FAT TRANSFER
Lipotransfer is an advanced technique that uses autologous fat (from the patient’s own body) to sculpt, add volume, or improve tissue quality. It offers natural, safe results with minimal risk of rejection.
Common indications for lipotransfer:
• Buttock augmentation and contouring
• Facial and hand rejuvenation
• Correction of post-liposuction irregularities
• Breast augmentation with autologous fat (in selected cases)
• Repair of traumatic or surgical scars
In my practice, I incorporate cutting-edge techniques such as RAFT and UGRAFT, which allow for more precise, harmonious, and safe results, especially in the context of high-definition liposculpture.
What is RAFT?
RAFT is a fat transfer technique specifically targeting the rectus abdominis muscle, primarily used in high-definition (HD) liposculpture procedures. It involves injecting fat into strategic anatomical planes of the abdomen to enhance muscle definition, achieving an athletic and toned appearance.
Advantages of RAFT:
• Enhancement of the muscular anatomy of the abdomen.
• Natural results.
• Ideal for patients seeking abdominal definition.
• Safe and minimally invasive technique when performed with proper anatomical planning.
What is UGRAFT (Ultrasound-Guided Fat Transfer)?
UGRAFT is an ultrasound-guided fat grafting technique, allowing real-time visualization during fat infiltration. This ultrasound guidance ensures that the graft is placed in the desired plane, avoiding complications and ensuring a more precise and symmetrical distribution.
Benefits of UGRAFT:
• Greater safety in anatomically complex areas.
• Minimizes risks such as fat embolism or infiltration in inappropriate planes.
• Allows for more controlled symmetry and more predictable results.
• Especially useful in procedures on the buttocks, abdomen, face, and other areas with delicate structures.
Common applications of liposuction using the RAFT and UGRAFT techniques:
• Abdominal contouring with athletic results.
• Buttock augmentation with enhanced anatomical security.
• Facial filler in deep, targeted areas.
• Correction of post-liposuction irregularities.
• Body rejuvenation with improved skin quality.
Why choose these techniques?
As a specialized plastic surgeon, my priority is to achieve natural and safe results, customized to each anatomy. The combination of technology, anatomical knowledge, and detailed planning allows for superior and long-lasting results.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Recovery is usually quick, with minimal discomfort. The use of compression garments and avoiding direct pressure on the grafted areas is recommended for the first few weeks. Results improve progressively as the fat integrates into the recipient tissue.
