Fat Transfer in Bellevue, WA
Fat transfer in Bellevue uses your own purified fat to add natural volume to the breasts, buttocks, or face.
Quick answer
Fat transfer (fat grafting) removes fat from one area with liposuction, purifies it, and injects it where you want more volume — the breasts, buttocks, hands, or face. Because it uses your own tissue, results feel natural and you slim the donor area at the same time.
Fat transfer is a two-in-one procedure: Dr. Day harvests fat from an area you’d like to slim (such as the abdomen or flanks), processes it, and reinjects it to add soft, natural volume elsewhere. It’s used for the Brazilian butt lift, natural breast enhancement, facial rejuvenation, and hand rejuvenation.
Not all transferred fat survives long-term, so Dr. Day plans for some volume settling and may slightly over-correct. Results that remain after the first few months are typically durable.

You may be a good candidate if:
- ✦
You want natural volume without implants
- ✦
You have a donor area with enough fat to harvest
- ✦
You want subtle enhancement and contouring together
- ✦
You are at a stable weight and a non-smoker
Recovery
