Fat Transfer in Danville, CA
What Is A Fat Transfer?
Weight loss or aging can lead to a loss of volume and shape in certain areas of the body where fullness was once prominent. Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, is a cutting-edge solution to replenish this lost volume naturally. In this procedure, fat is harvested from one part of the body and precisely injected into areas desiring enhancement, be it larger regions like the buttocks or breasts or smaller sections like the lower eyelid, cheeks, or lips. Many prefer autologous fat transfers for a more natural augmentation, steering clear of implants or synthetic fillers. In Danville, CA, Dr. Vivek Bansal employs state-of-the-art liposuction and grafting techniques to precisely perform fat transfers. This body contouring service at Elite MD offers visually pleasing and natural-looking results, beautifully restoring the body's contours.
How Is A Fat Transfer Performed?
During this procedure, you will be placed under the appropriate kind of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia or numbing method will depend on how much fat is being extracted, including the area where it will be reinstated. A form of liposuction is performed via a special cannula to carefully remove the fat so it can be separated and purified inside a centrifuge (which preps the highest quality fat for syringes). After prepping the injection site, the fat will be added to the area of concern. The injection process is performed in layers until the desired outcome has been attained. For certain body parts, multiple injections will be necessary.
What Are the Benefits of A Fat Transfer?
Fat transfers offer several great benefits to enhance and refresh your appearance as an alternative to synthetic injectable dermal fillers. The benefits of a fat transfer in Danville, CA at Elite MD are:
- Faster healing time
- Augments targeted body areas (cheeks, lips, buttocks, and breasts)
- Very little scarring
- Brings out natural curves
- Diminishes unwanted fat in bothersome areas (thighs, abdomen, back, and more)
- Safer compared to implants since it uses the body's own fat tissue
- Not as invasive as other plastic surgeries
- Offers a more natural solution
- Results have a natural feel and look
- Replenishes lost volume for a more youthful appearance (hands and face)
- Redefines and contours the figure
Fat Transfer Reviews
I had vaser liposuction done to my back around a year ago and I was super happy with the results so I decided to come back for a second procedure! This time around, I had liposuction done to my abdomen and then a hip dip fat transfer. I'm only 2 weeks post op but the results look great. One of the reasons I came back is because the aftercare is amazing. They are constantly checking up on you and they give you everything you need to have a successful procedure. They tell you about the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy after a fat transfer and they offer lymphatic massages in house as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dr.Bansal and Dr.Desvigne to anyone considering a body procedure.
Highly Recommend Dr Bansal with Elite MD - I had a tummy tuck with lipo, hernia repair and fat transfer to hip dips and breasts. I heard about Elite MD by recommendation and, after researching, I booked a consultation appointment. I met the wonderful Trish at my consult and she went over all details including creating a surgical plan specific to my needs. She was very quick to respond to any questions that I later had, via phone or email, and when I decided to book the surgery she was very organized by immediately booking all preop and post op appointments. Trish was such a great introduction to my surgery journey and made me feel very comfortable. I met with Dr Bansal a couple times prior to my surgery and his passion of being a plastic surgeon was immediately evident. He takes great pride in his techniques and expresses a great need to keep his patients knowledgeable and up to date on all details of the procedure. Dr Bansal creates a great learning atmosphere by breaking procedure process with diagrams and plenty examples of his past work. He answered every question that I had and made it very clear that he treats all his patients like family. I really love the focus on the health of ethnic skin incorporated within all procedures at Elite MD. The collaboration of Dr Sonia's expertise in ethnic skincare with the surgical center creates such harmony that is greatly needed and appreciated. I met with PA Tony who has a fun, upbeat demeanor and he went over all preop and post op info. I really love his holistic approach when discussing recovery. He was helpful in answering all questions that I had. I met Marisol, surgery scheduler, who took measurements and did other processing for my surgery. Marisol was instrumental in making this a smooth process. The day of surgery was very organized before I went under anesthesia. I am 10 weeks post op and I absolutely love my results! I've done a few sessions of the lymphatic drainage massages with Roxana during my recovery and she is amazing! It has helped me tremendously and she is very knowledgeable. I really do feel like I got a piece of my life back and my husband and I are so grateful for Dr Bansal making me feel comfortable and safe.Thank you to Dr Bansal and staff! I have been thinking about this type of procedure for a couple years now and I am so happy I went with Elite MD! I will send updates soon.
