Autologous Fat Transfer

Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is a great income generator for your practice and is the ideal filler for patients and physicians. Given the choice, most patients will prefer their own tissues as compared to synthetic filler products and are intrigued by the concept of taking fat from one part of the body and putting it in another. Autologous fat costs nothing for the raw materials and has a minimal cost to harvest and prepare for re-injection. The patient receives more filler while the physician obtains a higher professional fee and profit from this procedure as compared to commercial "dermal filler" products. When larger amounts of fillers are needed, fat transfer/grafting is more economical to the patient and allows for a win-win situation for patient and physician.
