Fat Transfer Surgery in Dallas – Natural Enhancement with Your Own Fat
What Is Fat Transfer Surgery?
Fat transfer surgery, also known as fat grafting, is a natural body sculpting procedure that uses your own fat to enhance areas like the breasts, buttocks, face, or hands. The process involves liposuctioning fat from one area (such as the abdomen or flanks), purifying it, and carefully injecting it into another area to restore volume, shape, and contour — without implants or fillers.
At Innovations Medical, we’ve performed thousands of fat transfer procedures — all done while you’re awake, without general anesthesia.

How Fat Transfer Works
Fat transfer procedures use your own body fat to add volume and contour to the areas that need enhancement. The process begins with the extraction of fat from areas where it is unwanted, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the desired area. This method not only reduces the risk of allergic reactions but also ensures a natural look and feel.
What Is the Fat Transfer Process Like?
- Consultation & Mapping – Identify areas to remove fat and areas to enhance
- Awake Liposuction – Fat is removed safely while you’re awake
- Fat Purification – The fat is cleaned and processed for reinjection
- Injection & Sculpting – Dr. Johnson precisely places the fat for natural volume
Recovery is fast — most patients return to light activity in 2–3 days.

Types of Fat Transfer Procedures
Fat transfer can be applied to various areas of the body to enhance volume and contour. Below are some popular fat transfer procedures:
Enhanced Breast Augmentation
This procedure uses fat transfer to enhance breast size and shape, providing a natural alternative to traditional implants. Fat is harvested from areas with excess, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then carefully injected into the breasts. This method offers a natural feel and look, with the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking modest volume increases and a more organic approach to augmentation.
Enhanced Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
This advanced technique combines fat transfer with precise liposuction to achieve a rounder and more contoured buttock appearance. By removing fat from problem areas like the waist or thighs and transferring it to the buttocks, patients can achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing silhouette. The use of advanced liposuction techniques allows for better shaping and definition, making this procedure ideal for those wanting comprehensive body contouring.
Natural Breast Augmentation
Fat is taken from areas like the thighs or abdomen and transferred to the breasts to restore volume and shape, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. This procedure is perfect for anyone who wants a subtle enhancement without synthetic implants. The fat transfer method ensures a natural feel and eliminates risks associated with implants, such as ruptures or capsular contracture.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Fat is transferred to the buttocks to enhance size and shape, using fat harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs. This popular procedure not only increases the volume of the buttocks but also improves the overall body contour. Patients benefit from a dual approach that reduces unwanted fat in donor areas and enhances the buttock area, resulting in a more proportionate and attractive figure.
Buttock Thread Lift
This procedure uses special threads to lift and round the buttocks, often combined with fat transfer for enhanced results. The threads provide immediate lift and support, while the fat transfer adds volume and fullness. This combination offers a minimally invasive solution for anyone who wants a more youthful and uplifted appearance without the need for implants.
3D Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
This technique involves fat transfer and liposuction to sculpt and contour the buttocks, providing a more defined shape. The 3D approach allows for precise targeting and reshaping of the buttocks, addressing specific concerns such as asymmetry or flatness. By enhancing the three-dimensional contour of the buttocks, this procedure delivers more comprehensive and satisfying results.
