Fat injections IN DUBAI

Fat injections offer a natural way to restore volume, soften lines, and enhance facial or body contours by using your own fat. At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, our focus is always on safety, ethical care, and achieving results that look balanced and refined. Fat transfer is ideal for patients who prefer an organic solution that works with the body rather than synthetic fillers.

WHAT FAT INJECTIONS CAN DO

Fat transfer is a versatile technique. It can improve facial volume, rejuvenate ageing areas, and enhance specific features without the artificial look that sometimes comes with traditional fillers. Since the fat comes from your own body, the result often feels smoother and more natural.

Common areas treated include:

Cheeks
Under-eye hollowing
Jawline and chin contouring
Lips
Temple volume
Hands
Breasts (small volume enhancement)
Hips and buttocks (subtle shaping)

This treatment is well suited for patients who want long lasting results. Once the transferred fat establishes a blood supply, it can remain in place as permanent tissue.

HOW FAT INJECTIONS WORK

The procedure begins with gentle fat harvesting from a donor area. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. This is done using precise, minimally invasive liposuction. The collected fat is then purified to separate healthy, intact fat cells. Once prepared, the fat is carefully injected into the target area in small layers to ensure smoothness and even distribution.

Our specialist at Cornerstone Clinic prioritise accuracy and symmetry. Each injection is placed with care to achieve a natural contour that blends with your existing features rather than overpowering them.

BENEFITS OF FAT INJECTIONS

Fat transfer offers several advantages beyond volume enhancement.

Natural solution using your own tissue
Lower risk of allergic reactions
Improvement in skin quality over time due to growth factors within the fat
Minimal scarring since only small entry points are used
Long lasting results
Dual benefit of contouring the donor area

Patients often appreciate that it is a completely personalised treatment. The volume added depends on the amount of fat harvested and your own desired outcome. Because there is no artificial substance, the enhancement feels genuine to your body.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE APPOINTMENT

Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our cosmetic specialists. During this session, we study your facial or body proportions and discuss your aesthetic goals. The plan is always tailored. Every patient has different needs, and our aim is to create harmony, not exaggeration.

On the day of the treatment, a local anaesthetic or light sedation is used depending on the area. Most sessions take between one to two hours. You may feel mild tightness or swelling afterwards. This is normal and improves gradually.

Because the body absorbs a portion of the injected fat within the first few weeks, slightly more volume may be added during the session to reach the final desired look once the tissue settles.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Recovery is usually smooth. Patients can return to routine activities after a few days, although swelling can last for one to two weeks depending on the area treated. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help protect the newly injected fat and support long term results.

Strenuous exercise should be avoided during the early recovery phase. Sleeping positions may also need adjustment to avoid pressure on treated areas. Our team remains available throughout your healing to answer questions or provide follow-up assessments.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE

Fat injections may be suitable if you:

Prefer a natural approach with your own fat
Want to address facial ageing or enhance contours
Have areas with enough donor fat
Are looking for results that last longer than fillers
Want a subtle, refined outcome rather than an artificial appearance

During your consultation, your specialist will evaluate your anatomy and discuss whether fat transfer is the right option for you. Cornerstone Clinic always prioritises honest guidance, so you receive recommendations based solely on what is suitable and safe.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After having abdominoplasty, muscle repair, 360 lipo and facial lipo with Dr. Maurizio the results were life changing. He is a true expert who genuinely cares about his patients and provides exceptional after care, all of his clinicians are very experienced and supportive. These procedures are significant and it’s crucial to go to the best experts with strong reputations. Within 4 weeks I was travelling and back to normal, and the procedure was done without drains. I would highly recommend Dr.Maurizio!
