Fat Transfer

There’s nothing that can affect your appearance as quickly as losing volume. When you lose volume, you may notice the loss of definition on your cheeks, flat surfaces or tired looking skin developing gradually. Fat Transfer in Dubai restores the fullness you’ve lost with your own body fat, providing soft, natural enhancement without artificial means. At Vow Clinic we utilize precision fat grafting for restoring the lost fullness through transferring fat from one area of your body to restore the balance and smoothness to your face and body using your very own body fat.

What Is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is a natural method of enhancing and reshaping the face and body. This includes the process of transferring fat cells from a particular section of your body to a different portion of your body to add volume. In addition, it focuses on autologous fat grafting which is the precise extraction, processing and re implantation of your fat into areas where you require additional volume. Its aim is to provide a balanced, uniform, smooth appearance by adding volume naturally without utilizing artificial products.
