Refine & Restore with Your Body’s Own Fat
Fat Grafting: Natural Volume Enhancement with Long-Lasting Results
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a revolutionary contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and strategically reinjects it to enhance volume, smooth imperfections, and refine contours. Dr. Gregory LaTrenta, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in precise, natural-looking fat transfer techniques, helping patients achieve balanced, long-lasting results with their own autologous fat cells.
A Dual-Action Approach to Body Contouring & Volume Restoration
What is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat from areas such as the thighs, abdomen, or flanks and reinjects purified fat cells into regions that lack volume or definition. Unlike synthetic fillers or implants, fat grafting uses your body’s own tissue, making it a natural, long-lasting, and safe alternative for enhancement.
This procedure is commonly used to:
- Smooth body contour irregularities caused by weight loss or aging
- Restore lost facial volume in the cheeks, under-eyes, or lips
- Enhance breast fullness & cleavage for a natural augmentation
- Improve the appearance of scarring or indentations
- Rejuvenate aging hands by restoring youthful plumpness
The Procedure: Precision & Customization for Natural Results
Three Steps to Sculpt & Enhance Your Contours
Step 1: Fat Harvesting (Liposuction)
- Site Selection – The patient and Dr. LaTrenta choose a donor area with sufficient fat reserves (commonly thighs, abdomen, or flanks).
- Fat Extraction – A small incision is made, and liposuction is used to gently remove fat cells while preserving their integrity.
Step 2: Fat Purification & Processing
- Centrifugation Process – The extracted fat is processed in a centrifuge to separate healthy, viable fat cells from fluids and damaged tissue.
Step 3: Fat Injection & Volume Enhancement
- Strategic Placement – Using a fine cannula, Dr. LaTrenta carefully injects the purified fat into the target area.
- Layering Technique – The fat is placed in thin layers to ensure natural integration and long-lasting results.
Procedure Time: Varies depending on the number of treatment areas and volume of fat transferred.

Recovery & Aftercare: A Quick & Comfortable Healing Process
Fat grafting is a relatively gentle procedure with minimal downtime.
- Immediate Post-Procedure (First 24 Hours) – Patients experience mild soreness and swelling, but can resume light activities the same day.
- Restricted Exercise (1 Week) – Patients should avoid strenuous exercise to allow proper fat integration.
- Initial Swelling Reduction (2-3 Weeks) – Swelling gradually subsides, revealing more defined results.
- Final Results (3-6 Months) – While some fat may be naturally absorbed by the body, the remaining fat integrates permanently, providing long-term contouring and volume restoration.
Some patients benefit from a single session, while others achieve optimal results with a series of treatments. Regular maintenance sessions help keep skin balanced, youthful, and resilient.
