💛What you’re seeing:
PRO TIP: The catheter tip syringe 💉 fits a 10 cc Luer lock syringe to allow you to minimize syringe transfers and air exposure, and preserve fat graft viability.
💛Why it matters:
Not all fat grafting is created equal. The science behind how fat is harvested, processed, and transferred has a major impact on how much fat survives long-term.
Autologous fat grafting simply means using your own fat, gently harvested with liposuction, carefully handled , and strategically injected to restore or enhance volume naturally.
Dr. Fearmonti uses state-of-the-art techniques to maximize fat cell viability, including:
• ✅ Harvesting fat as gently as possible to preserve fat architecture.
• ✅ Using tumescent solution with optimal lidocaine concentrations to minimize cellular toxicity.
• ✅ Preserving optimal fat particle size for improved blood vessel ingrowth and long-term survival.
• ✅ Limiting repeated syringe-to-syringe transfers, which can mechanically injure delicate fat cells.
• ✅ Minimizing exposure to room air by utilizing closed grafting systems, helping maintain a more protected, closed environment during processing and transfer.
• ✅ Addition of p188, a surfactant, that stabilizes the fat cell membrane to boost survival.
These details matter. Healthier fat cells mean a better chance of long-lasting, predictable results, allowing us to improve on the traditional 50% graft take to well over 70%.
Dr. Fearmonti incorporates these evidence-based principles during every autologous fat grafting procedure, whether performing:
💛 Hybrid breast augmentation
💛Breast contour refinement
💛Hip dip correction
💛Buttock volume restoration
💛Facial rejuvenation
💛Correction of contour irregularities from prior surgery, trauma, or reconstruction
Because when it comes to fat grafting, technique isn’t just important, it’s everything.
