Fat transfer, also referred to as fat grafting, lipomodelling or lipofilling, is a surgical technique that relocates fat from one area of the body to another. This procedure serves a dual purpose: it sculpts the areas from which fat is extracted and enhances the target areas by adding volume.
Fat transfer to the hip dips is beneficial for anyone in London seeking to address noticeable contour defects in the hip area, aiming for a smoother silhouette.
The procedure starts with liposuction to extract fat, typically from areas like the thighs or abdomen. The fat undergoes purification to eliminate any impurities before it is inserted into the chosen treatment area.
Fat transfer in London is usually carried out under general anaesthetic as a day case procedure, allowing you to return home on the same day, provided you have someone available to assist you for the initial 24 hours.
Fat transfer removes excess fat from areas where it’s undesired and redistributes it to areas the patient desires enhancement, resulting in contouring of multiple body areas simultaneously.

Complications with fat grafting are fortunately extremely rare. The complications include infection, bruising, contour abnormalities and numbness from liposuction. The biggest issue to consider is that the amount of fat that works (or takes) is variable and hence the outcome can be unpredictable. Ordinarily around 30-50% of the fat that is transferred melts away, and this depends on the area that is being fat grafted. Patients should be aware that they may require a second fat transfer procedure to achieve the volume that they desire.
