Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon

MBBS, MS - General Surgery

Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Adults wanting natural volume restoration (face, breast, or body contouring)
  • ✓Sufficient donor fat available at a harvest site
  • ✓Good general health suitable for a combined liposuction + grafting procedure
  • ✓Realistic expectations that some transferred fat volume will be gradually reabsorbed

Procedure Details

Performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the areas involved. Fat is first harvested via gentle liposuction from a donor area (commonly the abdomen or thighs), then purified and re-injected in small amounts into the target area to add volume. Duration is typically 1.5-3 hours.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-5 Swelling and bruising at both donor and injection sites; compression garment worn at the donor site.
  2. Week 2 Most swelling in the treated area begins to settle; some overcorrection early on is normal and expected to reduce.
  3. Week 4-6 A clearer picture of the surviving fat volume becomes visible.
  4. Month 3-6 Final, stable result is apparent once graft survival has settled.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Partial reabsorption of transferred fat (variable per patient)
  • !Irregular contour or lumpiness
  • !Infection at donor or recipient site
  • !Fat necrosis (small hardened areas) in a minority of cases
  • !Asymmetry

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of the transferred fat survives?
Survival varies by individual and technique, which is why a degree of initial overfilling is often planned for.
Is fat transfer safer than synthetic implants/fillers?
Because it uses your own tissue, there is no risk of implant-material rejection, though it carries its own set of risks discussed during consultation.
Can the results be topped up later?
Yes, a further session can add more volume later if desired once the initial result has stabilized.
Will liposuction scars be visible at the donor site?
Incisions are tiny and placed in inconspicuous locations, fading significantly over time.
