Fat Transfer (Lipofilling) in Turkey: Natural Volume Enhancement
Fat transfer, also known as lipofilling, is a revolutionary procedure where your own fat is harvested and injected into other areas of the body to add volume naturally. This technique is perfect for breast augmentation without implants, buttock shaping (Brazilian Butt Lift), or facial rejuvenation. By using your own tissue, the results are more natural-looking and long-lasting, making it a popular choice among those seeking premium care in Istanbul.
Fact Check
- Process: The procedure involves three steps: extraction of fat via liposuction, processing to purify the fat cells, and reinjection into the desired area.
- Application: Common areas include the face (to fill wrinkles or plump lips), breasts, buttocks, and hands for a more youthful appearance.
- Advantage: Since your own tissue is used, there is no risk of rejection by the body.
- Duration: The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and can often be performed on an outpatient basis.
- Durability: While some fat cells are absorbed by the body, the remaining cells integrate permanently, with final results visible after about six months.
- Recovery: Expect swelling for a few weeks, but most patients can return to work within a few days.
- Anesthesia: Usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience.

FAQ
Is the result permanent?
Yes, the fat cells that successfully integrate into the target area during the healing phase will remain permanently.
How much fat survives the transfer?
A portion of the transferred fat is naturally absorbed by the body. To compensate for this, surgeons often perform a slight overcorrection. Typically, about 60-80% of the transferred fat survives and integrates permanently.
Are there scars from the procedure?
Only tiny puncture points are made at the fat extraction sites, which are barely visible and fade over time. The reinjection sites are even less noticeable, ensuring minimal scarring overall.
