Fat Transfer as an Add-On to Liposuction
At Gateway Aesthetic Institute & Laser Center, we offer fat transfer (also known as fat grafting) as a powerful add-on to liposuction, allowing patients to enhance their results by redistributing their own natural fat. This advanced technique removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and uses it to restore volume, improve contours, and rejuvenate targeted areas — all in a single procedure.
By combining liposuction with fat transfer, patients can achieve more balanced, natural-looking results without implants or synthetic fillers.
What Is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure in which fat is harvested during liposuction, carefully sized for homogeneity, and then strategically injected into areas that benefit from added volume or rejuvenation. Because the procedure uses your own fat, results look and feel natural while reducing the risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Fat transfer is commonly performed at the same time as liposuction to maximize results and minimize additional downtime.
Areas We Treat with Fat Transfer
Fat transfer can be customized to enhance multiple areas of the face and body, including:
Facial Fat Transfer
Restore youthful volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows to soften lines and refresh facial contours.
Nanofat for Facial Rejuvenation
Nanofat is an ultra-refined form of fat rich in regenerative cells. Rather than adding volume, nanofat improves skin quality, texture, tone, and elasticity, making it ideal for overall facial rejuvenation and skin revitalization.
Hip Dip Fat Transfer
Fat transfer to the hip dips smooths contour irregularities and creates a more balanced, hourglass silhouette by blending the waist and hip area.
Breast Fat Transfer
Enhance breast shape and symmetry or add subtle, natural-looking volume without implants. Breast fat transfer is ideal for patients seeking a modest enhancement with a soft, natural feel.
Labial Fat Transfer
Restore volume and improve the appearance of the labia using your own fat for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and desired outcome.
How Fat Transfer Works with Liposuction
- Fat Harvesting – Fat is gently removed during liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
- Purification – The harvested fat is processed to blend and sized for uniformity.
- Precision Transfer – Fat is carefully injected into the selected areas using advanced techniques to optimize fat survival and smooth results.
This comprehensive approach allows for body sculpting and enhancement in one procedure.

Recovery & Results
Patients may experience temporary swelling and bruising in both the donor and treatment areas. Most individuals return to light activity within several days, with continued improvement as swelling subsides. Final results develop gradually as transferred fat integrates into the surrounding tissue.
Your provider will give detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and optimize results.
