Dr. Amir Ghaznavi, a skilled plastic surgeon serving Northern Virginia, including Fairfax and Ashburn, offers personalized care to ensure you achieve your aesthetic goals with confidence and satisfaction.
Understanding Fat Transfer Augmentation
Fat transfer augmentation involves harvesting fat from one area of your body and transferring it to another area to enhance volume and shape. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those seeking a natural alternative to implants for breast and buttock augmentation. By using your own body fat, the results are not only more natural-looking but also have a lower risk of complications.
The Benefits of Fat Transfer Augmentation in Gender Affirmation
Natural Results
Using your own body fat provides a more natural look and feel compared to synthetic implants.
Dual Benefits
The procedure offers the advantage of contouring the donor site (such as the abdomen or thighs) while enhancing the target area (breasts or buttocks).
Reduced Risk
Since the procedure uses your own tissue, there is a lower risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, the results of fat transfer augmentation can be long-lasting, providing you with a naturally enhanced appearance for years to come.
Fat Transfer for MTF Breast Augmentation
Natural Breast Enhancement
Fat transfer for breast augmentation involves harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and injecting it into the breasts to enhance their size and shape. This method is ideal for those looking for a subtle, natural enhancement without the use of implants.
Procedure Details
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Ghaznavi will make small incisions to extract fat through liposuction, purify the fat, and then carefully inject it into the breasts to achieve the desired volume and contour.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
Fat Transfer for Transgender Buttock Augmentation

Fat transfer for buttock augmentation, commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), involves harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and injecting it into the buttocks to create a fuller, more shapely appearance.
Procedure Details
Similar to breast augmentation, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Ghaznavi will extract, purify, and inject the fat into the buttocks, sculpting them to achieve a rounder and more youthful shape.
