Houston Fat Transfer Cost
The cost of a fat transfer procedure in Houston, TX, typically starts at $4,500.00. However, the final price can vary significantly based on the details of each patient’s treatment plan. The procedure consists of two main steps: first, liposuction is used to collect fat from a donor site, and then the harvested fat is grafted into another area to enhance volume and contours.
Several factors influence the overall cost, including the size of the area being treated, the amount of fat being transferred, and the procedure’s complexity. It’s important to remember that most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like fat transfer. Nevertheless, financing options are available to help patients manage the expense more comfortably.
Recovery and Healing Process
Fat Transfer Results
The results of a fat transfer procedure are often noticeable immediately after the procedure, with the treated area appearing more voluminous and contoured. As the swelling subsides over the course of a few weeks, the final results begin to take shape. The transferred fat cells will continue to thrive in their new location, providing long-lasting results that can last for years.
However, it’s important to understand that the results can change slightly over time due to factors like aging and gravity. The goal of a fat transfer procedure is to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your existing features and restore volume to areas that have experienced volume loss. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Vitenas will ensure that the results are maintained, and any necessary adjustments are made.

While fat transfer is generally a safe procedure, it is more involved than dermal filler injections and may require a follow-up procedure. Some of the transferred fat may be absorbed by the body, resulting in less dramatic results.
A fat transfer procedure can take anywhere from one to four hours to complete. This time frame can vary depending on the volume of fat cells being harvested and the area being treated.
Recovery after a fat transfer is typically minimal, with most patients able to return to work the following day. Some minor discomfort, swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these symptoms generally subside within a few days.
The results from a fat transfer are considered long-lasting. The transferred fat cells continue to thrive in their new location, providing volume and contour for years. However, factors such as aging and gravity can slightly alter the results over time.
Fat grafting is done under general anesthesia.
First, anesthesia is given. Tiny incisions are made in the donor area, and liposuction is used to remove fat. The fat is prepared and injected into the recipient area.
