Fat Grafting in Toronto (Fat Transfer)
Sculpt, Restore & Enhance — Using Your Own Natural Volume
Loss of volume is one of the most visible signs of aging — whether it appears in the face, hands, breasts, or body. Fat grafting (also known as fat transfer) is a minimally invasive technique that uses your own fat to restore fullness, soften contours, and enhance symmetry with subtle, long-lasting results.
At Toronto Dermaplastic Surgery, Dr. Reza Ahmadzadeh uses advanced fat grafting techniques to naturally refine and rejuvenate your features — creating results that are smooth, balanced, and uniquely you.
