Where to Harvest Fat for Fat Grafting?


Fat grafting offers a natural solution for replenishing volume in the face, providing clients with a rejuvenated appearance.


During consultations with our clients, a common question arises: "Must fat be harvested from the thighs or abdomen for fat grafting?"




The choice of harvesting site significantly impacts the survival rate of grafted fat. Fat found in the thighs and abdomen is plentiful and denser compared to other areas. This density means there's less risk of damaging fat cells during harvesting. The lower the damage, the better the chances of successful engraftment.


However, individuals who are underweight may face challenges in obtaining fat from these areas. In such cases, alternative sources like the buttocks, which often have a sufficient fat supply, can be considered. If even that’s impossible, alternative procedures may be recommended over fat grafting.



To determine the most suitable approach for your needs, it's essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon. They can assess your unique circumstances and recommend the most effective procedure for achieving your desired results.
