Fat grafting in Singapore | For enhancement AND Scar correction
Fat grafting removes excess fat from areas like the tummy to enhance other parts of the body, including the hands, and to correct scars on the body. Check out Dr Ivan Puah’s podcast to find out what fat grafting can do besides breast enhancement.
Fat grafting is a procedure where a doctor harvests excess fat from areas like the tummy or waist and uses it for corrective or augmentation work on other body parts like the hands, breast and buttocks.
This process involves liposuction to extract fat cells, which are then concentrated and prepared for injection into specific areas of the body or face.
Corrective Work
Fat grafting can address issues like scars from acne or surgery and correct asymmetries by filling gaps and improving contours.
To even out uneven skin texture
Enhancement Work
Commonly requested for breast and buttock enhancement, fat grafting can enhance size, shape, and even provide a lifting effect.
The process begins with selecting an area with sufficient healthy fat cells for harvesting, usually from the hips, waist, or tummy. Once harvested, the fat is cleaned and injected into desired areas.
Benefits of fat grafting
Fat grafting serves as a natural filler for uneven areas and can produce realistic enhancements. It yields natural-looking results, which can be a significant advantage over breast implants.
Managing expectations in fat grafting
However, one drawback is that fat grafting may not achieve the same volume increase as implants, as some fat cells may not survive after being transferred. Therefore, realistic expectations should be discussed with patients to ensure satisfaction with the results.
