Similar technique is used for fat transfers to the body to add volume or to correct deformities such as may result from liposuction or after trauma. Larger caliber harvesting and injecting cannulas are used for more efficient delivery of fat. The is a higher probability that the procedure may have to be repeated for body areas to achieve the desired volume as fat take may vary depending on the area and purpose.
It is important to note that even though some fat is taken from the donor site, this will not result in adequate contouring if what you want or need is liposuction in this area. Additional liposuction will be needed for a good final result.
