Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is one of the most effective ways to restore a youthful appearance. As we age, we start to lose essential volume and fat all over the body. Restoring this tissue with a procedure such as fat grafting can help you maintain a youthful appearance for years to come. This is just one of the many personalized aesthetic procedures we are proud to provide at Flores Plastic Surgery. Interested in finding out what fat grafting may be able to do for you? Contact our office in Miami to learn more.
What Is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from a donor site on the body (usually the abdomen, love handles, thighs or a similar area) and transferring it to an area in which the patient would prefer to have it. The area the fat will be transferred to will depend on your own personal preferences, but common areas include the face, buttocks and lips. Almost any area of the body that is subject to loss of fatty tissue with age is a popular treatment for this procedure.
The process of fat grafting begins by harvesting and purifying fat from donor areas on the patient’s own body. Donor sites typically include areas such as the outer thighs, abdomen or buttocks.
After the fat is purified, it is then readministered to targeted areas via injection. Common treatment areas include the face, breasts and hands. Areas like these are typically most severely affected by the loss of fatty tissue, meaning they tend to show the signs of aging more readily than other areas. By restoring fat to these areas, they can remain youthful-looking for years to come.
Fat grafting is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The exact length of the procedure varies from patient to patient, but it generally does not take more than a few hours to complete. Most patients can be sent home to rest the same day.
During your consultation, our doctor will discuss your aesthetic goals with you and help you decide if a fat transfer is the right procedure for you.
The Role of Adipose Stem Cells in Fat Grafting
Thanks to adipose-derived stem cells, fat grafting has become more efficient and longer-lasting than ever before. Once injected, stem cells will encourage the body to continue to produce tissue in the treated areas. This means that you can continue to enjoy your results for many years following your procedure.
We now enable all our patients undergoing this exciting treatment to store their stem cells here for future needs! Whether it’s for treating age-related medical conditions or promoting younger-looking skin. Ask our team about this amazing opportunity!

Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS
by BARBARA M.
Category: reviewsI was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.
Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

Category: reviewsThere are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!

Category: reviewsGoing through breast cancer is a difficult and, in my case, lengthy journey. I have seen many doctors. My experience with Dr. Flores and his staff has been absolutely wonderful. He inspires confidence and has a calm, professional demeanor. Most importantly, his skill level is top-notch. I'm so grateful for the care I have received, and would highly recommend Flores Plastic Surgery to anyone!
