Frequently Asked Questions About Fat Transfer and Injections
WHAT ARE FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTIONS?
Fat transfer and injections, also called fat grafting, is a procedure that redistributes unwanted body fat removed via liposuction to another area of the body. By placing the removed fat in another area, such as the buttocks or the face, patients can enjoy natural enhancement that produces a more youthful or contoured appearance. This is a key technique in the Brazilian butt lift procedure, but many patients also use this treatment to restore facial or hand volume and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. With this process, fat can also be injected into the breasts as part of an advanced technique of breast augmentation.
HOW MUCH DO FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTIONS COST?
The cost of your fat transfer and injection treatment at Eko Plastic Surgery will vary depending on the treatment plan we develop for you. During your consultation, Dr. Eko will discuss your cosmetic goals and treatment needs in order to determine the treatment approach that best suits you. For this reason, we will not be able to provide you with the exact cost of your treatment until you had the chance to come in and discuss your treatment goals with our esthetician or nurse injector.
WHAT IS FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTION TREATMENT LIKE?
The first step in a fat transfer treatment is collecting unwanted body fat via liposuction. Patients often choose to remove fat from the abdomen, hips, or legs to contour their figure in the process. Once the fat is removed from the body, it is purified in a centrifuge to remove impurities. Then, the purified fat is injected into the desired treatment area. The length of this process, as well as the types of anesthetic used, will vary depending on the location and extent of treatment.
WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTIONS?
The recovery after your fat transfer and injection treatment will depend on several variables, including:
‣ The location where fat was harvested from
‣ The location where fat was transferred to
‣ The amount of fat transferred
During your initial consultation, Dr. Eko will provide you with specific instructions and let you know what you can expect from your recovery. Generally, most patients have to take a few days off of work and other activities to rest and recover from treatment.
WHEN WILL I NOTICE RESULTS FROM MY FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTIONS?
After the fat transfer and injection process, the areas where fat is injected will appear swollen and overly augmented. The full results are typically visible about three months after treatment. Typically, some of the injected fat absorbs back into the body within a few months. To compensate for this, Dr. Eko will strategically inject extra fat into the treatment areas, ensuring that you achieve optimal results.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS FROM A FAT TRANSFER AND INJECTION LAST?
Unlike dermal fillers and injectables that are broken down by the body, transferred body fat becomes permanent after injection. Although it can still change gradually due to the natural aging process, patients can enjoy long-lasting results from their fat transfer and injection treatment.

FAQs about Body and Thigh Lift
What is the average thigh lift recovery time?
You can usually return to light activities within two weeks. Full recovery often takes several weeks, depending on the procedure’s extent.
Will there be visible scarring after the procedure?
There will be some scarring, usually placed in discreet areas. Over time, scars typically fade with proper care and sun protection.
How long do the results of a thigh lift last?
The results of thigh lift surgery in Palm Desert can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While your skin will naturally age over time, the improvement in contour is generally permanent.
Can I combine a thigh lift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a thigh lift with procedures like a tummy tuck or arm lift as part of a full body contouring after weight loss plan. Dr. Eko, your plastic surgeon for thigh lifts in Palm Desert, can discuss the best combination based on your goals and health.
How can I get a thigh gap?
The thigh gap is a highly sought-after cosmetic trait. People with a thigh gap have a small gap between the thighs when the legs are together. For some, a strict diet and exercise can create a thigh gap. Unfortunately, a thigh gap is often difficult to obtain. If you are interested in achieving a thigh gap, you may be able to achieve one with an inner thigh lift at Eko Plastic Surgery.
What is the difference between inner and outer thigh lifts?
Inner and outer thigh lifts are two different approaches to the thigh lift procedure, which can be performed together or individually. An inner thigh lift targets the inside of the leg. It is often ideal for patients who experience discomfort due to their legs rubbing together or those who desire a thigh gap. An outer thigh lift targets the outside of the legs and the lower hips. It is often ideal for patients pursuing a thigh lift treatment to enhance their figure.
What is the difference between an upper and lower body lift?
Upper and lower body lifts are two different approaches to the body lift procedure, which can be performed together or individually. An upper body lift targets the arms, chest, and upper back. A lower body lift targets the abdomen, lower back, thighs, and buttocks. Both procedures eliminate stubborn fat and excess skin to create a more contoured figure.
