During this time, the doctor will examine you, review your medical records, answer questions and concerns, and create a personalized road map for your surgery. Patients who lack the donor fat necessary for transfer will be presented with a range of alternative options, including implants. Dr. Lahijani is extremely well versed with the full spectrum of augmentation techniques and is confident he can find the best solution for your needs.

Details of the procedure

Clients receiving fat transfer in Beverly Hills are given general or local anesthesia, depending on the doctor's recommendation. Surgery typically takes between 1 and 4 hours to complete.

During fat transfer surgery, minute incisions are made at the donor sites, through which the doctor can perform liposuction with a cannula. Once the donor fat has been harvested, it is purified and prepared for transfer. The doctor then injects the fat cells into their new home.

Recovery after fat transfer

The fat transfer procedure is known for quick recovery times and minimal side effects. Some bruising, swelling and discomfort may occur; however, these symptoms are generally short-lived and can be managed with pain medication prescribed by your doctor. Most clients can expect to return to work and their regular routines within a couple of days. Strenuous exercise can be reintroduced within 1-4 weeks, depending on the doctor's recommendation.
