Fat Grafting / Fat Transfer

Advanced Natural Volume Restoration at ARNA Dermatology & Aesthetics, Jubilee Hills

Fat grafting, also called autologous fat transfer, is one of the most sophisticated and natural ways to restore volume, contour, and youthfulness to the face and body. At ARNA Dermatology & Aesthetics, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our dermatologists and plastic surgeons use the same advanced fat grafting techniques practiced in leading clinics in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, ensuring high fat survival, natural-looking enhancement, and long-lasting results.

 

Fat grafting has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Earlier methods produced unpredictable outcomes, unevenness, or low survival of transferred fat. Today, with innovations like microfat and nanofat grafting, closed-loop filtration systems, gentle low-pressure harvesting, and precision layering, fat transfer has become one of the safest and most reliable contouring procedures.

What Is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting is a procedure where your own body fat is gently removed from one area (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks), purified, and then injected into areas where you want more volume, better contour, or improved skin quality.

Because the fat comes from your own body, it is completely biocompatible, natural, and long-lasting.

Areas Where We Perform Fat Transfer

Face

  • Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
  • Cheek augmentation
  • Nasolabial folds & marionette lines
  • Temples (to correct sunken look)
  • Jawline contouring
  • Chin definition
  • Lip volumization (for natural, soft enhancement)

  • Breast

  • Breast augmentation (using your own fat instead of implants)
  • Breast correction post breast feeding or weight loss
  • Revision after implant removal
  • Asymmetry correction

  • Body

  • Hip dips filling
  • Buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift - BBL)
  • Hand rejuvenation
  • Scar improvement using nanofat
  • Post-liposuction contour corrections

  • Skin Quality Improvement

  • Using nanofat, we can treat:
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Crepey skin
  • Sun-damaged or dull skin
  • Dark under-eye pigmentation

  • New-Age Fat Grafting Techniques at ARNA Clinic

    Fat grafting is no longer just “fat removed and re-injected.” Modern methods significantly improve survival, safety, and outcome predictability.

    Older liposuction techniques used strong suction that damaged fat cells, reducing survival rates.At ARNA, we use gentle, low-pressure aspiration similar to what is practiced in Hollywood plastic surgery centers. This preserves cell integrity and increases graft longevity.

    Closed-System Filtration & Purification

    Traditional methods used manual washing or gauze filtration, leading to contamination, dehydration, and inconsistent fat quality.
    Uses:

  • Closed-loop processing
  • Multi-stage filtration systems
  • Decantation without air exposure This preserves the fat’s viability and eliminates oils, blood, and fluids that interfere with graft acceptance.

  • Microfat Grafting

    Microfat refers to fat particles that are processed to a smaller size while maintaining cell viability.
    Uses:

  • Facial shaping
  • Lip rejuvenation
  • Subtle contouring
    Microfat ensures smooth, natural contours without lumpiness.

  • Nanofat Grafting

    Nanofat is emulsified fat where the stem-cell-rich stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is preserved while adipocytes are broken down.
    Uses:

  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Acne scars
  • Under-eye pigmentation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles Nanofat doesn’t add volume, it improves skin quality, texture, and healing.

  • Micro-Parcel Layering Technique

    Instead of injecting large boluses, we use: • Threading technique • Cross-hatching • Layer-by-layer microdroplet placement

    This ensures:

  • Higher fat survival
  • No lumpiness
  • Even contour
  • Natural movement with facial expressions

  • PRP-Assisted Fat Grafting

    For patients who need enhanced survival, we mix Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with fat.

    Benefits:

  • Boosts graft retention
  • Improves healing
  • Enhances skin regeneration This is especially useful for under-eye and scar treatments.

    are you an Ideal Candidates for Body Sculpting

    A good candidate for fat grafting is someone who wants to enhance or restore volume in areas like the face, breasts, or hips using their own natural fat instead of implants or fillers. They should have enough fat in donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips to harvest safely. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about subtle, natural-looking results. It is especially suitable for people looking for long-lasting contouring, improved symmetry, or rejuvenation, and for those who prefer a more natural alternative with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
