Body lipostructure, also known as autologous fat transfer, uses fat taken from areas with excess (like the abdomen or thighs) and reinjects it into areas needing volume or contouring—such as the buttocks, breasts, hips, or scars. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we combine artistic precision and advanced surgical technique to reshape your body using only your natural tissue.
Lipostructure is a two-part procedure
Gentle Fat Harvesting
We begin by carefully extracting fat from areas with excess—such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using low-impact liposuction techniques that preserve fat cell integrity.
Strategic Fat Reinjection
The purified fat is then meticulously reinjected into areas needing volume or contour improvement, such as the buttocks, breasts, hands, or scarred regions, ensuring smooth, natural-looking enhancement.
Areas we treat with Body Fat Transfer:
Buttocks: For contour and volume
Breasts: For subtle augmentation or reconstructive correction
Hips and hip dips: To smooth and feminize curves
Scars and soft tissue deformities: To fill irregularities or trauma-related volume loss
Hands: To restore youthful fullness and hide veins or tendons
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have excess fat in areas like the abdomen or thighs
Want natural-looking body enhancement
Prefer to avoid silicone implants
Are in good general health

Fat transfer uses your own tissue, making it more natural in look and feel, with no risk of implant-related complications.
That depends on how much donor fat is available and your anatomy, but large-volume transfers—especially to the buttocks—can be safely done in staged sessions.
Possibly. Since some of the fat is naturally reabsorbed, a touch-up session may be needed to perfect volume and contour.
