To perform the fat transfer procedure, Dr. Roesner will first remove the excess fat using a hollow tube and a vacuum device, similar to how liposuction is used to remove unwanted fat. After “harvesting” the fat, it is strategically injected into areas of the body to alter overall appearance.
By using natural fat, the risks of complications are decreased and there is no chance of an allergic reaction. Additionally, transferred fat provides a more natural appearance when compared to a solid implant.
