Fat Injection Operations

Fat Transfer

Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injections, is a surgical procedure where fat is taken from one area of the body and injected into another area to enhance its appearance. It's commonly used to improve the cosmetic appearance of the face, breasts, hands, feet, hips, and buttocks. The procedure involves extracting fat from areas with excess fat, such as the outer thighs, stomach, or hips, and injecting it into areas that may lack volume, such as the face, hands, breasts, or buttocks. This technique has been used by plastic surgeons since the 1990s and has provided reliable results. Many people who undergo fat grafting are happy with the natural-looking outcomes it offers. It can help redistribute unwanted fat, rejuvenate the hands, lips, and face, correct depressions in the skin, add volume to the breasts or buttocks, and fill in contour irregularities. If you're considering fat grafting for hand rejuvenation or any other area, it could be a suitable option for you.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Many people, even after rigourous exercise and dieting, still find it difficult to achieve the size and shape of buttocks that they deserve and desire. Depending on your bodies natural shape, there are a number of techniques and procedures that can be utilised in order to achieve this. At Ames we believe the Brazilian Butt lift (BBL) procedure to be the healthiest alternative, when compared to other buttock augmentations such as implantations, as it makes use of 100% natural materials sourced from your very own body. This means that you are free to enjoy your BBL with fewer incidences of infection and without the risk of rejection.

Fat Transfer For The Hands

Fat transfer to the hands is a non-surgical option for hand rejuvenation. The procedure involves using processed fat from your own body to smooth and re-contour your hands. Fat cells are removed through liposuction from areas like the navel, thighs, or buttocks and then injected into the wrinkled area using a blunt needle and syringe. The doctor may overfill the treated area to account for potential fat re-absorption. This procedure can also be done for facial wrinkles. Since the fillers come from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions is low. The results are soft and natural-looking, and can last several years. It's even possible to combine this procedure with other fat transfer treatments.

Fat Transfer For The Face

Facial fat grafting is a surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of your body through liposuction and injecting it into areas of your face that need more volume. These areas can include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and more. The injected fat is considered a permanent filler, but about 60% of it usually stays. To increase the survival of the injected fat, some people choose to have platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected as well, which is harvested from their blood. However, keep in mind that this can add to the overall cost of the procedure.

Fat transfer for the breasts

Plastic surgeons can perform a technique called fat grafting, also known as fat injections, to reconstruct a breast. They use liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the thighs, abdomen, or buttocks, and then transfer that fat to the breast for reconstruction. This procedure, known as autologous fat transfer, is typically done under general anesthesia. Fat injections can also be used for minor aesthetic changes to the breast's shape, balance, or position after reconstruction surgery. One of the advantages of fat grafting is that it uses your own tissue, so there is no risk of rejection. Additionally, it allows you to avoid breast implants if that's your preference. Many women who have undergone fat grafting report that their reconstructed breast feels similar to natural breast tissue and even has some sensation. Recovery from this procedure is usually straightforward and quick.

As there are medical and physical limitations as to how much fat can be safely removed and transfered, the procedure may not be suitable for those who are overweight.

Patients who had a FatTransfer procedure done with us also had some of the following done too. Contact one of our experienced patient coordinators to see what procedures would be best suited to you.

Liposuction

As we age, lose weight or after we give birth, we may find certain pockets of fat are harder to remove than others through exercise and diet alone. Liposuction can help remove this fat by extracting it with a very strong vacuum. Outside of traditional liposuction, we also provide vaser liposuction which uses ultrasonic waves first to breakdown fat cells before extracting them. This often leads to less damage being done to the remaining tissue and thus enabling a quicker recovery time. Liposuction is a procedure which can be performed on all body parts.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Some of us are left with an excess of skin around our tummy area after losing a lot of weight or giving birth. As this skin cannot be lost through exercise or diet alone, a ‘tummy tuck’ can be used to surgically remove the excess skin to give your tummy a thinner more defined look. It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and may not be a suitable procedure for everyone.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty can take on many different forms surgically and the type of procedure you recieve really depends on your goals or medical needs and may include the reconstruction or recreation of the vaginia using a multitude of techniques. Vaginoplasty is often sought after by those who are seeking to address defects caused by birth or trauma in order to improve sexual function as well as by those who need vaginal reconstruction after undergoing radiation therapy for cancer and other conditions. Vaginoplasty is also used to help address congenital abnormailities which may have affected the development of the vagina.

Crowns (Dental)

Crowns, which are also sometimes called caps, are carefully fitted sleeves that sit over an existing tooth in order to protect it from further damage or to improve your smile. Often applied as part of a root canal treatment, they can also hold together teeth that are cracked and support bridges. Not only this, they can also be used to cover and improve the look of teeth that have become discolored.

Dental implants (Dental)

Unlike other tooth replacement procedures, implants actually help promote healthy bone growth as they are osteoconducive. Generally, it is a small surgical procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic, in which a titanium screw will be fitted into your jaw. Dental implants are usually used where patients have more than one missing tooth and using a bridge is no longer possible.
