Fat Transfer for Body Contouring
Conveniently located to serve Gangnam, Apgujeong, Sinsa, Nonhyeon, and Cheongdam, our clinic attracts patients from all over the world seeking care from top surgeons.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or lipofilling, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your body’s own fat to enhance and contour specific areas. This natural approach involves removing fat from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and injecting it into areas that need volume and definition, like the buttocks, breasts, hips, or face. Fat transfer is a versatile and effective option for those looking to enhance their body contours naturally while benefiting from liposuction in problem areas. Consulting with a qualified surgeon ensures optimal results tailored to your goals.

What Is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or lipofilling, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own fat to enhance and rejuvenate specific areas of the body or face. It involves harvesting fat from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, and transferring it to areas that need volume, contouring, or smoothing.
Fat Transfer Benefits
- Natural Results: Uses your own fat, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions.
- Dual Benefits: Contours donor areas while enhancing target areas.
- Minimal Scarring: Small incisions result in discreet scars.
- Long-Lasting: Results are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained.
Ideal Candidates for Fat Transfer
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have sufficient fat in donor areas for transfer.
- Desire a natural alternative to implants or fillers.
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations.
- Can maintain a stable weight post-procedure.
Longevity of Results
While some of the transferred fat may be naturally absorbed by the body (20–30%), the remaining fat establishes itself permanently. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the results over time.
Common Applications of Fat Grafting
- Face: Restores volume to cheeks, under-eye hollows, and lips for a youthful appearance.
- Breasts: Enhances size, corrects asymmetry, or smooths irregularities post-surgery.
- Buttocks: Adds volume and contour, often as part of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
- Hands: Reduces the appearance of veins and improves skin texture.
- Scars and Irregularities: Fills in depressions or corrects contour irregularities.
