All of us have fat or adipose tissue present in our bodies. Cosmetic surgeons now use these freely available fat cells to enhance certain body areas. Fat can add volume and rejuvenate the areas into which it is injected.
You can do all this with an autologous fat transfer or grating in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus. Talk to our plastic surgeons to know more about this treatment and the fat grafting cost in Bangalore.
Fat grafting, also called fat transfer or fat injection, is a method where the fat is extracted from one area of the body and transferred to another area of the body. Here this naturally occurring material is harvested and used to rejuvenate and augment another area or areas.
We have fat deposits in our body, and often there is an excess in certain areas. Now you can achieve two benefits from a single procedure. The excess fat from one area is removed, processed, and injected into another area to improve the contour.
Fat is nowadays preferred over fillers for facial rejuvenation as it has many benefits and lasts longer. Fat is the ideal solution for people who don’t want implants to add volume to areas like the buttocks or breasts.

Fat transfer or lipofilling is a popular method to sculpt the body with one’s fat. The first step is fat removal, which can be accomplished through liposuction mainly from the abdomen, hips or thighs. The process is undertaken under anaesthesia, and through minor cuts using cannulas, the fat is sucked out. The fat is then processed, purified, and transferred to smaller syringes for injections.
Areas to be enhanced are cleaned and marked. Meticulously the fat is injected into the areas where augmentation is needed. Different types of anaesthesia or sedation are used for patient comfort as decided by the surgeon.
You can immediately see the results from the fat grafting that is highly satisfying.
AFT is a daycare or outpatient procedure, and you can go home the same day. Apply ice and cool compresses for any discomfort or pain. Do not disturb any surgical dressings if applied. On the first day, you will see some bruising and swelling that can increase the next day. Take the prescribed pain medications for pain control.
Your surgeon will give area-specific care instructions. For example, in a BBL, sitting on the buttocks for some days is not advised. After 4 to 5 days, remove your dressing, shower and clean the injection area. Do not rub or strain the area in any way.
Depending on the augmented area, you can resume light activities after 2 to 3 days. But avoid high-impact exercises or strenuous activities until you get clearance from your doctor.
Stay well hydrated and eat a healthy diet. Rest and give your body time to recover. Return for follow-ups as scheduled. After three weeks to a month, the swelling diminishes greatly. However, it can take 3 to 6 months to see the final effects.
Autologous fat transfer is generally a safe procedure when done by experienced and board-certified plastic surgeons. As it is a surgical procedure, it still carries some risks.
At Aesthetics Plus, our surgeons don’t believe in overfilling the area as there is a higher chance of death of the fat tissue. Fat needs blood supply to survive, and when too much fat is put into an area, fat necrosis is at risk. Some bleeding under the skin may lead to the formation of a hematoma that has to be evacuated.
Another dangerous risk is of fat embolism. When a piece of fat enters a blood vessel, it can cause blockage. With this, the usual risks are bleeding, infection, reaction to anaesthesia, change in skin sensation, and numbness.
Asymmetry and lumpiness are observed in some patients.
The best way to minimize all these complications is to choose a plastic surgeon skilled in this procedure who can adequately balance the safety and aesthetics.
Fat grafting is a highly individualized procedure, and it is difficult to estimate the cost of fat grafting in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus without a consultation and examination.
Many factors play a role in determining the price of fat grafting, like the area and extent of fat grafting, the number of sittings required, duration of the procedure, the surgeon’s skill, anaesthesia, additional procedures, medical facilities, consumables, and so on.

Wonderful experience with Aesthetic plus. Dr. Surindhar is incredible, not only has explained me entire procedure but also ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I am so glad I chose Aesthetic Plus and would highly recommend.
It was a great experience to get treated from Aesthetic Plus. The service, doctors, helpers and environment was quite friendly and comfortable. This treatment has changed my life into something better. I would recommend you all to give it a try and find yourself how they change your life too.... Thanks to Team Aesthetic Plus & DR. Surindher Sir
Visited Dr Surindher for a procedure which I was contemplating for a very long time. He made me extremely comfortable and explained everything in detail which made me gain confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure went well with no pain at all.Post the procedure there was minor discomfort for 2-3 days and Dr Surindher was always available on call to help address any concern and to follow up with the progress.The post operative follow up was brilliant. Highly recommended Dr Surindher! Cheers and thank you !
I've known Dr. Surindhar for many years now, when he performed a surgery for removal of my axillary lymph nodes which was such an investment to my health and an addition to it's aesthetics was a bonus. I like his approachability n the precision of work, be it non or invasive jobs- big or small. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic/ aesthetics related work.
Got a chemical peel from Dr.Surindher for my acne scars. My skin felt very smooth and brighter after the procedure. Had a really comfortable experience at the clinic and doctor was very patient in answering all my frequent follow up questions.
Nice place. Neat and clean. Courteous staff. Knowledgable doctor good hands didnt force me and my husband regarding procedures and gave us all the facts. I got a mummy makeover( tummy tuck + breast lift) and hubby got a hair transplant with the Aesthetics Plus team. Very happy with the result. Waiting for hubby's final result. Thank you DrSurindher and team. Keep it up
Hair transplant and gynaecomastia correction done. Had surgery before elsewhere but depression and scarring was there, which was corrected very well and no drains and actually no pain at all. then got FUE also done last year. Very happy. will recommend to all. thank you.
Yes, autologous fat grafting in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus is safe, and the fat used is from your own body and has no side effects. When done by an experienced plastic surgeon, an AFT is a highly satisfying and safe procedure.
The results of the procedure are immediately evident. But some swelling can set in. Not all fat survives after a fat transfer; some can get reabsorbed or die. Give time for the swelling to settle and the fat to reach its final volume. It can take up to 3 to 6 months to see the outcome.
No, the results are not permanent. Ideally, they should last from 4 to 5 years, after which you may need a repeat procedure to give your desired look.
Refrain from rubbing or putting pressure on the treated area. In the case of face fat transfer, sleep with the head elevated for the first few days. Do not exercise or perform any strenuous or high-impact activity. Have the patience to see the results by allowing the swelling to subside.
Take rest as much as possible to help the body recover. Follow the surgeon’s instructions strictly and keep the incisions clean and dry. Eat healthily and keep well-hydrated.
The scars are tiny and are hardly visible on complete healing.
No, all the injected fat does not survive. Some fat gets reabsorbed, and sometimes the fat cells may die. Survival depends on the area of fat injection and the surgeon's expertise. Overfilling the area often decreases the survival rate and is not the same for every individual.
Fat is a natural material and hence does not cause any side effects. It is readily available and very effective in augmenting any area of the body. Recent studies have shown that fat contains stem cells in fat tissue with regenerative properties. Fat grafting has less downtime than other cosmetic surgery procedures, and fat gives more natural-looking contours than implants or fillers.
In the case of significant augmentations, achieving the desired result in one sitting is impossible. Hence, a second procedure might be required. Also, when there is a higher fat loss, the plastic surgeons may advise a second session.
At Aesthetics Plus, we give high priority to the needs of the patient. We first understand your desires and expectations and then formulate your treatment plan. Our board-certified and experienced surgeons are committed to giving you safe and natural-looking results.
Our team is there to help you at every step of the surgical process. We are transparent about the costs and don’t have any hidden charges.
