Is fat grafting the same as fat transfer?

Yes. These represent the same entity. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds
of fat transfers and facial procedures each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results.

Yes, they are the same procedure; the fat is 'transferred' from one area of the body and is 'grafted' into another area of the body..... a wonderful redistribution producing a softer and more youthful appearance.

Fat transfer is same as fat grafting. Fat is taken from one part of the body (example belly or thighs) and injected into another site on the body (example face, hands, breasts, buttock).

Fat grafting and fat transfer are the same. Taking fat from one part of the body, processing it and injecting it somewhere else is done to help reverse the "deflation" we suffer as we age, lose facial fat, collagen, and skin thickness. Fat grafting is usually done for the face, but is also used in other areas such as the hands where age can create unwanted changes. Fat transfer is often a better alternative than fillers if there is a large amount of volume needed. Fat tends to last longer than most fillers.
The fat is often taken from the outer thigh, so a person who has essentially no body fat would not be a good candidate for fat transfer. Fat transfer is often a good adjunct to a facelift done at the same time so that the sagging skin can be lifted, and the missing volume replaced.

Yes, fat transfer and fat grafting are different terms for the same procedure. For this procedure, fat is typically taken from the abdomen or thighs and injected into the face as opposed to traditional soft tissue fillers.

Hello and thank you for your question.Yes fat grafting
and fat transfer are one and the same. I recommend that you seek out a board
certified plastic surgeon to discuss your interests.Best of luck to you

They are the same. I call it the best recycling procerure. The use of your own tissue to enhance your features and make you look as whenyou were younger is a winning game.

Yes fat grafting is the same as fat transfer. There are a number of applications for this procedure including buttocks augmentation, facial rejuvenation, chin augmentation and others.

Fat Grafting, Fat Transfer, Structural Fat Grafting, Micro Fat Grafting are all the same procedure. There are even some fat grafting procedures that are trademarked. What's important is not what the procedure is called, but the experience, training and expertise of the plastic surgeon performing the procedure.Before deciding on a surgeon, take your time looking at lots of before and after photos and evaluating the training of a plastic surgeon before selecting plastic surgeons you'd like to consult with.Fat grafting has gained popularity in recent years. This can be good and not so good. There is tremendous variability in techniques, instrumentation and experience among the surgeons that perform fat grafting, therefore, there is tremendous variability in fat grafting results. A surgeon must employ
careful preoperative planning, appropriate instrumentation and meticulous
surgical technique to perform fat grafting successfully and reproducibly. The unfortunate
reality is that not everyone who performs fat grafting is willing to put in the
level of education, training, investment in instrumentation and operative
effort required to produce aesthetically ideal results.
