How Much Does A Fat Transfer Cost?

Fat transfer may be your solution if you’re looking for a long-term solution to a lack of volume in your body or face areas. But how much does a fat transfer surgery cost? Let’s dive into the details.

What Affects The Cost Of A Fat Transfer?

We would love to give you a straightforward answer about how much fat transfer costs and not just some vague response like, “Well, it all depends on….” But the truth is that it does depend on a few key surgical factors, such as:
  • Where your surgeon will harvest the fat for transfer
  • Where on your body you desire to add volume through the transfer of fat cells
  • How much fat is necessary to accomplish the effect you want 
Other things that influence the cost of fat transfer include:
  • Your surgeon’s experience level and background
  • Whether your procedure is at a surgical facility or a hospital
  • The geographic location of your surgery
  • Additional costs like pre-op and post-op appointments, anesthesia, and post-surgery care supplies

What Types Of Fat Transfer Procedures Can You Choose?

What areas of your body can you have fat transfer surgery? Fat transfer procedures are both body and facial surgeries. Let’s go over some of the areas that you can enhance with this method.

Body

The breasts and buttocks are the two primary areas of the body that surgeons use the fat transfer method.
  • Breasts
A more natural approach to breast augmentation is fat transfer to the breasts. This surgery may be a good option for those who want to add volume to their chest but are worried about the safety of breast implants or how their body may respond to them.
  • Buttocks
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) adds fat to your buttocks–but in a good way! It creates a rounded, curvy figure by moving fat from your chosen area to the buttocks.

Face

Body fat transfer procedures, including facial fat transfer, are popular. Most patients choose facial fat transfer to enhance their lips or cheeks, though other areas, such as the jaw, can also benefit from fat transfer surgery.
  • Lips
Say goodbye to repeated lip filler injections. With a fat transfer procedure, you can get the full, pouty look you want and results that last.
  • Cheeks
Fat transfer to the cheeks can provide a definition that enhances your entire facial profile. It produces a rounded, contoured look that will be stunning with or without makeup.

What Is The Average Cost Of A Fat Transfer Surgery?

Different areas of the body require different amounts of fat transfer. For instance, if you’re having this procedure for your cheeks or lips, you’ll likely pay less than if you’re having it for your breasts or buttocks (though this isn’t always the case). We’ll list the average cost of fat transfer to these areas to give you a better idea of the potential cost of this long-lasting procedure.
  • Breasts: $9,932 (can cost between $4,378 and $17,500)
  • Buttocks: $6,525 (can cost between $6,000 and $18,000)
  • Lips: $3,000 (can cost between $2,000 and $6,000)
  • Cheeks: $5,000 (can cost between $2,500 and $12,000)
