Fat Transfers in Minneapolis, MN
Looking to enhance your features using your body’s fat? Fat transfer is a safe, proven method to add volume where you want it, without implants or synthetic fillers. Also called fat grafting or lipo transfer, this treatment uses excess fat from one area of the body and carefully injects it into another to improve shape, volume, and balance.
Our clients in Minneapolis choose body fat transfer to smooth facial creases, refine body contours, and create fuller, more youthful proportions.
The Benefits of Fat Grafting
Natural Look and Feel: Using your own fat means the results blend seamlessly with existing tissue, with no risk of allergic reaction.
Two-in-One Contouring: Fat is gently removed from areas like the abdomen or thighs, then used to enhance volume elsewhere, delivering visible improvements in both zones.
Long-Term Results: Once transferred fat establishes itself in the new area, results can be long-lasting and low maintenance.
Minimal Scarring: Only small incisions are needed for both harvesting and placement, leaving little visible evidence behind.
Versatile Applications: Fat grafting face procedures, breast shaping, hand rejuvenation, and buttock enhancement can all be performed with one powerful technique.
Fat Treatment Areas
Face: Fat transfer face procedures restore volume to areas like the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and smile lines. This helps smooth out signs of aging and improves facial contours without fillers.
Breasts: Fat can be used to enhance breast volume naturally, offering a subtle alternative to implants for women who want a more balanced shape using their own tissue.
Hands: A fat grafting treatment adds fullness to the backs of the hands, improving skin texture and making the hands appear younger and smoother.
Buttocks: Lipo transfer can be used to shape and lift the buttocks, using natural fat to create fuller curves with enhanced contour and softness.
