seek more dramatic augmentation, calf implants may be a better option. Your calf implants will be customized to achieve your desired outcome. Dr. Emer and his team of top Beverly Hills plastic surgeons are meticulous about determining the optimal size, location, and placement for your calf implants.

Calf implants can provide aesthetic augmentation of the outer calf, inner calf, or both areas of the lower leg. Men seeking a body-builder look in the lower legs often opt for medial and lateral implants. For more subtle enhancement, our expert team may recommend a medial calf implant alone.

Calf augmentation with implants requires plastic surgery, which means there will be significant downtime after the procedure. Patients should plan to restrict their activities for several weeks to allow the area to heal properly.