Today is Christmas Day, and since I have some time off, I wanted to write a heartfelt thank you to the MD Elite team for helping me achieve the new body I have today. A new, beautiful, and healthier appearance. Before going to Dr. Bansal, I consulted with a few other places. And I'll tell you why I chose Dr. Bansal. When I walked into the consultation room, the consultant, Trish, didn't judge me based on my appearance (because I looked poor and unable to afford a major surgery – that's how I judged myself). Yet, she was kind and gentle, explaining everything to me without rushing me. That day, I was also lucky enough to meet Dr. Bansal in person, with his warm and gentle smile. After talking to him, I knew where I should have this surgery done. Although the price was a bit higher than other places, I had breast implants since 2018, and they were very large. Now I wanted to have them removed and replaced with autologous fat grafting. I could have chosen to replace them with other implants, but I didn't want to wear them anymore; I wanted a natural look. The second time I met the doctor, I clarified what he would do for me... I really regret not following one piece of advice: to take a little more fat from my abdomen to put into my buttocks... (Actually, at that time I only wanted to focus on my stomach and breasts, I hadn't thought about my buttocks yet). My surgery was on October 8th, 2025, and it's almost been 3 months now... I'm completely satisfied with the results. (Because I didn't have much time for recovery, I chose only abdominal liposuction. If you have more time, I recommend choosing liposuction and waist tightening)... That way, the results will be even more perfect. I advise you to follow the advice of Dr. Bansal. Once again, I want to thank Tony (who had a hard time with me because of the language barrier, as I'm Vietnamese and not fluent in English), Trish, Megan, and Sovana. I used AI to translate this post.
I had my fat transfer done at Elite MD with Dr. Vivek Bansal and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience.From the very beginning I felt heard. Dr. Bansal really took the time to understand what I wanted and what would look natural on my body. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt salesy. I felt safe and confident in my decision before I even stepped into surgery day.I also have to shout out the absolute dream team. Trish, Tony, Maricel, and Roxanna were all incredible. Every single one of them went above and beyond both before and after my procedure. They checked on me, answered every question, and made me feel genuinely cared for. I am two weeks post op and they are still following up and staying in touch. That alone says everything about the level of care here.I am already loving my results and I know I am still early in the healing process. The results truly reflect the conversations we had beforehand. I feel like Dr. Bansal listened and delivered exactly what we discussed.I will definitely come back and update with photos once I am further along in recovery. But I can confidently say Elite MD is highly recommended. Special shoutout again to everyone I mentioned. You all made this experience something I will always be grateful for.
I cannot recommend Dr. Bansal at Elite MD highly enough. I first consulted with him in February, and I was immediately struck by his patience. He spent hours with me, meticulously reviewing every option--from implants and lifts to a fat transfer. I never felt rushed; instead, I felt educated and empowered to make the right choice for my body.I ultimately chose the fat transfer, and while I am absolutely amazed at the physical results, it's the post-operative care that truly sets Dr. Bansal apart. Over the last 12 months, I've had numerous appointments, and I've never had a single issue with scheduling. Dr. Bansal consistently goes above and beyond, spending extra time during follow-ups to provide tailored aftercare advice and recommendations.His dedication made me feel genuinely cared for and valued as a patient, not just a number. I've already started referring my friends to him, and if I ever need future services, Elite MD is the only place I'll go.

Am I a Candidate for Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer may be a great choice for patients seeking to restore volume naturally using their own fat rather than synthetic fillers. It’s often recommended for those who want lasting results in areas such as the cheeks, breasts, or buttocks, combined with the body contouring benefits of liposuction. Patients who are significantly underweight, have poor skin elasticity, or health conditions affecting healing may not be eligible. Generally speaking, candidates for fat transfer are those who have:
- Localized areas of excess fat
- Volume loss in the face or body
- Good skin tone and elasticity
- Goals for long-lasting enhancement
- Interest in a natural filler alternative
Every treatment begins with a consultation to determine whether fat transfer is a safe, appropriate, and effective option for your goals.
Our Featured Work
How long do the results of a fat transfer last?
The results of a fat transfer are long-lasting, as the transferred fat integrates with your natural tissue. However, some fat may be reabsorbed by the body within the first few months. Dr. Bansal ensures precision in fat placement to maximize retention and achieve lasting results.
Will I have scars after a fat transfer procedure?
Fat transfer procedures involve small incisions for liposuction, which typically result in minimal scarring. The scars are usually placed in discreet locations and fade significantly over time. At Elite MD, we use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.
Is a fat transfer procedure safe?
Fat transfer is considered a safe option for enhancing volume because it uses your own fat, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. Our team in Danville, CA, uses advanced techniques and sterile protocols to ensure your safety throughout the process. We will also assess your health during your consultation to ensure this is a suitable option for you.
Take the Natural Approach
If you want to enhance your lips or smooth out facial wrinkles, a fat transfer could be your ideal choice.
