Before the fat can be added to the area of choice, the fat must be harvested from the part of the body that is holding excess fat. The fat is harvested from the body using a small incision and a local anesthetic. Once an adequate amount has been removed to accomplish the task, the fat is then liposuctioned out and purified. The fat is purified and prepped to be used in small syringes to help the process go as smoothly as possible. The area that you would like to add the processed fat to be injected into is then sterilized and prepped. Once ready, the fat is injected just like a filler would be placed.
