Contact UsWhat is a fat transfer?
A fat transfer is a surgical procedure that:
- Uses liposuction to remove fat from an area on the body where the fat layer is thick.
- Collects and purifies the harvested fat and then reinstates it into another part of the body that needs volume.
- Common areas where a fat transfer may be performed include the breasts, buttocks, lips, and face.
It is important to find a surgeon that understands how to select, handle, process, and transfer the fat. Las Vegas, NV, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Khorsandi studied under one of the top fat grafting surgeons in the world and has both expanded and improved upon the techniques he has mastered. Lipo with fat transfer costs can vary from patient to patient based on the amount of fat to be transferred, the number of areas of liposuction, and the number of areas the fat is going to be placed. A consultation is required to determine if this procedure is right for you.

Dr. Khorsandi's Approach
One of the major advantages of a body fat transfer is its holistic approach to augmenting and contouring the body or face. It is fat from the patient’s very own body and not a manufactured substance, which means there is no concern for rejection. However, due to the process of transferring the fat, not all of the fat cells survive the collection and some fat is reabsorbed once it reenters the body or face.
In his approach to fat redistribution, Dr. Khorsandi uses a special liposuction cannula to gently harvest the fat for filler. He carefully chooses from areas of "diet-resistant" fat to ensure lasting results that will not fluctuate with your weight. The fat selected will naturally contain stem cells, which are harvested along with the fat and preserved in the transfer. Nothing artificial is added, nor biologically manipulated before or after fat is replaced in a new position with fat injections.
Surgical Technique
During this outpatient procedure with general anesthesia, fat is removed from a preselected donor site via liposuction. If the donor site is small, a local anesthetic may be used instead. A special cannula is inserted into the area for collection, which will remove the fat deposits so that they can be purified by a centrifuge. Only the healthy fat will be used for reinjection, which will then be prepared in syringes for fat redistribution. Dr. Khorsandi will slowly reinstate the fat into the body part or facial area where volume, shape, and contours are needed. During the fat injection process, the area will be slowly massaged so the fat deposits settle in compact layers. Normally, multiple injections are necessary to create an even spread of fat and achieve an ideal outcome for using your fat for filler. Dr. Khorsandi is regularly asked to transfer fat into the breasts, buttocks, calves, under-eye area, face, and lips.
VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
Two years ago Dr. Khorsandi worked his magic on me and I couldn't have been happier. So when I wanted to get BBL and hi def on my stomach, I knew exactly who to go to! Of course, I still did some research at 3 other doctors just to make a good decision. I chose Dr. Khorsandi even though his prices was the highest because he was professional, straight forward, honest, listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable through his experience and results. I am now 6 months post surgery and I couldn't be happier with my bbl and hi def on my stomach. He also did bodytite on my arms and back for my lose skin. None of the other doctors even mentioned this. I had never never hear of this before, but I'm SO glad we did it. I have 0 lose skin!!! My results are amazing. He also did fat transfer to my butt . My abs looks so amazing and natural. I highly recommend this doctor to everyone. The facility is clean and so beautiful. They have amazing art work that makes it not feel like a doctor's office - which really helped me nerves because I am not fond of needles! All the staff are friendly and made me feel comfortable. My manager Catherine went and above and beyond for me. I am so happy. Thank you Dr. Khorsandi, Catherine and everyone at VIP!

AFTER YOUR FAT TRANSFER
The fat transfer recovery period will depend on several factors, including how many body parts were involved in the surgery and the amount of fat transferred. Liposuction and reinjection of the fat will cause swelling and bruising on both sites, which should subside within a few days. Because the incisions for liposuction were made just big enough for the cannula, scarring should be minimal. You can also expect to have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Khorsandi during your fat transfer recovery.
Expected Cost
Fat transfer costs will vary. Again, it will depend on the size of the area treated and how much fat was removed and transferred. The price can range as low as $3,000 – $5,000 and can go as high as $11,000.
