What is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or autologous fat injection, is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to restore volume, improve contours, and rejuvenate aging areas. The process begins by carefully harvesting excess fat from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using gentle liposuction techniques. This fat is then purified to remove impurities before being precisely injected into target areas like the face, hands, breasts, or buttocks. Because fat grafting uses your own natural tissue, it reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications often associated with synthetic fillers or implants.
This minimally invasive procedure offers long-lasting and natural-looking results, making it a preferred choice for patients seeking subtle yet effective enhancements. Fat grafting can address volume loss caused by aging, weight fluctuations, or injury, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance. Patients in London, Doha, and Dubai trust experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Ali Soueid to deliver safe, personalized fat grafting treatments tailored to their unique aesthetic goals. With this technique, you can achieve smoother skin, improved facial contours, and fuller body areas without the need for foreign materials.
Fat grafting is ideal for those looking to enhance their natural beauty with a procedure that supports body harmony and delivers sustainable results. The treatment can be combined with other surgical or non-surgical procedures to maximize overall rejuvenation. Recovery time is generally short, with minimal downtime and discomfort, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles. If you’re considering fat grafting in London, Doha, or Dubai, consult Dr. Ali Soueid for expert advice and a customized treatment plan designed to enhance your confidence and natural radiance.
Areas of
Fat Grafting
Healthy Adults Seeking Natural Volume
Ideal candidates are healthy adults looking to restore volume using their own fat. They want natural-looking results without synthetic fillers or implants. Good skin elasticity helps achieve optimal contouring and smoothness.
Areas with Sufficient Donor Fat
Candidates must have enough excess fat in donor areas like the abdomen or thighs. This fat is harvested and purified for transfer, so adequate donor sites are essential. Those with very low body fat may not be suitable.
Realistic Expectations and Commitment
Good candidates understand fat grafting provides gradual, long-lasting results but may require multiple sessions. They commit to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve outcomes. A consultation with Dr. Ali Soueid in London, Doha, or Dubai will confirm candidacy.

What to expect
During Your Fat Grafting Procedure
Fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Dr. Ali Soueid in London, Doha, and Dubai, designed to restore natural volume and enhance your appearance. During the treatment, excess fat is gently harvested from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using advanced liposuction techniques. This fat is then purified to remove impurities and carefully injected into the target areas like the face, hands, breasts, or buttocks for optimal contouring and rejuvenation. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent and number of areas treated, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout.
Immediately after the procedure, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in both the donor and recipient sites. These side effects are normal and usually begin to improve within one to two weeks. To aid healing and reduce swelling, wearing compression garments on donor areas is highly recommended. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks to support proper healing. Follow-up appointments with Dr. Soueid allow for monitoring of progress, addressing any concerns, and planning any necessary touch-up treatments to ensure the best long-term results.
Fat grafting results develop gradually as transferred fat cells establish blood supply and integrate with surrounding tissues, with full effects visible after several months. This natural fat transfer provides lasting volume restoration and improved skin texture, making it a popular choice for those seeking a rejuvenated, youthful look without synthetic fillers. Dr. Ali Soueid’s expertise in fat grafting ensures personalized care and optimal outcomes tailored to your unique aesthetic goals across London, Doha, and Dubai.
