Fat Transfer Miami

Transform your body naturally, starting at $3,500. Harvest your own fat from unwanted areas and use it to enhance your breasts, face, buttocks, and more with minimal scarring and natural-looking results.

Overview

Fat Transfer in Miami

Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat via liposuction from donor areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, purifies it, and injects it precisely into areas needing volume or contour enhancement. Because it uses your own biological tissue, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually eliminated and results look and feel completely natural.

This dual-benefit procedure slims the donor area while simultaneously enhancing the target area. Results are long-lasting once the transplanted fat establishes a blood supply, and full outcomes are typically visible within six months. Svelta's experienced surgical team has performed hundreds of successful fat transfer procedures across the face, breasts, buttocks, and hands.

Price Range
$3,500 – $15,000

Cost varies based on the procedure type, the volume of fat transferred, the number of donor and recipient areas, and your surgeon. A personalized quote is provided at your free consultation.

Treatment Areas

Where Can Fat Be Transferred?

Fat grafting offers versatile enhancement options across multiple areas of the body.

Breasts

Achieve natural-looking breast enhancement without implants. Fat transfer to the breasts adds volume and improves shape using your own tissue for a subtle, organic result. Learn more about breast fat transfer →

Face

Restore lost volume, smooth deep folds, and rejuvenate a hollow or aging face. Fat grafting provides longer-lasting results than synthetic dermal fillers. Learn more about facial fat transfer →

Buttocks (BBL)

The Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat transfer to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks while contouring the waist and flanks simultaneously. See real BBL results →

Hands

Rejuvenate aging hands by restoring volume lost over time, reducing the visibility of tendons and veins for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Scars & Depressions

Fat grafting can fill sunken scars and contour irregularities, improving both the texture and appearance of affected skin areas.

Body Contouring

Slim the donor area (abdomen, thighs, flanks) through liposuction while simultaneously enhancing your chosen target area, a true two-in-one procedure.

Risks & Limitations

What Are the Risks and Limitations?

As with any surgical procedure, fat transfer carries risks, including bleeding, infection, anesthesia-related complications, and asymmetry between treated areas. Because the procedure relies on transferring your own fat, some of the transferred volume is naturally reabsorbed during healing, which is why surgeons typically place slightly more than the final target amount to compensate.

A less common, fat-transfer-specific risk is fat necrosis, where some transferred cells don't survive and can form small lumps or calcifications under the skin — uncommon, and surgical technique is designed to minimize it. If you're considering fat transfer to the buttocks specifically (a Brazilian Butt Lift), see our BBL page for additional safety considerations unique to that area. Your surgeon will walk through your individual risk factors during your consultation.

Common Questions

Fat Transfer FAQs

How long do fat transfer results last? +
Once transplanted fat cells establish a blood supply, typically within three to six months, they behave like normal fat cells and can last many years. Some absorption is expected initially, which is why surgeons often slightly overfill target areas to account for this.
What is the recovery like after fat transfer? +
Most patients rest for the first week and gradually resume normal activities in weeks two and three. Swelling and bruising at both the donor and recipient sites are common. Full results are visible within three to six months as swelling subsides and fat integrates.
Is fat transfer safer than implants? +
Fat transfer uses your own tissue, eliminating the risk of foreign body rejection and implant-related complications. However, both options have their own risk profiles. Your surgeon will help you determine which is best suited to your goals and anatomy.
How much fat is needed for a transfer? +
The amount varies by treatment area and desired outcome. Candidates typically need enough harvestable fat in donor areas (abdomen, thighs, flanks) to supply the transfer. Your surgeon will assess this during your consultation.
Can fat transfer be combined with other procedures? +
Yes. Fat transfer is frequently combined with breast augmentation, facelifts, tummy tucks, and other body contouring procedures to achieve more comprehensive results in a single operative session.
Am I a good candidate for fat transfer? +
Good candidates are in good general health, have enough donor fat available to harvest, and have realistic expectations about the results. A consultation determines candidacy for your specific treatment area and goals.
Can I finance fat transfer surgery? +
Yes. Financing options are available to help make the cost manageable. Visit our financing page for current plans and eligibility.
Will fat transfer results look natural? +
Because fat transfer uses your own tissue rather than an implant or synthetic filler, results tend to look and feel natural, integrating with the surrounding tissue as it heals.
What's the difference between fat transfer and implants? +
Fat transfer uses your own harvested fat, while implants use a silicone or saline device. Fat transfer offers a more natural feel and doubles as body contouring for the donor area, but is limited by how much donor fat is available. Implants offer more predictable, adjustable volume regardless of body fat. Your surgeon will help determine which fits your goals.
How is fat transfer performed? +
The procedure has three steps: liposuction harvests fat from a donor area such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks; the fat is purified to isolate healthy cells; then it's injected in small amounts into the treatment area to shape and add volume.
