Autologous fat grafting is a highly versatile technique that uses a patient’s own fat—typically harvested from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—to restore or enhance volume in targeted areas of the body. This approach allows for natural-looking results without the use of synthetic implants or fillers.
Dr. Jason J. Rosenberg, MD, FACS has extensive experience in fat grafting as part of both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, using refined techniques to achieve smooth, reliable outcomes across a wide range of indications.
Where Can Fat Grafting Be Used?
Fat transfer can be safely and effectively performed in several clinical contexts, including:
- Breast reconstruction – to refine contour, correct asymmetry, or restore volume after mastectomy or implant removal
- Post-weight loss body contouring – to address volume loss in the breasts, buttocks, or hips following significant weight reduction
- Aesthetic breast enhancement – for modest volume improvement or shaping without implants
- Correction of contour irregularities or scar depressions – from prior surgeries or trauma
Why Patients Choose Fat Grafting
- Uses your own natural tissue
- No risk of implant rejection or allergic reaction
- Improves contour in both donor and graft sites
- Long-lasting results when properly performed
- Can be combined with other procedures for comprehensive results
Dr. Rosenberg’s Expertise in Fat Transfer
With over 30 years of surgical experience, Dr. Rosenberg has performed hundreds of successful fat grafting procedures, often in combination with breast reconstruction, explant surgery, or post-weight loss contouring. His deep understanding of tissue viability and vascular anatomy ensures careful harvesting, purification, and placement for optimal long-term outcomes.
Fat grafting is both a science and an art—it requires precision, restraint, and surgical intuition. Dr. Rosenberg’s approach emphasizes safety, predictability, and natural aesthetics.
What to Expect
Fat grafting is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation. Recovery is generally mild, with some bruising and swelling at both the harvest and graft sites. Some of the transferred fat will naturally resorb, but the majority of well-placed grafts become permanent.
Results evolve over several weeks, and final outcomes are generally visible by 3–6 months.
