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.

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 Dermatology, aesthetics & plastic surgery, 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:
Microfat Grafting
Microfat refers to fat particles that are processed to a smaller size while maintaining cell viability.
Uses:
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:
Micro-Parcel Layering Technique
Instead of injecting large boluses, we use:
• Threading technique
• Cross-hatching
• Layer-by-layer microdroplet placement
This ensures:
PRP-Assisted Fat Grafting
For patients who need enhanced survival, we mix Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with fat.
Benefits:

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.

Faq
How long do fat grafting results last?
Fat grafting results are generally long-lasting. Once the transferred fat cells establish a blood supply in the new area, they stay there permanently. Usually, about 60–80% of the injected fat survives, and the final results can last for many years. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle helps the results look better for longer.
Is fat grafting safe?
Yes, fat grafting is considered a safe procedure because it uses your own fat, not synthetic fillers or implants. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. When performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, the procedure has a strong safety record. As with any treatment, minor swelling or bruising can occur, but serious complications are rare.
Is there downtime?
Fat grafting usually has a short downtime. Most people can return to light activities within a few days. Swelling and bruising are normal and may last for 1–2 weeks. Your surgeon may recommend avoiding heavy exercise for about 3–4 weeks to allow the transferred fat to settle properly.
Can fat grafting be repeated?
Yes, fat grafting can be repeated if needed. Some areas may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired volume or shape. Since your own fat is used, additional treatments can be safely performed as long as there is enough donor fat available.
What is nanofat used for?
Nanofat does not add volume. It is used to improve:
- Skin texture
- Acne scars
- Under-eye pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Stretch marks
Who is a good candidate?
A good candidate for fat grafting is someone who:
- Wants natural-looking enhancement or contouring
- Has enough body fat to use as a donor
- Is in good overall health
- Is looking for long-term results
- Prefers a natural treatment instead of synthetic fillers or implants
People with stable weight and realistic expectations usually see the best results.
