What is fat transfer?
Fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing unwanted fat from one area of the body, such as the stomach or thighs, and transplanting it to another area, such as the face, breasts, or buttocks. It is a natural way to enhance your appearance and restore volume to areas that have lost shape and fullness.
How does fat transfer work?
Using liposuction a fat transfer procedure removes unwanted fat from one area of the body, such as the stomach or thighs. The harvested fat is then carefully processed and purified before being injected into the desired area. Because the fat used for the transfer comes from your own body, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
What areas can I have fat grafted to?
Fat transfer can be used to enhance many areas of the body, including the face, breasts, buttocks, and hands.

I have seen Dr. Salameh and Carli and can’t say enough great things. Dr. Salameh was extremely informative and made surgery as painless as possible. Carli always gives great skin advice. I drive all the way from Louisville to visit this facility and won’t go anywhere else.

My entire experience with Salameh Plastic Surgery in Newburg was the absolute best! The ladies that did my virtual & in person consultation were great. They answered every question I had and put me at ease with any concerns I had. Everyone that had a part in my procedure took excellent care of me! The girls that got me ready, the anesthesiologist, Dr.Saba & everyone in the OR was amazing. I will definitely come back to Dr Saba for any procedures I need in the future. Start to finish was a great experience!
