Fat Transfer (Lipofilling)

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.
