Wanting to look like the best version of yourself is a desire that we all have. No matter the person, we all have certain insecurities and would love nothing more than for our perceived “worst” feature to look like our “best” one. For over 30 years, a fat transfer procedure—known as fat grafting—has provided that outcome for patients across the country.
A fat transfer in Dayton at PureMD is an advanced way to improve and enhance the cosmetic appearance of multiple different body areas. Beyond that, however, the treatment also offers therapeutic benefits by healing wounds, scars, and damage following radiation treatment. Read on to learn more!

The Fat Transfer Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your treatment for fat transfer in Dayton at PureMD, you'll meet with one of our providers for a consultation. We'll listen to your concerns and goals for this treatment and make a recommendation on the best procedure for your unique needs.
Fat Transfer Treatment
Your provider will start by extracting the fat from the donor area using liposuction. Rather than eliminating the fat, however, we preserve and process it using a centrifuge—which eliminates debris, fluid, and dead cells from the fat cells. We then inject that fat in small droplets in the subcutaneous tissue of the recipient area.
Next Steps
You'll receive information from your provider on how to properly care for both the donor and recipient areas of your body. During this time, you may experience some swelling and bruising in both. We will then assess your results after 3 months to determine the success of the procedure.
Before Your Fat Transfer Procedure, You Should:
- Complete your pre-surgical visit
- Stop smoking
- Adjust certain medications as needed after a discussion with your doctor
- Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammation drugs, and other supplements that may increase bleeding
After Your Fat Transfer Procedure, You Should:
- Follow the aftercare instructions provided to you
- Visit us for your post-procedure follow up appointment
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a fat transfer procedure hurt?
It depends on the person and their tolerance for pain. Your provider will numb the donor and recipient areas with local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort during your procedure.
When will I see results?
You will see noticeable results almost immediately after treatment—with full results evident within 3 months!
Are there any risks with a fat transfer in Dayton?
