Fat Transfer
Over time, changes in the volume of fat tissue can affect the contours of the face and body. Loss of volume often makes the appearance look unbalanced or disproportionate.
Fat transfer is a surgical procedure that utilizes the body's own fat to restore volume naturally, while improving the contour of the area in need.
What is Fat Transfer and How is it Approached
Fat transfer is the act of transferring fat from a specific area of the body (donor) to another area that requires volume gain. The fat used comes from the body itself, making it more biocompatible and giving natural results.
At Dahayu, fat transfer is performed with measured techniques, paying attention to fat quality, even distribution, and long-term tissue safety.
