Fat Injections
Fat Grafting Melbourne
Fat grafting is designed to replace lost volume.
Also known as “autologous fat transplantation”, fat injections is a procedure by which fat is harvested from one part of a patient’s body and injected back into other areas. This helps:
- Restore lost facial volume
- Reshape areas of the face or body
- Add definition and contour
- Fill out lines and wrinkles
Fat Transfer to Face
Facial fat transfer involves taking fat typically from the thighs or buttocks. The fat is used to fill in deep wrinkles and creases or to plump thin lips and cheeks.
Fat transfer can change the look or shape of a particular feature, such as an underdeveloped jawline. Fat injection can be performed as part of a facelift, and the results can be seen immediately.
Breast Fat Injection
Fat injections can be used in breast surgery to replace volume and achieve more balanced breasts.
Fat injections are also used in breast reconstruction following breast cancer treatment or prevention, and congenital breast deformity.
Your Consultation
Fat Injection surgery patients first meet Mr Mutimer or A/Prof Shayan where you will discuss the procedure in detail, technique to be used and recovery time. Photos will be taken. You will receive information about the surgery itself, the surgeon who will perform the surgery and costs.
Once you have had time to review all the information from the first consultation and you want to progress with your surgical journey you will meet Mr Mutimer or A/Prof Shayan again for a further consultation.
You will also meet with the Patient Advisor and Practice Nurse to discuss surgical documentation and pre and post-operative care instructions.
7 days after this consultation your surgery dates can be booked and payments made.

Cosmetic Surgery is real surgery and requires a general anaesthetic, both carry risks. All surgery has a post operative recovery time. We will discuss this in detail at your consultation. Your recovery time may be impacted by a range of factors, including your type of work, personal responsibilities, support available, and your health history, as well as the surgery itself. All surgery carries risks, complications are not common but they can occur and these will be discussed at your consultations.
