Fat Grafting Pattaya : What Is Fat Grafting? (Fat Transfer / Autologous Fat Injection)

Fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure in which fat is taken from the patient’s own body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips), purified, and then reinjected into areas that need added volume or contour improvement.

Common treatment areas include the face, breasts, hips, buttocks, and depressed scars.

Because the fat comes from the patient’s own body, the procedure offers high biocompatibility and a very low risk of allergic reactions. MEDA

How Fat Grafting Works

• The harvested fat contains adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction, including stem cells that help rejuvenate the skin.
• After injection, part of the fat survives and develops a new blood supply.
• The portion that does not survive is naturally absorbed by the body during the first 1–3 months.

Types of Fat Used in the Procedure

1) Micro Fat

• Standard fat particles

• Ideal for cheeks, temples, breasts, hips

• Provides significant volume

2) Nano Fat

• Fat processed into very fine particles

• Ideal for skin rejuvenation, fine lines, tear troughs, thin skin

• Focuses on skin quality rather than volume

3) SVF / Cell–Rich Fat

• Higher concentration of regenerative cells

• Enhances fat survival and skin rejuvenation

(Note: Highly concentrated cell extraction must be performed according to local regulations.)

Detailed Fat Grafting Procedure

1. Consultation & Assessment

The surgeon evaluates:

• Areas requiring volume

• Skin quality

• Available donor fat

• Facial/body structure

• Medical history and allergies

• Required fat volume

2. Fat Harvesting

Fat is gently removed using techniques that preserve cell viability, such as:

• Manual liposuction

• Syringe liposuction

• Microcannulas

Common donor sites:

• Abdomen

• Inner thighs

• Hips

• Flanks

3. Fat Processing

The goal is to purify and isolate healthy fat.

Methods include:

• Centrifugation

• Gravity separation

• Filtration

This removes fluid, blood, and oil—leaving clean, high-quality fat for injection.

4. Fat Injection

Fat is reinjected using small cannulas, layer by layer, to:

• Ensure even distribution

• Prevent lump formation

• Promote blood supply to the transferred fat

Pre-Procedure Preparation

• Stop vitamin E, fish oil, and ginseng 7 days prior
• Inform the doctor about all medications and allergies
• Avoid smoking 1–2 weeks before and after (smoking reduces fat survival)
• Get adequate sleep
• Prepare compression garments if large-volume liposuction is planned
