Fat
Transfer Overview Fat transfer is a useful adjunctive procedure used with liposuction and liposculpture. The fat removed at the time of these operations may be harvested and injected into other sites to improve body contour (including the face, legs and buttocks). However, it may also be used in isolation (without primary liposuction) for these specific anatomical sites. Frequently Asked Questions • What type of anaesthetic is used? • What happens after the procedure? • What are the risks? • What costs are involved? Please contact Mr Banwell’s office where his staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you. What type of anaesthetic is used? Mr Banwell recommends that the majority of this kind of surgery be performed under a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist. However, smaller areas, if suitable, can be performed under local anaesthetic without a problem. What happens after the procedure? Usually the operation is performed as a day case. Most people report that pain, discomfort and stiffness of the first few days are minor. Paracetamol is usually sufficient. It is necessary to take things easy for the first few days. A tight fitting elastic garment will be provided and this reduces the swelling of the treated areas as well as providing shaping of the area treated. Additional taping may also be required to aid this process and will need to be replaced in the outpatient clinic. |
