Looking to enhance your natural curves, restore lost breast volume or achieve a smoother, more balanced silhouette without implants?
At Harley Street Clinic Surrey in Reigate, we offer personalised fat transfer and fat grafting procedures with Professor Ertan Erel, Dr Abdul and George Filobbos, using your body’s own fat to restore volume, refine contours and enhance selected areas of the body.
Whether you’re considering breast fat transfer, hip dip correction or body contouring, fat grafting offers an alternative to synthetic implants for appropriately selected patients.
What Is Fat Transfer and How Does It Work?
Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting, is a surgical procedure that involves removing unwanted fat from one area of your body and carefully transferring it to another area where additional volume is desired.
Fat is commonly harvested through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, thighs or flanks, before being processed and strategically placed into the treatment area.
This approach offers two potential benefits in one procedure:
- Targeted fat removal to refine the donor area.
- Natural volume enhancement using your own tissue rather than synthetic implants.
Breast Fat Transfer – Natural Breast Enhancement Without Implants
For patients seeking a subtle increase in breast volume, breast fat transfer can offer an alternative to traditional breast implants.
Using fat harvested from your own body, Professor Ertan Erel and Mr George Filobbos can assess whether fat grafting may help:
- Enhance breast volume and fullness
- Improve breast symmetry and proportions
- Restore volume lost following weight loss or pregnancy
- Refine selected breast contour irregularities
- Create a soft, natural-looking enhancement
Unlike breast implants, fat transfer uses your own living tissue, allowing surviving fat cells to integrate into the surrounding breast tissue.
Breast fat transfer is generally most suitable for patients seeking a modest enhancement, rather than a dramatic increase in cup size. Some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed, and additional sessions may be required.
Hip Dip Correction – Create Smoother, More Balanced Curves
Hip dips are natural indentations between the hips and upper thighs, influenced by bone structure, muscle and fat distribution.
Although completely normal, some patients would prefer a fuller, more rounded hip contour.
Hip dip fat transfer may be considered for suitable patients looking to:
- Soften visible indentations around the hips
- Enhance the transition between the waist, hips and thighs
- Improve selected contour irregularities
- Achieve a smoother, more balanced silhouette
- Enhance their natural proportions using their own fat
The procedure involves carefully transferring harvested fat to selected areas to improve shape and volume.
Hip dip correction requires a specialist surgical assessment, as fat transfer around the gluteal region carries particular risks and must follow appropriate safety protocols.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer?
For suitable patients, fat grafting offers several potential advantages:
- Natural tissue enhancement: Uses your own fat rather than implants.
- Two-in-one contouring: Combines fat removal from a donor area with volume enhancement elsewhere.
- Soft, natural-looking contours: Transferred fat may integrate with surrounding tissue.
- Personalised results: Treatment can be tailored to individual proportions and goals.
- Potentially long-lasting enhancement: Fat cells that establish a lasting blood supply may remain long term.
Results vary, and not all transferred fat survives.
What Happens During Your Fat Transfer Procedure?
Your journey begins with a consultation with Professor Ertan Erel or Mr George Filobbos at Harley Street Clinic Surrey in Reigate.
During your assessment, the proposed donor and recipient areas will be examined, alongside your medical history, body proportions and desired results.
The procedure generally involves three stages:
- Fat harvesting: Liposuction is used to remove selected fat deposits from an appropriate donor area.
- Fat preparation: The harvested fat is carefully processed in preparation for transfer.
- Fat grafting: The prepared fat is placed into the treatment area using techniques appropriate to the anatomy and procedure.
The anaesthetic and surgical setting will depend on the treatment planned and individual suitability.
Recovery & Fat Transfer Results
Following fat transfer, some swelling, bruising and discomfort can be expected in both the donor and treatment areas.
As healing progresses, a proportion of the transferred fat will naturally be reabsorbed. The remaining fat may establish a blood supply and provide longer-lasting volume.
Results become clearer as swelling resolves and the transferred tissue settles over the following months.
Your surgeon will discuss realistic outcomes, recovery expectations, potential complications and whether additional treatment might be necessary.
