About the Fat Transfer Procedure
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, consists of injecting the patient’s own fat into areas where they wish to add more volume. The fat cells injected come from “donor sites”, such as the belly, the thighs, or the buttocks, and Dr. Fodero aspirates them into a syringe, purifies them, and later carefully inserts them into the “recipient site”.
The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes and one hour and recovery time varies from one to two weeks while the bruising and swelling subside. Since fat transfer is minimally invasive, local anesthesia is applied so as to ensure comfort and minimize pain. In that same vein, any discomfort during recovery time can be managed with medication that the doctor will prescribe.
Be your body’s advocate. Talk to Dr. Fodero today to find out what is right for you. As with any medical procedure, speak to your doctor to make the most informed decision.

Butt Fat Transfer or BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
While the question used to be ‘Does my butt look big in this?’ Now, a bigger backside is all the rage! From a subtle ‘tweakment’ to slightly accentuate your natural curves to full-blown plumpness, a butt fat transfer, more famously known as the Brazilian butt lift (BBL), can do just that!

Breast Fat Transfer
A breast fat transfer is the best of both worlds: losing unwanted fat and enlarging the breasts to sexy fullness! You can see it everywhere in Tinsel Town, especially in celebrities who made the most of saying goodbye to their post-pregnancy fat by injecting it into their breast to give them their plumpness back.
