The first step in the fat transfer process is the removal of fat tissue via a procedure known as liposuction. Dr. Madnani performs the procedure using local anesthesia. Entry points are made to insert a narrow tube called a cannula directly into fat pockets. The cannula gently loosens and removes fat cells.

The fat is then purified to prepare it for injection. Injections are strategically placed in different layers and different parts of the face to achieve the desired results. There are no incisions needed to perform this part of the treatment. 

Fat transfer is performed in Dr. Madnani’s office in a single treatment session on an outpatient basis. Most patients are able to return to work within 5-7 days after the procedure. Any mild discomfort can be managed with oral pain medication administered over the first few post-op days.

Results of fat transfer can be seen right away. Fat transfer offers long-term volumization that may last many years before any type of touch-up procedure is required. 

Dr. Madnani performs a variety of fat transfer procedures in his office, with the ability to tailor the procedure to the unique needs of each patient. To learn more about the fat transfer process, contact Dr. Madnani’s office at (332) 216-0176.
