Fat Transfer in Louisville, KY
Ready to get started?
Contact UsFat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a natural enhancement procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore volume, contour, and balance to targeted areas. By harvesting fat from one area of the body and carefully transferring it to another, this procedure enhances facial features or body contours while delivering soft, natural-looking results.
Fat transfer is commonly used to restore volume to the face, improve contours, and enhance areas affected by aging, weight loss, or genetics - all without the use of synthetic fillers or implants.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for fat transfer if you:
- Desire natural volume restoration or enhancement
- Have areas of volume loss due to aging or weight changes
- Prefer using your own tissue rather than synthetic fillers
- Have adequate donor fat available
- Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
A consultation will determine whether fat transfer is appropriate and which areas may benefit most.
The Procedure
Fat transfer is a multi-step procedure that begins with gentle liposuction to remove fat from a donor area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The harvested fat is then carefully purified and strategically injected into the desired treatment area to create smooth, balanced results.
This meticulous process allows for precise sculpting and natural integration of the transferred fat. The procedure may be performed on its own or combined with other surgical or non-surgical treatments.
Recovery
Recovery from fat transfer varies depending on the treatment areas and extent of the procedure.
- Mild swelling and bruising are common in both donor and treatment areas
- Most patients return to normal activities within one or two weeks
- Some transferred fat will naturally reabsorb; final results stabilize over time
Detailed post-procedure instructions will be provided to support proper healing and optimal results.
Results
Fat transfer offers long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement using your own tissue. Patients often experience:
- Improved volume and contour
- Softer, more youthful facial features
- Enhanced body proportions
- Long-term results once the transferred fat has stabilized
Because the fat used is living tissue, results can be long-lasting, making fat transfer a versatile and natural solution for volume restoration.
Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Dr Mays is a true professional. He and his team do great work!
Dr Mays and his staff are truly one of a kind and flat out AMAZING! The minute I had my first consult with him I knew I didn't need to look any further. I am 8 months post-op from lipo, breast reduction and tummy tuck. Unfortunately, I had a little setback from a large seroma several months ago that caused some elasticity problems. Dr Mays was confident my revision two weeks ago would yield the results I wanted. He was not wrong! I could not be more happy with my new look. Thank you for everything!
I love the ways he treated us and the results are amazing - Best plastic surgeon in Louisville KY! Indeed! Dr mays is a combination of knowledge and kindness. He really cares about what he does and the patient in front of him! I love the ways he treated us and the results are amazing !!!!
Best experience ever - one of best doctors I’ve ever met - Dr. Mays is one of best doctors I’ve ever met. He listens to what his patients wants and explains everything that they understand what the outcome will be. I was so nervous about going to his office and now I’m always at ease and I credit that to him and his amazing office staff. They truly are the nicest people ever. I’ve recommended everyone I know who is looking for plastic surgery or even Botox to Dr. Mays office.

Fat Transfer by Treatment Area
Fat Transfer to the Face
Facial fat transfer restores lost volume and softens signs of aging using your body’s own fat. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, jawline, and lips. This technique helps create a smoother, fuller, and more youthful appearance while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Fat Transfer to the Breasts
Fat transfer to the breasts enhances shape and fullness using your own fat, offering a natural alternative or complement to breast implants. This technique can be used to subtly increase volume, correct asymmetry, or refine results after breast surgery, creating a softer, more natural contour.
Fat Transfer to Buttocks
Fat transfer to the buttocks enhances shape, volume, and contour while also slimming donor areas through liposuction. This approach creates a fuller, more lifted appearance using your own fat for natural-looking, proportionate results.
Fat Transfer for Body Contouring
Fat transfer can be used to smooth, fill, and enhance various areas of the body, such as the hips, thighs, calves, or areas affected by contour irregularities. This technique helps refine shape while improving overall body balance and proportion.
Fat Transfer for Revision or Refinement
Fat transfer is often used to refine or improve results from previous surgical procedures. It can help correct contour irregularities, enhance symmetry, and restore volume in areas affected by prior surgery or trauma.
