Fat Grafting in Englewood, NJ

You may be a candidate if you have areas with pinchable excess fat (abdomen, hips, thighs) and desire natural volume restoration to the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Callahan will evaluate your donor sites, skin quality, and treatment areas to confirm the safest, most effective plan.

Downtime depends on where fat is harvested and where it’s placed. Expect swelling and bruising in both donor and treatment sites, with tenderness that improves steadily over the first week. Many patients resume desk work within several days, while more strenuous activity is delayed per our guidance. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions—including garment use for body areas—to support smooth healing.

Some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed in the early months; the fat that “takes” becomes a living part of the area and can offer long-lasting improvement. Depending on your goals and anatomy, Dr. Callahan may recommend a staged approach or a touch-up session to refine symmetry or achieve additional fullness.

Incisions for liposuction and fat placement are small and strategically hidden whenever possible (natural creases or less-visible areas). They typically fade well over time. We’ll review incision locations with you in advance and provide scar-care guidance as you heal.

Yes. Transferred fat behaves like fat elsewhere in your body. Significant weight loss can reduce volume in the treated area, while weight gain can increase it. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight helps preserve your outcome.
