Fat Grafting
Redefine your shape with your body’s own resources.
Fat grafting is a natural solution for enhancing curves and restoring volume using your own fat to sculpt areas like the breasts, buttocks, hips or thighs. Through gentle liposuction and precise reinjection, Dr. Schmitt reshapes contours with artistry and care, creating results that feel authentic and harmonious. Whether you’re seeking subtle fullness or a more defined silhouette, fat grafting offers a regenerative approach that blends seamlessly with your anatomy for lasting results.
Benefits of Fat Grafting
- Uses your own natural tissue for soft, long‑lasting volume.
- Enhances areas such as the face, breasts, hands or body contours.
- Improves shape while refining donor areas through gentle liposuction.
- Reduces the risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
- Provides subtle, natural‑looking enhancement tailored to your goals.
Is Fat Grafting Right for You?
You may be an excellent candidate if:
- You want natural‑feeling volume enhancement without implants or fillers.
- You have areas of unwanted fat that can serve as donor sites.
- You desire subtle, refined contouring rather than dramatic augmentation.
- You are in good health and seeking a long‑lasting, natural approach to rejuvenation.
What to Expect
Your experience is designed to be thoughtful, personalized and centered on your comfort.
1. Consultation & Planning
Dr. Schmitt takes time to understand your goals and assess both donor and treatment areas. Together, you will create a customized plan that enhances volume and contour while maintaining natural balance.
2. Procedure
Fat is gently harvested from areas such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs using precise liposuction techniques. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the areas you wish to enhance. This process allows for smooth, natural‑looking results with minimal incisions.
3. Recovery
Mild swelling or bruising may occur in both donor and treatment areas. Most patients return to light activities within several days. As the transferred fat settles, the final shape becomes more refined and natural.
4. Results
A portion of the transferred fat will establish a long‑term blood supply and remain permanently. The final result is soft, natural volume that enhances your contours and feels like your own tissue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the transferred fat will survive?
It is normal for some of the transferred fat to be reabsorbed by the body. Typically, a significant portion remains long‑term, and Dr. Schmitt uses refined techniques to maximize fat survival and create lasting results.
Where can fat be taken from?
Common donor areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs and hips. Dr. Schmitt will help identify areas with enough volume to safely harvest fat while improving contour in the process.
Will I need more than one fat grafting session?
Some patients achieve their desired result in one session, while others may benefit from additional treatments to build volume gradually. This depends on your goals and how your body responds to the initial transfer.
Does fat grafting feel natural?
Yes. Because the enhancement is created with your own tissue, the result feels soft and natural. Over time, the transferred fat becomes fully integrated with surrounding tissue.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Swelling gradually improves over several weeks, and final results continue to refine as the fat settles.
