Introduction
With our Los Angeles fat grafting procedure, Dr. Macias simultaneously smooths away stubborn pockets of fat while enhancing body features that need a little extra volume, such as the breasts, buttocks, and more.
Fat grafting, also known as a fat transfer, is a surgical procedure that has become incredibly popular among both men and women. Dr. Macias first performs liposuction using a cutting-edge system to extract unwanted fat. He then reinjects the excess volume into strategic areas to create a more harmonious figure for our Marina del Rey patients.
Dr. Luis Macias is a renowned Marina del Rey plastic surgeon, recognized for achieving natural-looking results. Using the High Volume Precision (HVP) auto-grafting system, he is able to perform the following procedures with a high rate of volume retention:
Fat grafting can enhance breast symmetry and shape, and increase breast size by one cup size.
During butt augmentation, Dr. Macias will take fat from the surrounding areas – such as the belly and hips – and inject it into the buttocks. This creates a more prominent backside while also improving its size and shape.
Hip dip removal. Transferring a small amount of fat to the hips can fill depressions in this area, creating a smoother contour.
Dr. Macias can create a more proportionate overall figure by artistically injecting fat and redistributing excess volume.
The hands can reveal your age more quickly than any other feature. Adding subtle fat to the area can restore a youthful look. If yours are thin and bony with unsightly tendons
To be considered an ideal candidate for fat grafting in Marina del Rey, you should:
For those in Los Angeles, your initial journey begins with a personalized consultation in our Marina del Rey office. Throughout this visit, Dr. Macias will assess your goals, evaluate your trouble areas and donor fat sites, and determine whether fat grafting is the most suitable approach for achieving your desired results. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, review before-and-after photos, and discuss the specifics of the HVP system and what makes Dr. Macias’ technique so effective. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll develop a customized surgical plan to ensure your final results are as natural and balanced as possible.
Dr. Macias will review your surgical plan with you one more time at our Los Angeles surgical facility and mark the donor and enhancement areas before you’re placed under anesthesia. The procedure begins with gentle liposuction, using the HVP system to harvest fat from targeted areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This fat is then purified and carefully reinjected into your chosen enhancement zones, whether that’s the breasts, buttocks, hips, or hands, with a focus on creating smooth and natural contours.
Surgery may take anywhere from one to several hours, depending on the extent of your procedure. Once complete, you’ll be monitored as you wake from anesthesia and then released to recover at home with a loved one.
The recovery period for fat grafting varies, depending on the individual patient and the areas treated. You may experience swelling, soreness, and bruising post-surgery. These effects will begin to subside within two weeks and will be mostly resolved within three months.
The cost of Fat Grafting in Marina del Rey and Los Angeles ranges between $7,500 and $15,000. The cost of a fat grafting procedure varies, depending on the experience of your surgeon, the facility where you’re having the operation, necessary medical tests, the type of anesthesia used, and more.
