Fat Transfer

Natural Volume Restoration for Body Balance and Subtle Enhancement

At PFRANKMD, we believe aesthetic care should enhance your body’s natural proportions — not distort them. Fat transfer, also known as autologous fat grafting, offers a refined solution for patients seeking volume restoration in areas like the buttocks, thighs, or hips using their own purified fat.

This treatment is ideal for addressing localized indentations, volume loss, or asymmetry that can occur with age. One commonly treated area is the “thutt” — the space between the outer thigh and the lower curve of the buttocks. As volume diminishes over time, this region can become indented, creating an uneven contour. By reinjecting a patient’s own fat, we can restore smoother transitions and lift the area subtly without exaggerating natural curves.

Aesthetic & Longevity-Driven Body Sculpting

Fat transfer at PFRANKMD is performed under local anesthesia using advanced tumescent micro-liposuction techniques. The fat is then carefully processed to preserve its integrity and stem-cell-rich quality — second only to bone marrow in regenerative potential. Once purified, fat is re-injected with artistic precision to reshape and rejuvenate the targeted area. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours, making this a low-downtime option for those seeking gentle, natural enhancement.

Please note: Fat transfer is not for everyone. At your consultation, our team will evaluate your candidacy based on goals, lifestyle, and anatomy. For some, alternative modalities may offer better outcomes. The safety and long-term satisfaction of our patients always guide our recommendations.

FAQ: Fat Transfer at PFRANKMD

What is fat transfer?

Fat transfer involves removing fat from one part of the body using gentle liposuction, purifying it, and then reinjecting it into another area to enhance volume or correct contour irregularities.

What is the “thutt”?

The “thutt” is the area where the buttocks meet the upper thigh. It is a common location for age-related volume loss, which can create indentations or an uneven appearance. Fat transfer smooths and refreshes this area naturally.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to daily activities within 24–48 hours. Swelling and mild bruising may occur and typically resolve within 1–2 weeks.

Is fat transfer permanent?

Fat transfer results are long-lasting. While some of the transferred fat may be naturally reabsorbed, the remaining fat that integrates will stay. Final results are usually visible within 3 months.

Am I a candidate for fat transfer?

Ideal candidates have enough donor fat, realistic expectations, and are in good health. This treatment is not for everyone, and alternative treatments may be recommended if fat transfer is not the best match for your goals.

Are there risks?

All procedures carry some risk. These may include asymmetry, reabsorption of fat, or uneven texture. Choosing an experienced provider and following post-care instructions minimizes these risks.

Is this the same as a BBL?

No. A traditional BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) often involves aggressive fat transfer and reshaping, which can create exaggerated results. At PFRANKMD, we take a more conservative, medically advanced approach rooted in natural aesthetics and safety.
