Autologous fat transfer harvests fat from one area of the body (abdomen, thighs) and reinjects it into areas needing volume restoration such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. China's leading cosmetic surgery centers have perfected nanofat and microfat grafting techniques, achieving high survival rates through advanced purification methods like the Coleman technique and SVF enrichment. Patients benefit from dual contouring effects — slimming the donor site while adding natural volume to the target area.
Consultation & Body Mapping
The surgeon evaluates donor site fat availability and target area volume needs. 3D simulation technology shows expected outcomes. Blood work and health clearance are completed.
Duration: 1 hourFat Harvesting via Liposuction
Using tumescent liposuction with fine cannulas, fat is gently extracted from donor areas (abdomen, flanks, or thighs) to preserve fat cell viability.
Duration: 45-90 minutesFat Processing & Purification
Harvested fat is processed through centrifugation or filtration to separate viable adipocytes from oil, blood, and fluid. Some clinics add PRP or SVF for enhanced fat survival.
Duration: 30-45 minutesFat Injection & Sculpting
Purified fat is meticulously injected in micro-droplets using blunt cannulas to create smooth, natural-looking volume. Multiple passes ensure even distribution and maximum fat survival.
Duration: 60-90 minutes- Natural results using your own tissue — no foreign materials
- Dual benefit of liposuction contouring plus volume enhancement
- Long-lasting results as surviving fat cells are permanent
- Lower cost in China with access to SVF and stem cell enrichment techniques
- Variable fat survival rate (50-80%) may require touch-up sessions
- Temporary swelling and bruising at both donor and recipient sites
- Rare risk of fat embolism if injected improperly
- Asymmetry may develop as swelling resolves
