Rating: 5 (185 reviews)

Fat grafting uses a patient’s own tissue to restore volume, enhance shape, and improve balance in targeted areas. By carefully selecting donor sites and strategically placing fat, Dr. Bruno creates results that are elegant, soft, and uniquely tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

Restoring Lost Volume

As we age or experience weight changes, certain areas, such as the cheeks, temples, hands, or buttocks, may lose volume, leading to hollowing, sagging, or diminished contours. Genetics, lifestyle, and natural aging all contribute to these changes. Volume loss can affect self-confidence, facial expression, and clothing fit. Fat grafting in Tysons Corner & Chevy Chase at James Bruno Plastic Surgery addresses these concerns using your own tissue, creating subtle refinement that feels natural rather than artificial, and restoring a refreshed, more youthful, and balanced appearance.

How Does Fat Grafting Work?

Also called autologous fat transfer, fat grafting removes fat from one area of the body and transfers it to areas that will benefit from additional volume. Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The harvested fat is purified and carefully placed in the target areas to:

Restore lost volume
Enhance contours and symmetry
Subtly refine body or facial proportions

Fat grafting can enhance the face, breasts, hands, or buttocks, offering natural improvements without implants or synthetic fillers.

Fat grafting provides both aesthetic and functional enhancements:

Restores volume lost from aging or weight changes

The Procedure: What to Expect

Fat grafting is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation in our AAAHC-certified private surgical facility. Liposuction is used to harvest fat from donor areas, which is then purified and injected into target regions. The process is meticulous:

Fat is carefully placed to restore volume and refine contours
Placement is customized for symmetry and proportion
Incisions are minimal and discreet

Depending on the areas treated, procedures may last from one to three hours. Each transfer is designed to enhance natural appearance, not create an obvious “operated” look.

Post Surgery Expectations: Your Safe Recovery

Recovery varies based on the treated areas. Mild swelling, bruising, or firmness may occur at donor and recipient sites, typically resolving within one to two weeks. Most patients resume light activity within a few days, while strenuous exercise and pressure on treated areas are limited for several weeks. Follow-up visits with Dr. Bruno ensure the transferred fat integrates successfully and that healing progresses smoothly. Final results typically emerge over several months as swelling settles and the relocated fat becomes a natural part of the body again.
