Does all of the transferred fat stay after a fat transfer procedure?
This is one of the most important things to understand when researching fat transfer in Turkey.
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, involves removing fat from one area of the body, preparing it and transferring it to another area such as the face, breasts or buttocks.
But not every transferred fat cell will necessarily remain.
During healing, some of the transferred fat can naturally be reabsorbed by the body. The remaining fat needs time to establish a blood supply, which is why the final appearance is assessed after the healing process rather than immediately after surgery. Flymedi's current guidance notes that transferred fat settles gradually over the months following treatment.
Weight changes can also affect transferred fat because the surviving fat cells continue to behave like fat cells elsewhere in the body.
The amount of fat available, donor areas, treatment area and individual anatomy all need to be assessed before a surgeon can create a treatment plan.
Flymedi helps international patients compare partner clinics and surgeons and coordinate appointments, accommodation and local transfers around their treatment.
