Thigh Fat Transfer In Gainesville, FL
Thigh fat transfer is a minimally invasive surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of unwanted fat via liposuction from one section of the body, and then the reinjection of this fat into the thighs. This surgery helps patients achieve a smoother, contoured silhouette that perfectly highlights their curves.
Thigh fat grafting is an excellent choice for patients seeking natural rejuvenation. Rather than use synthetic implants, this procedure uses harvested fat cells from the patient’s own body, thus reducing the risk of an adverse reaction. Dr. David Mateo de Acosta carefully purifies healthy fat cells to create a balanced and harmonious figure. For more information, contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
Thigh Fat Transfer Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal candidates for thigh fat transfer include:
- Non-smokers or patients who have quit smoking at least six weeks before surgery
- Patients with realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure
- Patients undergoing similar cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, tummy tuck, breast lift, or breast augmentation
- Patients looking to smooth out hip dips or achieve a ‘curvier’ figure
Thigh fat transfer is performed under intravenous anesthesia for patient comfort. First, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will mark the transfer and donor sites. Next, a small incision will be made in the donor area. This donor site changes from patient to patient, but is typically located in the abdomen or buttocks. A cannula is placed inside the incision to extract the excess fat.
Once all the necessary fat is harvested, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will process the fat cells to remove any impurities, such as blood or body oils. These purified fat cells are then injected into the transfer site. This fat will enhance the thighs, for youthful, natural-looking results.
Thigh fat transfer is an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day. Patients should arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive them home following the surgery.
After the surgery, patients should wear their provided compression garment as directed in order to reduce swelling. It is common for patients who recently underwent a surgical fat transfer to experience bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, or small scars.
For best, long-lasting results, it is important for patients to maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will provide patients with a personalized weight-control plan to keep them on track.
