Body Procedures
Fat Transfer
Refine one area and enhance another in a single procedure, using your own fat as the most natural filler available.
Your Own Tissue, Thoughtfully Redistributed
Fat transfer takes unwanted volume from one part of the body and uses it to restore fullness somewhere it is wanted.
Because the material is yours, there is no implant, no foreign body, and no risk of rejection. We harvest gently, purify carefully, and place the fat in small aliquots so that as much of it as possible survives long term — most often to the breasts, hips, or face. Adoreal’s 3D visualisation helps you see both sides of the exchange before your procedure.

Two Results, One Procedure: Slimmer contours where you don’t want volume, fuller shape where you do.
Entirely Natural Material: No implant and no synthetic filler — the tissue is your own.
Soft, Believable Texture: Grafted fat feels like the tissue around it, because it is.
Long-Lasting Once Settled: The fat that survives the first three months behaves like the rest of your body’s fat.
Precise Sculpting: Small-volume placement allows subtle refinement that implants cannot achieve.
What to Expect During Your Fat Transfer Journey
01
Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Simulation
We start by listening. Your surgeon assesses your anatomy and goals, then uses Adoreal’s 3D technology to simulate your fat transfer result before any commitment is made.
02
Tailored Surgical Plan
We agree the donor sites and the recipient areas together, balancing what can safely be harvested against the volume you want gained.
03
Your Procedure Day
Fat transfer is usually performed under general anaesthetic as a day case, with duration depending on the number of areas treated.
04
Recovery & Ongoing Support
Expect swelling and bruising at both donor and recipient sites for two to three weeks. Final volume settles at around three months, once the graft has stabilised.
Recovery After Fat Transfer
Minimal Downtime: Due to the minimally invasive nature of fat transfer, recovery time is generally shorter compared to other body contouring procedures. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, with full recovery taking 1–2 weeks.
Post-Operative Care: You may experience some swelling, bruising, or discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within the first few weeks. We provide comprehensive post-op care instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
Long-Lasting Results: After the fat cells settle and integrate into the new area, the results are permanent. Maintaining a stable weight is important for long-term results, as weight fluctuations can affect the transferred fat.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in Focus
For women considering breast enhancement without traditional implants, fat transfer offers two tailored approaches:
Fat Transfer Without Implants: Ideal for a modest enhancement of around one to two cup sizes. This pure fat grafting technique uses only your own harvested fat cells to create natural volume and improved breast contour.
Hybrid Breast Augmentation: Combines smaller implants with fat grafting for a more significant size increase while maintaining natural aesthetics. The transferred fat refines shape, corrects asymmetries, and creates seamless transitions around the implant edges.
Naturally Integrated Results: The fat is injected in multiple fine layers with careful attention to symmetry and proportion, so your breasts move and feel authentically soft and age naturally with your body.
Minimal Scarring: Fat injections require only tiny incisions of a few millimetres, significantly smaller than implant surgery, with faster recovery and a lower risk of complications.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fat Transfer
How much of the fat survives?
Typically 50 to 70 percent of grafted fat establishes a permanent blood supply. We account for this when planning volume, and some patients choose a second session.
Where can fat be transferred to?
Most commonly the breasts, hips and buttocks, and the face. Your surgeon will advise what is realistic for your goals.
Do I need enough fat to donate?
Yes — a very lean frame may not have sufficient donor volume. This is one of the first things we assess.
Will the donor area look uneven?
Careful, even harvesting and a compression garment protect the contour. Uneven results are uncommon in experienced hands.
Reshape With What You Already Have
Fat transfer is one of the most elegant procedures in aesthetic surgery: less where you don’t want it, more where you do, using nothing but your own tissue.
