Fat Transfer Treatment – Microfat & Nanofat
Regeneration through your own cells – natural, effective, and long-lasting
What is a Fat Transfer Treatment?
Fat transfer treatment – also known as autologous fat transfer – uses the body’s own tissue to improve skin and facial appearance in an aesthetic and regenerative way. Fat is gently harvested from discreet donor sites, processed, and re-injected into the desired areas.
Because only autologous tissue is used, the method is biocompatible, well tolerated, and free from foreign substances – resulting in natural outcomes. In our clinic, we combine this approach with innovative techniques to achieve visible results and lasting regeneration.
Fat Transfer Treatment – Microfat and Nanofat Compared
Modern fat transfer treatments distinguish between two variants:
Microfat: Contains intact fat cells and is primarily used for volume restoration, e.g. hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, or temples.
Nanofat: A fine, cell-rich suspension without intact fat cells. It is not used for volume, but for skin regeneration and rejuvenation.
By combining Microfat and Nanofat, we can restore facial contours while improving skin quality – a unique synergy of volume and biological regeneration.
Benefits of Fat Transfer Treatment
Natural: Results appear harmonious without an artificial look.
Well tolerated: No allergies or rejection reactions, as only autologous tissue is used.
Regenerative: The injected tissue contains valuable cells and growth factors that can strengthen the skin.
Long-lasting: Depending on skin condition, results may last for several years.
Procedure & Safety of Fat Transfer Treatment
Harvesting: Gentle removal of fat tissue, usually from the abdomen or thighs.
Processing: Preparation into Microfat or Nanofat – depending on the treatment goal.
Injection: Precise application into the desired facial or body areas.
Because autologous material is used, the treatment is low-risk and highly compatible. The effects develop gradually over several weeks and lead to sustainable skin improvement.
Applications of Fat Transfer Treatment
Microfat (Volume Restoration):
Hollow cheeks or temples
Natural lip enhancement
Restoration of facial volume due to age-related tissue loss
Contouring of chin and jawline
Volume restoration of the hands
Smaller body areas with volume deficit
Nanofat (Skin Regeneration):
Dark or hollow under-eye circles
Fine lines (eyes, lips, cheeks)
Skin rejuvenation of face, neck, décolleté, and hands
Sun-damaged, dull, or tired skin
Acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks
Supportive treatment in holistic slow-aging approaches
Your Benefits with Our Patent-Pending Nanofat Method
A unique feature of our clinic is our patent-pending Nanofat method. It is based on a gentle, standardized mechanical process – without enzymes or additives – combined with a precise injection technique.
The aim is to activate the skin’s own repair mechanisms in a targeted way, achieving subtle and long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
This means: visible improvement, natural results, and regeneration instead of overcorrection.
Clinical Research
 |
From clinical experience to scientific evaluation The patent-pending multilayer nanofat technique developed by Dr. Dragieva is being scientifically evaluated. The retrospective clinical case series on the technique was published in 2026 in the international peer-reviewed journal Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. In parallel, the treatment concept is currently being scientifically evaluated in a prospective, randomized clinical study. The study has received approval from the responsible Ethics Committee and is published in the official Swiss study registry. |
