Fat Transfer & Injections

Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carey Nease offers fat transfer and injections in Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, helping both men and women restore youthful volume and contours.
What Are Fat Transfer
& Injections?
Fat transfer, often referred to as fat grafting, is a procedure where fat cells are taken from areas like the buttocks, thighs, or abdomen and then purified. The fat is then re-injected into areas of the body that need added volume, such as the face, hands, or even the breasts.
This technique is commonly used to restore lost volume due to aging or weight loss, especially in the face, where it can smooth wrinkles, fill hollow cheeks, or enhance facial contours. Fat transfer provides a natural, long-lasting solution, as the fat used is your own, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
Another option for restoring volume is with injectable treatments like Juvedérm®, which includes products like Juvéderm Voluma® XC for the cheeks, Juvéderm Volbella® XC for the lips, and Juvéderm Vollure® XC for smoothing smile lines.Fat grafting can also be applied to the body, such as adding volume during breast augmentation or reconstruction.
If you’re considering a fat transfer treatment in Chattanooga, TN, or the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease offers expert fat transfer treatments to help you achieve a fuller, youthful appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer and Injections?
Good candidates for fat transfer must have enough fat accumulation for some to be easily removed. You must also be a good candidate for surgery and have no current or past medical issues that would interfere with the body’s natural ability to heal.
What is Fat Transfer and Injections Recovery Like?
Recovery time after a fat transfer will vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the fat grafting, how much fat is needed, and in which areas the harvested fat is being placed.
Generally speaking, you should expect to be away from work and unavailable for most social activities for at least a week. Even then, certain activities such as exercise, may be limited for several more weeks.
Swelling will initially mask the appearance of your true results, but over time, will gradually disappear. For an optimal outcome in the shortest time possible, read and follow any post-op instructions given to you after the procedure.
