Fat grafting is a cosmetic surgery procedure wherein fat from one area of the body is transferred into another. As you age, parts of your body begin to lose volume and other parts begin to accumulate it. Typically, areas like buttocks, thighs, lower abdomen have excess fat, while your face loses it. Aging results in sagging of the skin (typically the face) and wrinkling. By restoring fat in these areas, we restore a more youthful and attractive appearance.

Till about 22- 25 years ago, the only choice to rejuvenate your face was the face lifting procedure. However, fat grafting and fat fillers is the preferred choice today.

The preferred areas from which the fat is harvested include the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. What is more, the fat in these areas does not reduce significantly even after exercise. This kind of fat is therefore ideal for harvesting and transferring to another part of the body that needs it, as it does not change dramatically even with exercise. Consequently, the results of fat grafting last for a longer duration. 

Fat grafting is also called facial fat rejuvenation, fat transfer, free fat transfer, autologous fat grafting or transfer, micro-lipoinjection, and fat injections.
