Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is an advanced procedure that harvests fat from one area of your body and transfers it to another area where volume is desired. BeautiFill® by Alma utilizes cutting-edge laser technology to enhance this process, ensuring precision, safety, and excellent results.
Fat transfer with BeautiFill® offers a natural, long-lasting solution for body contouring and volume enhancement. By utilizing your own fat cells, this procedure provides a safe and effective alternative to synthetic fillers with the added benefit of minimal downtime.
Procedure Steps for fat reduction
-
Consultation and Assessment:
-
Your journey begins with a consultation at Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics, where Dr. Katayoun Motlagh will assess your specific goals and determine the best approach for your needs. This involves discussing your medical history, desired outcomes, and any questions or concerns you may have.

Harvesting Fat:
-
The BeautiFill® procedure starts with the extraction of fat from areas where it is unwanted, such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, or back. A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
-
A small laser fiber is inserted into the target area through a tiny incision. The laser energy gently heats and liquefies the fat cells, making them easier to extract.
-
The liquefied fat is then carefully suctioned out using a small cannula. This process is minimally invasive and causes less trauma to surrounding tissues compared to traditional liposuction.
-
-
Purification:
-
Once the fat is extracted, it undergoes a purification process. The BeautiFill® system ensures that only healthy, viable fat cells are used for transfer. This step is crucial for achieving high-quality results.
-
The purified fat is separated from any impurities, leaving a concentrated amount of healthy fat cells ready for reinjection.
-
-
Injection:
-
The purified fat is meticulously injected into the desired areas, such as the breasts, buttocks, face, or hands. The injection sites are chosen based on your specific goals and the natural contours of your body.

Dr. Motlagh uses precise techniques to sculpt and enhance the treated areas, ensuring a natural and balanced appearance.
