Quick Summay
- Fat grafting surgery is an easy procedure that uses fat tissue from one area of the body and moves it to another for natural body contouring and enhancement — without any synthetic fillers or implants.
- At Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic, fat grafting is performed with care and finesse to augment the cheeks, mold the hips, and fill in hollow spaces — while remaining subtle, sculpted, and individual for each person.
- Fat grafting surgery is the transfer of fat tissue from one area to another. It is harvested, filtered, and carefully transferred to where it is required for volume. Made from your own fat, the result will appear and feel natural.
Restore Natural Volume with Fat Grafting Surgery
Fat grafting is a natural process to re-contour and improve the body. The technique does not use implants or synthetic fillers, but utilizes the fat cells that are already present — and then simply transfers them from one place to another, from an area with extra fat to an area that is lacking in volume.
It’s particularly recommended for facial hollows around the eyes, cheeks and temples, or for plumping a volume that has been lost because of ageing or weight loss. It can also be utilized for natural breast enhancement, contouring procedure post liposuction, and providing a softer, more youthful body line.
At Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic, it is carried out with precision and artistry, ensuring that the proportions look natural, rather than added-on.
What Is Fat Grafting Surgery?
At your consultation, Dr. Sheetal Mithran assesses your concerns, discusses your aesthetic objectives, and determines the donor site (where fat will be harvested) and the treatment site (where more volume is desired). Each treatment is tailored to provide well-balanced, natural results.
The process at Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic consists of 4 steps: Consultation and planning, gentle removal of fat, purification and transfer of fat, healing and post-examination.

Fat grafting is a recognized technique in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, with information on the procedure published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
What Happens During a Real Fat Grafting Procedure?
In one of Dr Sheetal Mithran’s fat grafting sessions, healthy fat was taken from the patient’s lower tummy through a small 0.5 cm covert incision. All of this fat was then carefully purified by removing all of the excess water and oils from the collected fat and then breaking it down into smaller fat particles.
The purified fat was only correctly injected in the face and hands, to give back the natural volume and enhance the contours.
Fat grafting can also be done in other parts of the body such as the face, hands, breast, buttocks, legs, and any other places where volume restoration is needed, explains Dr. Sheetal. The technique utilizes the patient’s own fat; therefore, it provides a natural filler effect and has a natural look.
What can Fat Grafting Surgery help with?
Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic uses fat grafting for either rejuvenation of the face or body contouring.
Fat grafting can give facial areas like hollow under eyes, cheeks and temples a fuller, youthful appearance to soften and restore volume lost to aging or weight loss.
For natural breasts, using your own fat for breast enhancement is an option for breast enhancement—no implants needed.
Buttock Enhancement The same procedure can also shape and plump up the buttocks with the individual’s own fat.
Correct Contour Irregularities Fat grafting can help correct contour irregularities left behind after liposuction.
Fat grafting can create softer, younger body contours by adding fat where needed and subtracting fat from donor site areas to create the desired effect in less than one procedure.
Fat Grafting vs. Fillers and Implants
| Feature | Fat Grafting Surgery | Fillers / Implants |
| Material | Uses your own body fat | Uses synthetic material |
| Appearance | Natural-looking results | Depends on the product used |
| Treatment | Restores volume using your own tissue | Adds volume using fillers or implants |
| Best For | Patients who prefer natural tissue | Patients comfortable with synthetic materials |
Dr. Sheetal explains it simply: fillers and fat grafting both have their benefits, but fat grafting uses your own tissue, gives a more natural result, and tends to last longer — a portion of the transferred fat absorbs naturally, while the rest stays in place permanently.
