Preoperative Preparation

You may visit your surgeon as many times as you wish, to have all of your questions answered. At your final preoperative visit, your final questions will be answered and you will confirm that you understood the procedure to be performed, that this material has been explained to you, that you have read and understood these information sheets, and that you accept the risks by signing the informed consent forms.

The operation will be performed at an outpatient facility under a very light general anesthetic or a deep sedative to insure your comfort.

A very short stab wound, typically within the navel, is used for harvesting the fat. Tiny stab wounds are also made where the fat is to be injected, usually not much bigger than needle pricks that heal without visible scarring.
