Fat Transfer In Mumbai
The fullness of a beautiful, young face with rounded cheeks and plump lips best seen in the twenties gets lost with age. Although it mainly depends on your genes, most people start losing volume from the middle and lower face after crossing the mid-thirties, and it progresses further to involve the entire face in the fourth and fifth decade. Fat Transfer or fat grafting can restore the beautiful facial contours from your youth by replenishing the lost facial volume.
Mumbai Fat Transfer, What is Fat Transfer?
The loss of volume (fat) in the face is mainly seen in your cheeks, around the eyes, mouth, jawlines, chin, forehead, and temples. Fat is also lost from the ear lobules, back of the hands, breasts, and buttocks. The age-related deflation of the face can result in loss of prominence of the cheek, under-eye hollows, thin elongated lips, sunken temples, and lines and folds of skin around the mouth and jawline. Your own fat cells or injectable dermal fillers can be used to replenish this lost volume. Fat Transfer can restore the natural, soft, beautiful, and youthful contours of your face. It is also performed for hand rejuvenation, breast enhancement, and buttock augmentation.

What are some common reasons why you may consider Fat Transfer
- You have sunken temples, thin lips, fine lines and
wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.
Fat transfer can improve the fullness in your temples,
plump up lips, and be used to blunt and soften fine
lines and wrinkles on your face.
- You want to rejuvenate ear lobules (pinna), hands,
breasts, buttocks, or vagina.
Fat Transfer can add volume, plump, and youthfulness to your ear lobules (pinna), hands, breast, buttocks, or vagina.

Adding an eyelid crease in people of Asian descent can
make their eyes look more natural, bigger, and similar
to other races.
Frequently asked questions about Fat Transfer
The Fat Transfer Consultation
Dr. Sudhanva will encourage you to list your concerns and discuss the changes you want to see. After a brief medical history and a complete facial analysis to assess age-related changes in your face, he will create a comprehensive plan keeping in mind your goals and desires. He will discuss with you the areas that require treatment and the sites from where the fat can be taken out through liposuction. He will also discuss the procedure in detail, including its advantages, disadvantages, risks, and complications.
Getting ready for Fat Transfer
Dr. Sudhanva will review your personalised surgical plan, areas to be treated, and respond promptly to all your questions and concerns during these consultations. Photographs are taken from various angles for documentation. A list of instructions to be followed before & after the procedure is provided.
The Fat Transfer Procedure
Fat Transfer is usually performed as a daycare procedure and can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes approximately 40-60 mins, depending on the areas to be treated. Fat is harvested by liposuction from the tummy, hips, or thighs. The fat cells are purified, separated, and injected into the targeted areas.
Recovery after Fat Transfer
Since it’s a daycare procedure, the patient is observed for a few hours post-procedure and discharged the same evening. Some amount of bruising and swelling is expected post-surgery. The swelling usually resolves by 50% within one-week post-procedure and by 70-90% in 3-6 weeks. The result of surgery, even though dramatic and immediately visible, further improves over the next 3-6 months as the swelling disappears.
The Follow Up
You will follow up with Dr.Sudhanva 5-7 days after the procedure. Additional follow-ups are advised at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 12 months after your surgery.

Is Fat Transfer a painful procedure?
The pain from the surgical procedure can be easily managed with the help of oral pain killers. Mild discomfort and tightness is expected until the body gets used to the fullness in the face. However, if you are sensitive to pain, we will always be available to assist your recovery.
