Procedure and cost:
In the first step, fat is extracted from the donor’s area using liposuction techniques, employing thin cannulas with small holes for optimal results. We ensure that we avoid laser or ultrasonic liposuction during extraction to prevent damage to the fat cells.

In the second step, the extracted fat undergoes processing through decanting and centrifugation to separate debris, excess fluid, and dead cells from the viable adipose fat cells. Alternatively, the fat is washed with a sterile saline solution. The discarded fat cells are those deemed unlikely to survive in the graft, potentially causing issues for the healthy cells.

In the concluding step, the purified fat is reinjected in small droplets throughout the subcutaneous tissue of the recipient area. This process aims to ensure a robust blood supply to each fat droplet, enhancing the likelihood of the fat graft’s survival.
