SPANN SPECIFICS

Fat grafting, also known as a Fat Transfer, is a cosmetic surgery that takes fat from one area of the body, harvests and purifies it, and then transplants it to another area. This process is done to add plumpness and volume to a part of the body that has become deflated or shallow. During a Fat Transfer procedure, fat is first removed through liposuction. There are various liposuction techniques that can be used to achieve the fat removal portion of the surgery. Advances in medical science have made the purification of this fat a much simpler and effective process. Common areas of the body cosmetically treated with a Fat Transfer include the face, lips, buttocks, and breasts. Contact Dr. Marvin Spann today for your consultation!

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the consultation, Dr. Marvin Spann will discuss what donor sites will be most suitable and desirable for fat removal. During surgery, fat is removed from the donor site using a cannula. The tissue will then be separated and purified so that only the healthy fat tissue remains for transplantation. The fat will be placed in a syringe and augmented into the transfer site. The surgeon will simultaneously massage the area so that the fat settles where needed to create a satisfactory, smooth shape and contour. Multiple injections are usually needed.

DURING/AFTER SURGERY

A Fat Transfer is considered an outpatient procedure and is performed at an accredited surgical facility. In the majority of cases, especially where larger injection areas are concerned, general anesthesia will be used. For smaller areas, such as the lips, the surgeon will use a local anesthetic. After the procedure, the fat removal areas, as well as the injection sites may be swollen and red. This will subside in a short time. This procedure continues to be popular among patients because it offers little risk and little downtime, while delivering great results.

EXPECTED COST

A Fat Transfer procedure will vary greatly in terms of cost, but the surgery could run anywhere from $7,500-$12,500. The reason for the expansive price range is because there are two procedures that have to be accounted — Liposuction and the actual fat grafting/transfer process. The price is subjective until it is known how much fat is going to be removed from how many body parts and where the transfers will take place.

Fat Transfer FAQS

LONG-LASTING RESULTS?

When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, a Fat Transfer can result in an enhanced appearance that can last for years. While some of the fat will be reabsorbed back into the body, a skilled Fat Transfer expert understands the proper mechanism for creating a result that will last. Dr. Marvin Spann has great success with Fat Transfer surgery by implementing new, modern techniques to help lengthen the life of the transferred fat cells. Plasma Rich Plasma (PRP) is an example of this. When added to the transferred fat, it can increase the cell survival.

ONE-TIME SURGERY?

A Fat Transfer typically results in long-lasting fullness. However, because a portion of the transferred fat will be reabsorbed into the body over time, some of the results may diminish. The good news is that this is a procedure that can be performed again very easily, resulting in additional body contouring and enhancement.

ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES?

While Fat Transfers produce great results for many patients, there are other alternatives that some may consider. Luckily, the market for injectables is wide and diverse. An injection, such as BOTOX®, may produce the results some patient’s desire — especially where wrinkle correction is concerned. For patients desiring volume, there are countless filler products that offer many different choices and options. Some fillers, including collagen and hyaluronic acid, offer temporary outcomes, while the heaviest of fillers, PMMA, offer lasting results. To discover which option is right for you, simply contact our office today to schedule your consultation!
