Fat Grafting In Gainesville
At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center, we specialize in fat grafting (also known as fat transfer or fat injections). Led by Dr. David Mateo de Acosta, our team is dedicated to delivering personalized care and exceptional outcomes in a professional, warm environment. If you’re considering enhancing your shape through body contouring with fat transfer, here’s everything you need to know about the procedure.
What is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting or fat transfer is a versatile cosmetic procedure that involves removing unwanted fat from one area of the body by the use of high definition 4D liposuction and re-injecting it to sculpt different areas. Common areas treated include the buttocks, breasts, male chest, hips, and face. Fat grafting provides a natural way to enhance a woman’s curves and a male V taper, using your body’s fat to sculpt and accentuate your figure.
By utilizing high-definition liposuction ( 4D liposuction), we ensure that the fat is carefully harvested in selective areas and re-injected precisely for smooth and sculpted results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting is ideal for men and women in their 20s to 60s who are seeking body contouring and have areas of unwanted fat that can be transferred to enhance other areas. You might be a good candidate if you:
- Have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
- Desire a natural enhancement without implants or fillers.
- Want to restore lost volume due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results.
During your consultation, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will review your health history, conduct a physical exam, and determine whether fat grafting is the right option for you.
Customizable Cost of Fat Grafting
The cost of fat grafting is highly customizable and depends on several factors, including:
- The number of areas being treated with liposuction.
- The amount of fat being injected into the desired areas.
- The duration of the fat transfer procedure.
At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center, your quoted price will include all aspects of the procedure, including liposuction, fat injections, and all follow-up appointments. Financing options are available to help make this life-changing procedure more accessible to our patients.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your journey starts with a consultation with Dr. David Mateo de Acosta, who will:
- Conduct a detailed physical assessment to determine where fat can be harvested and where it can be transferred.
- Review your health history and discuss your body contouring goals.
- Develop a personalized plan for high-definition liposuction and fat transfer that suits your unique body type and aesthetic desires.
This individualized approach ensures that each patient receives the best possible care and results.
Two weeks before the procedure, we require a pre-operative appointment to:
- Take your baseline vitals.
- Review the surgical plan.
- Go over the surgical consents.
- Capture “before” photos to document your transformation.
The Day of Your Fat Grafting Procedure
On the day of your surgery, you will arrive at our AAAA-certified outpatient surgical facility. Patients undergo the procedure under deep sedation or general anesthesia and can return home the same day. Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will perform high-definition liposuction to harvest fat from the designated areas. The purified fat is then injected into the areas requiring volume and contour enhancement, such as the buttocks or breasts, the chest muscles, hips or thighs.
Recovery After Fat Grafting
After the procedure, most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work and daily activities to rest and recover, depending on their lifestyle. Some drainage, discomfort, and swelling for the first couple of weeks are expected. All of our patients wear a compression garment to help the treated areas heal and conform to their new contours.
We closely monitor your recovery, with a follow-up appointment the day after surgery to ensure everything is progressing smoothly. Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will continue to see you throughout your recovery to ensure optimal results and address any concerns you may have.
