Fat Grafting Services from a Renowned Cosmetic Surgeon in the Tampa Bay Area

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a cosmetic surgery procedure that the team at Tampa Surgical Arts is proud to complete. With this procedure, you can restore the youthful contours to your face in a natural way. Our renowned cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Manik S. Bedi, expertly performs fat grafting for clients in the Tampa Bay area and takes great pleasure in helping individuals unleash their beauty and regain their confidence with this simple procedure.

What Is Fat Grafting?

Fat grafting is a non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedure that uses the fat from your own body (think: your buttocks, hips, stomach, and thighs) to plump another area of your body. It can fix depressions in your skin, fill in lines or wrinkles on your face, or augment your lips or cheeks. This procedure is especially helpful for individuals who have noticed the volume in their face decreasing or want to smooth out the wrinkles or folds on their face, all of which happens during the natural aging process.

What Does a Fat Grafting Procedure Look Like?

Dr. Bedi will begin the procedure by making an incision at the donor site – that is, the place on your body where the fat will be extracted. He will harvest the fat cells using liposuction. A laser will liquefy the fat, and then the cells will be drained. Once drained, they will be processed and purified so they are suitable to be injected back into your body. Dr. Bedi will use a syringe to inject the fat cells and then massage them to ensure they are evenly distributed.

What Are the Benefits of Fat Grafting?

Some of the advantages you’ll enjoy with this procedure include:

  • Since you’ll be using your own fat cells, there is no risk of your body rejecting the fat transfer or of you having an allergic reaction.
  • It is a non-invasive procedure that provides long-lasting results.
  • The healing period is minimal, usually just a few days, and you will be back to your normal routine very quickly.
  • Because your own fat is used, the results are very natural.

What Are the Treatment Considerations to Keep in Mind?

Fat Grafting

Some patients opt to combine fat grafting with another cosmetic surgery procedure, such as a brow lift, liposuction, a tummy tuck, or a neck lift. If you’re thinking of doing so, keep in mind that the recovery process will be longer than a traditional fat grafting procedure. Your body will be recovering from two different procedures, and each carries its own healing period.

What Does the Post-Operative Period Look Like?

Swelling and bruising are the most common symptoms you’ll experience following a fat transfer. You may also notice that the injection site looks enlarged, perhaps even overfilled. This is completely normal and means your body is working to absorb the fat. Over-the-counter medication can be used for any discomfort, and Dr. Bedi will send you home with instructions on how to massage the area over the coming days.

OPTIMIZING FAT TRANSFER

Fat transfer to the hips can be optimized by utilizing a closed loop fat transfer system.

This means that fat remains in a sterile system until it is ready for transfer.

We use a proprietary system and have a unique formula to wash the fat.

This special solution gets rid of 99.999% of the bacteria that might be present and more importantly, for those who struggle with hip dips, promotes fat cell growth factors.

***BEDIFINED + Healthy Lifestyle = Best Results

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how they optimize fat transfer.

AB SCULPTING

Our most common client lives a healthy lifestyle and wants to fine tune/enhance their body.

Liposculpture is not meant for someone looking for a quick fix or extreme weight loss.

Properly done ab etching should highlight your underlying abs.

Most commonly, you will see the definition of the obliques, semilunaris, and linea albea (similar to this client).

Very few will look balanced with transverse abdominus definition (horizontal ab lines).

This beautiful mother is 2 years post-op.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what can be achieved with ab sculpting.

Procedure: 4D Liposculpture 360⚡️

Starting Foundation: 5`3", 151 lbs, BMI: 26.7

GYM + HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

How do you tell if the curves were made in the gym, surgery, or a combination of both?

Natural and balanced is IN.

Overdone and multiple swiss cheese like entry points are definitely OUT.

***BEDIFINED + Healthy Lifestyle = Best Results

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what you can achieve with contouring plus a healthy lifestyle.

SUPER SKINNY BBL

These are by far the hardest cases:
-extremely thin tissue envelope is less forgiving
-almost impossible to find the fat
-managing expectations
-everyone else says no to doing them

This beautiful client came to see me for ab sculpting and fat transfer.

Does your surgeon take on challenging cases?

I would love to hear in the comments section what other surgeons you think would do this case!

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what to expect with a super low BMI fat transfer.

FAT TRANSFER

Fat is most commonly transferred to the buttocks, and we also do fat transfer to the breasts.

The uptake in the breast region is typically lower than the buttocks.

If you have skin laxity or want to go up multiple cups sizes; then an implant with or without a lift will be your best option.

This beautiful client came to see me for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia correction plus enhancement of her breasts and buttocks.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you are a candidate for fat transfer.

Procedure: 4D Ab Sculpting with PAH correction (Internal/External RF) plus BBL + Fat Transfer to Breasts⚡️🍑🫒

Starting Foundation: 5`4", 160 lbs, BMI: 27.5

PREGNANCY

A super common question we get it is: "What happens if I become pregnant after my procedure?"

Genetics and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the main factors at play.

If you are blessed with good skin quality, then you might snap back to your pre pregnancy body.

If you maintain a healthy lifestyle (mindset + physical activity); your results will be next level.

This beautiful client had lipo plus a BBL elsewhere and came to see me for a revision.

She had 4D ab sculpting plus BBL and became pregnant shortly afterward.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what might happen after pregnancy.

Procedure: Revision 4D Ab Sculpting plus Round 2 BBL (laterals/hip dip correction)⚡️🍑

Starting Foundation: 5`3", 152 lbs, BMI: 26.9

LIMITING BRUISING / SWELLING

The most amount of bruising and swelling our clients will experience is during the first few weeks.

We have a proprietary formulation in our tumescent (numbing medication) and special medications used while you are asleep to limit your bruising.

This client was UNABLE to get the anti bruising cocktail due to her medical history (meaning she is super bruised/swollen).

She is about 3 weeks post-op in this video.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what you can do to limit your swelling and bruising.

LOW BMI FAT TRANSFER

Clients who are skinny/ have minimal fat are typically the most challenging to create natural curves.

Yes, we are of the few centers that can do a fat transfer, and most clients will have to gain weight.

BODY CURVES

For some clients, liposculpture 360 will achieve a natural balance.

Other clients who want to fill their hip dips to get more dramatic curves will benefit from fat transfer (BBL).

SITTING PROTOCOL

Body sculpting with fat transfer is an investment in yourself.

Some clients will elect to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for a long time to maintain their results.

Doing gluteal workouts after a BBL is definitely recommended after you get the green light from your surgery team.

This beautiful client is about 9 months post-op.

Can you guess how long this client has been using her BBL pillow?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATE how long to use your BBL pillow.
