What Is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting or lipofilling, is a minimally invasive procedure where fat is harvested from one area of the body (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks), purified, and then strategically injected into the hands, feet, or calves to improve shape, proportion, and youthful fullness.
Because it uses your own natural fat, the results look and feel natural, with a reduced risk of rejection or complications compared to synthetic fillers.
Areas of Enhancement
1. Hands
-
Restores youthful fullness to the back of the hands
-
Smooths out tendons, veins, and bony structures that become prominent with age
-
Reverses the “aging hands” look
2. Feet
-
Adds cushioning to areas of the feet that have lost fat, reducing discomfort in walking or wearing shoes
-
Improves symmetry and balance
-
Enhances cosmetic appearance of thin, veiny, or bony feet
3. Calves
-
Corrects thin, underdeveloped, or asymmetrical calves
-
Enhances leg shape and proportion for a balanced, athletic appearance
-
Alternative to implants for patients preferring a natural enhancement
Recovery & Aftercare
-
-
-
-
Downtime: Most patients return to normal daily activities within 3–7 days (hands/feet) or 1–2 weeks (calves).
-
Swelling/Bruising: Common and expected but gradually subsides over 1–2 weeks.
-
Compression Garments: May be required for donor sites to support healing.
-
Resuming Exercise: Light activity in 1–2 weeks; strenuous activity or high-impact workouts after 4–6 weeks.
-
Results: Initial improvements are visible immediately, but final results are seen after swelling resolves (about 2–3 months).

Results & Longevity
-
-
-
-
-
A portion of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body.
-
60–80% of grafted fat typically survives long-term, creating lasting improvements.
-
Once stabilized, results are permanent, though they may be influenced by significant weight changes or aging.

✔ Can relieve discomfort in feet caused by fat loss
✔ Long-lasting results with proper care
✔ Minimal scarring and downtime
Ideal Candidates
-
You may be an excellent candidate for fat transfer to the hands, feet, or calves if you have:
-
Volume loss in the back of the hands, feet, or lower legs
-
Prominent veins, tendons, or bony contours that affect appearance
-
Discomfort in feet due to reduced natural cushioning
-
Thin or disproportionate calves
-
Good overall health and adequate fat reserves for harvesting
-
A desire for natural, subtle, and long-lasting enhancement
-
The Procedure
-
-
-
Fat Harvesting – Fat is gently removed using liposuction from donor areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
-
Purification – The harvested fat is processed and purified for reinjection.
-
Precise Injection – Fat is carefully grafted into the hands, feet, or calves using advanced micro-injection techniques for smooth, even, and natural results.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of transfer and patient preference.
