Feeling the effects of ageing on your face and body and in mourning for the fresh look you enjoyed in your youth? Looking to achieve a more shapely or sleek silhouette, rounder buttocks or a perkier cleavage? Or perhaps you want to correct or improve the results of previous surgical procedures.
If you’re need of rejuvenation or correction but want to avoid the more invasive options available, then you should be aware that fat is the future for aesthetic transformation. Recent innovations in fat grafting procedures has made it an increasingly popular choice for patients who are looking for an effective and more natural alternative to implants or fillers for different areas of the face and body.
Fat grafting or fat transfer, also known as lipofilling, uses an individual’s own fat to enhance their appearance. A minimally invasive procedure, which means no scars and a quick recovery time, fat transfer/ fat grafting can also be used in combination with implants for the best and most natural results.
Fat grafting/ fat transfer is a procedure that takes fat from one part of the body and uses it to fill in or smooth irregularities, add volume and sculpt defined contours to different areas on the face and body.
Excess fat is first of all removed from the patient’s body from what is known as a ‘donor area’, usually the abdomen or inner thigh. Using a limited form of liposculpture, the fat is aspirated using a small tube, or cannula, which is inserted via tiny incisions of around three to five milimilitres in length.
Once the fat is removed, it is processed using a special technique to turn it into pure liquid fatty tissue that is ready to be injected into the treatment area. Very small amounts of fat are skillfully injected into the tissues of the treatment area, the surgeon taking care to ensure even distribution so that the injected fat is surrounded by healthy tissue. This ensures the transplanted fat is supplied with oxygen and nutrients and reduces the risk of rejection and reabsorption into the body. Even in the most successful cases, you can expect around 20-30 per cent of the transplanted fat to be absorbed by the body in two to three months following the procedure; this is entirely normal and surgeons include this loss in their calculations when judging how much fat will need to be taken from the patient’s donor site in order to achieve the required results. For long lasting of best results, 2-3 session of fat transfer may be required for desired result.
Fat grafting/ fat transfer surgery will alter your shape and overall appearance, so careful thought needs to be given prior to going ahead.
At Cocoona, we ask for you to conduct a self-evaluation to help you assess if you are one hundred per cent ready, both physically and mentally, for fat grafting/ fat transfer surgery. You should ask yourself the following questions:
Once you have clarity on the above, the next step is to find the right surgeon and clinic. These are of paramount importance.
You need a surgeon who is experienced in performing fat grafting/ fat transfer surgeries, has a sound reputation and proven results. You should also look for a surgeon who will give you honest and realistic advice about what you can and can’t achieve with this procedure.
A good clinic is one that has an experienced and highly skilled surgical team, licensed aestheticist(s), well trained nursing staff, an excellent reputation, and a low complication rate. Of course, the clinic also needs to be licensed with the relevant authorities for the country or region it is situated in. At Cocoona, we tick all these boxes.
The anesthetic protocol required for fat grafting/ fat transfer will vary from patient to patient depending on the volume of fat to be extracted from the donor area. Small volumes of fat can be extracted using only local anesthetic. Larger volumes, however, may require twilight anesthesia or, in rare cases, even general anesthesia.
Your surgeon will be able to advise further in line with your individual case.
Men or women who:
The body will initially absorb around 20 to 50 per cent of the fat injected into the treatment area. After this initial volume of fat has been absorbed the results are considered to be permanent.
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need to book an initial consultation with our surgeon. As with almost any aesthetic procedure, the cost will depend on the following factors:
Procedures – The size and location of the area or areas to be treated.
Surgeon’s Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience. Obviously, a reputable surgeon who is established and has a successful track record will charge higher fees.
Clinic/ Hospital – Fees also depend upon the quality of the facility chosen for the operation.
Geographic Area – Depending on the city/ area you decide to have the surgery in, the cost is likely be different: clinics in larger metropolitan cities tend to cost more. You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort factor with him or her should be one the most important considerations, much more so than the cost of the procedure. A cheap procedure could turn out to be an expensive proposition in the long run.
You can expect to experience swelling in both the donor area or areas, and the area or areas that have been treated. This swelling usually starts to reduce after approximately three days after which you can resume your normal activities.
Your surgeon will be able to advise further in line with your individual case.
Once you are clear about your reasons for having a fat grafting/ fat transfer procedure and have decided to proceed, call us to fix an appointment.
On the appointed day, the expert surgeon who will perform the surgery will consult with you. During the consultation, you should expect the following:
Feeling apprehensive before the surgery takes place is entirely normal. Be sure to discuss any fears or concerns you have with your surgeon and don’t hesitate to ask any questions related to the results you hope to achieve.
Being well informed is being well prepared. Apart from checking that your clinic and doctors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, here are some more areas that you should explore:
Please feel free to add any more questions that you wish to this list before your consultation.
After your initial consultation, you will need to make the final decision regarding your surgeon. Never choose your surgeon simply based on how much the treatment will cost. Instead, focus on the following:
License & certification – is the surgeon licensed and certified to conduct fat grafting/ fat transfer procedures by a reputable body?
Expertise & experience – the number of years of experience/ how many fat grafting/ fat transfer procedures the surgeon has performed previously
Before/ after pictures – evidencing their capability of past performance
Clarity on possible results – whether they are providing you with realistic expectations and honest feedback
Professionalism & comfort factor – if you feel comfortable with the professionalism and manners of a surgeon, and feel you can trust him/her with your face and body, then that’s the surgeon you should consider
Safety philosophy – if the surgeon is ready to put you at risk by recommending or agreeing to perform multiple unrelated surgeries and/or procedures on the same day or within a short period of time, you should refuse to proceed and go elsewhere.
Patient testimonials & reviews – A good reputation and a large number of positive patient testimonials and reviews on independent forums should be an important consideration in your process of choosing the right surgeon
Keep in mind that there are hidden costs in the long term and greater risks (including threat to life), associated with a surgery where costs, safety and skills are compromised. Always be wary of a plastic surgeon or clinic offering very low costs and/ or miraculous results.
After your initial consultation with the surgeon, once you are satisfied with the outcome of the ensuing discussions and have confirmed that you will go ahead with your chosen consultant, a date will be fixed for the procedure.
Here are some of the important steps that you must take before the procedure:
Our surgeon and patient counselor will guide you thoroughly about what you need to do so that you are completely at ease and ready for surgery and beyond.

I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
