Fat Grafting

Fat transfer in Orange County is suitable for any area where subcutaneous fat exists.

Areas that have an abundance of excess fat and where there is no scar tissue are the best donor sites. A reasonable amount of fat should be present. If you are naturally slim and slender, you may wish to consider an alternate procedure.

Areas where you want to reduce inches are the best places to harvest the fat. Bony sites like the knees or areas with fibrous muscle tissue are less than ideal.

No. For example, facial fat grafting does not create the same effects as prominent areas like the buttocks and breasts.  

Depending on your concerns and the results you’re hoping to achieve, fat transfer in Orange County may take multiple sessions, but one treatment is usually enough for many people to see their desired outcome.  

Fat cells are fragile and loosely connected to their blood supply. Dr. Sajjadian gently harvests these cells with a needle and syringe, then purifies them in a centrifuge. The sterilized fat gets injected into the target site in many small, crisscrossed tunnels. If there is satisfactory blood supply, fat cells will survive and add volume. A micrografting technique provides the cells with the best chance of growing in their new location.

Considerations include the treatment site’s anatomy and shape, how much fat is available from the donor site, and how many fat cells survive the harvesting, preparation, and transfer processes.

The answer to this question depends on your size and shape. Areas that lend themselves to excess fat deposits, like the abdomen or hips, often make the best donor sites.

Dr. Sajjadian only collects small fat parcels at once, which will allow the best opportunity for a new blood supply to grow. To keep fat cells intact, he is careful to use only light suction and minimal anesthetic solutions.

First, Dr. Sajjadian washes the grafted fat with a specific solution. Next, he mixes it with antibiotics and separates healthy cells from damaged ones. Lastly, he puts the purified fat into syringes for injection.

Yes, about 80% of the transferred fat should survive.

Most patients accomplish their cosmetic goals with only one operation, but you may need a follow-up for the best outcome.

It depends on the donor and treatment sites. Small areas take minimal time, but larger sizes like a breast transfer in Orange County may take two to five hours.

In fat transfer breast augmentation in Orange County, the swelling may take a few days to subside. For a Brazilian butt lift, patients feel good enough to walk after two days, but must refrain from sitting.  

No.

There is no minimum weight, but patients must have enough reserve fat to collect and transfer.

Dr. Sajjadian removes as much as he anticipates is necessary for the fat grafting. Injecting too much fat can create an overly large fat mass for the blood supply, which will cause the cells to die. If you have sufficient fat and want a significant amount transplanted, it may be best to do it in stages.

Pricing varies based on your unique anatomy, your desired outcomes, and the available fat at donor sites.
