Fat transfer is two procedures in one Fat transfer involves removing the fat cells from one area of the body and injecting them into another area of the body. It is also called fat grafting. The process of removing the fat from the first area is not achieved by traditional liposuction and uses a more involved technique so as not to destroy the fat cells in the body.

Fat transfer has a similar effect to fillers Like fillers, fat transfer adds volume; the transferred fat that survives can last longer, although some of the fat is reabsorbed and results vary.
