Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) Course (Dec 08, 2025)

Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) Course is organized by Empire Medical Training and will be held on Dec 08, 2025 at Brooklyn, New York, United States of America.

Description:
Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is a great income generator for your practice and is the ideal filler for patients and physicians. Given the choice, most patients will prefer their own tissues as compared to synthetic filler products and are intrigued by the concept of taking fat from one part of the body and putting it in another. Autologous fat costs nothing for the raw materials and has a minimal cost to harvest and prepare for reinjection. The patient receives more filler while the physician obtains a higher professional fee and profit from this procedure as compared to commercial 'dermal filler" products. When larger amounts of fillers are needed, fat transfer/grafting is more economical for the patient and allows for a win-win situation for the patient and physician.

Fat Transfer/Grafting allows a physician to diminish or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, creases, furrows, smile lines, and other depressions of the face and body naturally at little or no cost of dermal filler to the physician. Imagine, being able to charge $1,250 - $ SOO per treatment for this procedure and offer your patients a more permanent, safe, and more natural-looking result by using the fat from one area and transplanting that fat to either large areas of lipoatrophy or the smallest of wrinkles and creases.
