We all want to look as young as we feel. When you glance in the mirror, you want your reflection to match the energy and vitality you carry inside. But with age, stress, and our modern lifestyle, fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss start to show especially on our face and hands.
But what if we told you that your own body holds the secret to youthful, radiant skin?
Dr. Purnima Mhatre, leading Cosmetic Dermatologist at Dr. Purnima Skin Care Clinic, introduces a breakthrough in skin treatments: Autologous Fat Transfer — a natural, safe, and effective way to restore facial volume and reverse signs of aging.
What is Autologous Fat Transfer?
Autologous fat transfer involves removing fat from one part of your body (like thighs or buttocks) and injecting it into areas that need rejuvenation—typically the face, hands, or other body depressions. Since it uses your own fat, there is zero risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
This skin treatment not only fills in creases and fine lines but also improves the texture and vitality of your skin offering long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Why Choose Fat Over Fillers Like Botox?
While Botox and synthetic fillers temporarily treat wrinkles, fat transfer goes a step further. It restores lost volume, smooths deep creases, and helps contour facial features. Unlike synthetic fillers, fat transfer provides structural enhancement with a substance your body already knows and accepts.
Aging, Lifestyle & Your Skin: What's the Connection?
Our modern lifestyle takes a toll on our skin. Factors like:
Smoking
Excess alcohol
Chronic stress
Nutritional deficiencies
…accelerate aging. These not only deepen lines but lead to hollow cheeks and sagging skin. While aging is natural, skin treatments like autologous fat transfer help minimize its visible effects without surgery or chemicals.
How is the Fat Transfer Procedure Done?
Performed under local anaesthesia, the process is quick and painless:
Extraction: Fat is harvested from thighs or buttocks.
Purification: It is then centrifuged to remove impurities.
Injection: The refined fat is carefully re-injected into targeted facial or body areas.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Fat Transfer?
Autologous fat transfer is ideal for:
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Under-eye hollows
Sunken cheeks
Facial deformities
Back of hands
Body depressions (post-liposuction or injury)
Because the fat adapts to your tissue, the results look and feel entirely natural.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Unlike synthetic fillers that may last 6–12 months, re-injected fat can last for years, especially in low-movement areas like cheeks. Results vary depending on metabolism and lifestyle, but with proper care and nutrition, the outcomes are long-lasting.
Why It’s Safe: The Body’s Own Building Blocks
Since the fat comes from your body, it is completely biocompatible. There's:
No chance of allergy
No immune response
No synthetic chemicals
It’s a completely natural skin treatment for facial rejuvenation—ideal for patients seeking subtle, elegant enhancement.
