Fat Transfer
When a man or woman has weight fluctuations or moves through the normal aging process, they lose that smooth, plump look in specific body areas where volume once resided. A terrific way to restore lost volume is through an advanced cosmetic technique known as a fat transfer.
A fat transfer extracts fat from a place on the body and injects it into a specific area that could benefit from additional volume. Fat transfer procedures can be performed on widespread areas such as the breasts or buttocks or on delicate and smaller areas such as the laugh lines, lips, cheeks, or under the eyelid. People who want the best, most natural enhancement often choose fat transfer over implants or dermal fillers. New Orleans, Louisiana, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters uses the most advanced fat transfer techniques to create natural-looking, appealing outcomes.
Men and women who wish to have more smoothness and volume in specific places on the face or body that appear hollow, thin, or deflated may be appropriate candidates for the fat grafting (transfer) procedure. This specialized enhancement is even more desired because it provides an autologous way to produce results by incorporating the patient’s own fat tissue.
Patients need to be at a certain weight and have sufficient fat to extract for the transfer. In addition, patients must be non-smokers, as fat grafting uses only healthy tissue for the most effective outcome.
When undergoing a fat transfer, you will be put under the appropriate kind of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia or numbing method will depend on how much fat tissue is being taken out, including the area where it will be placed.
Dr. Walters uses a special cannula to precisely extract the fat with liposuction, so it can be harvested, separated, and prepared (which preps the highest quality fat for syringes). After prepping the injection site, the extracted fat will be transferred into the area chosen. The process of injecting is completed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained. For some areas, numerous injections will be necessary.
Board-certified in both plastic surgery and general surgery, Dr. Jules Walters has extensive training and experience, specializing in body contouring and breast enhancement procedures that he often combines as part of a mommy makeover. He performs advanced techniques, such as Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation and Hi-Definition Liposuction, and is known for creating attractive, natural-looking tummy tuck and breast lift results.
He is active in the following organizations:
When you combine his credentials, integrity, and patient-centered approach, Dr. Jules Walters is one of the top choices for plastic surgery in New Orleans.
Our care for you continues long after you leave the office. Your recovery experience includes:
After completing the transfer process, you will begin a healing phase. Remember, there is generally more than one area of the body that needs to be carefully treated: the area involving liposuction and the injection sites.
The recovery process may be longer if a larger place on the body is addressed. As an example, a fat transfer for lip enlargement will typically only warrant a 1- to 2-day healing period, whereas a transfer to a more vast body part, such as the butt or breasts, can take more days. Each area will appear swollen with some possible bruising, but the outcomes can be seen right away. Another perk is the area where liposuction was used will look slimmer. Fat grafting yields beautiful and lasting outcomes, but some transferred fat will reabsorb back into the body. In some patients, another transfer may be necessary later on. There is almost no scarring that is noticeable with this treatment.

This patient from Metairie, LA underwent an unbelievable transformation of removing her excess fat and toning her body overall! Dr. Walters performed a tummy tuck at his Metairie, LA office. In addition to the tummy tuck, the patient underwent liposuction of the abdomen, waist and back, as well as fat grafting to the hips to create a natural contour. She was in her mid 40's and she really wanted to lose weight to get down to a slimmer figure.

She reached out to Dr. Walters' office located in Metairie, LA and he recommended having a tummy tuck, liposuction, and fat grafting done.
