Natural Body Contouring With Your Own Tissue

Changes in weight, aging, or genetics can affect body shape and volume, sometimes leaving certain areas looking flat while others retain stubborn fat. Fat transfer to the body offers a way to redistribute volume more harmoniously by using your own fat to enhance targeted areas.

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, we perform fat transfer in Jacksonville with thoughtful planning and surgical precision. Led by plastic surgeons Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach focuses on proportion, safety, and results that look natural and feel consistent with your body.

What Is Fat Transfer to the Body?

Fat transfer to the body, also known as fat grafting, is a procedure that removes fat from one area of the body using liposuction, purifies it, and then transfers it to another location to restore volume or improve contour.

Common treatment areas include the hips, buttocks, hands, and other regions where added volume can enhance balance and shape. At Coastal Cosmetic Center, fat transfer procedures are performed in our fully accredited, on-site surgical center in Jacksonville.

The Benefits of Fat Transfer to the Body

  • Natural Volume Enhancement: Fat transfer uses your own tissue to restore volume, creating results that look and feel natural.
  • Dual Contouring Benefit: The procedure removes unwanted fat from donor areas while improving shape and fullness in targeted regions.
  • Improved Body Proportion: Fat transfer helps create smoother, more balanced contours across the body.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells that successfully integrate become a permanent part of the treated area.
  • Versatile Treatment Option: Fat transfer can be performed alone or combined with other body contouring procedures for more comprehensive results.

Is Fat Grafting Right for Me?

Fat grafting may be an option if you have areas of excess fat and also wish to restore volume or enhance contour elsewhere. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, have adequate donor fat, and maintain realistic expectations.

During consultation, we evaluate your anatomy, donor sites, and treatment goals to determine whether fat transfer in Jacksonville or another approach is best suited to your needs.

Your Fat Transfer Recovery & Results

Swelling and bruising may occur in both donor and treatment areas and typically improve over several weeks. Most patients return to light activities within a short period, with a gradual return to exercise after clearance.

As healing progresses, transferred fat settles into place. While some fat is naturally reabsorbed, surviving fat cells provide lasting volume and improved contour.
