Fat Transfer Surgery in Abu Dhabi:

Fat transfer surgery is an aesthetic procedure in which the fat cells are transferred to the body. The fatty tissues in an individual body are moved to the region that the person wishes to be thick. These cells are then made to thrive in the recipient region. The main reason for this is that the recipient area can only expand to a certain amount. This treatment cannot be carried out on people who have little to no body fat at all.

How does it work?

First of all, the fat is harvested with a small cannula using liposuction techniques. This fat is processed and the crucial cells are separated. These cells are then injected into the recipient area using fine cannulas. The cells are to be evenly spread out for them to have enough space to thrive. In this way, contour irregularities are also avoided.  Sometimes the procedure needs to be carried out more than one time. For example, 2 or 3 separate procedures may be needed separately for effective results. 

Cost of Fat Transfer Surgery:

The Fat Transfer Surgery Cost ranges from 8000 AED to 15,000 AED for one area. The cost is also different for different types of anesthesia. The doctor determines the cost of the procedure after the initial consultation.  

• For local anesthesia: 8000 AED to 12,000 AED
• For General Anathesia: 15,000 AED to 20,000 AED

Where Can Fat Be Injected?

The extracted fat from your body can be transferred to:

• Breast (Breast augmentation)
• Buttocks (Buttock Augmentation)
• Abs (Abdominal etching)
• Face 
• Arms
• Hands (Hand Rejuvenation with fat transfer)
• Lips (Lip augmentation)
• Undereye fat transfer
• Cheeks

What it can do?

• Fills in your deep wrinkles and crinkles.
• Modify cheekbones.
• Enhances buttock size.
• Creates asymmetry on the breasts.
• Increase boobs size. 
• Removes unwanted fats from donor areas.
• Restores volume in aging hands.
• Fills out depressed scars and scar tissues.
• Addresses irregularities from the previous liposuction. 

What it can’t do?

Fat transfer is not a weight loss procedure so it does not treat obesity and its related health condition. Moreover, it doesn’t tighten loose or saggy skin. Fat transfer rejuvenates aging but can’t stop it. It is crucial to take this treatment after fully understanding your concerns during a proper consultation. 

Results:

The candidates must have realistic expectations when it comes to this procedure. The goal is to have a lot of fat stays and to survive long term. This is best achieved by having the cells spread out in the recipient area.  About 50 to 70% of the transfer of fat is effective. The rest is usually absorbed by the body in about 6 months. The final results of the procedure can be seen after 6 months.

Duration of Results :

In the initial six months, some amount of the fat is absorbed by the body and breaks down. However, after this process, the remaining cells stay in the body permanently thus making it a relatively permanent treatment.

Benefits:

• Nothing foreign is put into the body and the body’s cells are used so no chance of rejection
• It gives natural-looking and good results when carried out by a skilled and experienced doctor.
• It saves a person from implant-associated complications
• It is a safe, effective, and easy procedure to carry out
• Certain deformities can be filled with the fat grafting procedure. For example, certain deformities of arms, legs, skull or face, etc are corrected
• The procedure can be carried out for breast or buttocks augmentation as well
• It is not a painful procedure

Ideal Candidate:

• A person who wishes to contour their body to their liking is ideal for the procedure.
• A person should have a moderate-sized body with enough body fats to transfer from one place to another
• A person has enough skin on the area where they want the fat to be transferred. For example, people who previously lost weight. In such people, the transfer of fat is not intense
• The individual should be in good health with no serious medical condition. In case a person suffers from any kind of medical condition, their doctor is consulted first before the procedure.

Preparation:

• First of all, individuals need to have enough fat cells in their bodies, to begin, the procedure. In the case of skinny people, they may be asked to gain some weight before the treatment.
• Before the surgery, the patients are advised not to eat for 7 or 8 hours and not to drink for around 6 hours.
• The individual should not use any lotion, makeup, or moisturizer as well before the procedure.
• The clothing should be comfortable and lenses and dentures removed.
• The individual may also be advised to stop smoking for a week or so before the procedure.
• If the doctor suggests any medication before the surgery, take those according to the prescription.
• All the other instructions given by the doctor should be followed by the patient before the procedure.

Procedure:

• The treatment starts with a traditional liposuction procedure in which the fat is extracted.
• This fat is then first processed by washing it with antibiotics and then straining it to make sure pure fat is being injected and no extra fluid is incorporated.
• This gives better and more predictable results and it is seen to be a true fat volume that is injected and not volume just from the fluid. 
•  After that, the recipient area is marked where the fat cells are to be injected.
• These cells are then injected in very small amounts and put in many different locations in the recipient area based on the markings.
• By spreading the fat cells in many different areas, there are better chances of survival of fat cells resulting in better results.
• The fat is placed above the muscles for safety reasons.
• The doctor can carry out the procedure under general or local anesthesia.

Anesthesia:

Both local and general anesthesia can be used during fat transfer surgery. The choice depends on some factors :

• Local anesthesia numbs only specific regions so it is used for small and localized fat deposits. It allows the patient to remain awake during the procedure. 
• General anesthesia is used for complex surgeries. They are used in more than one area or when the treatment areas are larger.

After-Care:

The patient is given a compression garment to wear. This is to be kept on for about six weeks. This is worn so that the body does not swell too much and to control the shape of the body. This also pushes in the skin of the donor part of the body so that the skin shrinks in that area from where fat is taken.

In the recipient area, the fat is to be kept in place and not to be moved around a lot. This helps control the results and maximizes the survival of the fat that is moved over.  

The patient, if possible, should avoid sleeping in the area where fat is transferred so that this part does not undergo a lot of pressure.   

Recovery:

For the first few couple of weeks, the donor and recipient region is swollen. The first couple of days the swelling increases and then in about six weeks it recedes. The bruises may fade away in a week or 2.

Depending on the removed volume of fat from the body, a person can go back to work in about 2 to 15 days. However, intense activities are to be avoided for the first 3 weeks.

In the first 3 to 6 months, some of the fat goes away and is absorbed by the body. The fat cells that remain after six months are permanent as till then the body incorporates those cells feeds them and keeps them alive for the long term.
