About The Treatment

Our fat transfer treatments are a natural, long-term solution to restoring lost volume, wrinkle removal, and the recontouring of facial or body shape with your own body fat. Minimally invasive, the treatment entails the safe removal of fat from donor sites like the belly or thighs, cleansing the fat, and carefully injecting the fat into recipient sites like cheeks, lips, eye fold areas, or hands. The best choice for individuals who dislike implants or chemical fillers, fat transfer rejuvenates soft, youthful contours with a minimal downtime. Each treatment is uniquely tailored for your face and your wish, and it is a safe and effective appearance and confidence booster.

How it Works

Your fat transfer journey begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, our specialists will assess your goals, identify suitable donor areas (such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks), and determine the best treatment plan. We’ll also review your medical history and skin condition to ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

The first step of the procedure involves gently removing fat from selected donor areas using a specialized liposuction technique. This process is minimally invasive and designed to preserve the integrity of the fat cells, ensuring they are healthy and viable for transfer.

Once harvested, the fat is purified using a careful filtration process to separate healthy fat cells from impurities and excess fluids. This ensures only the highest-quality fat is used for transfer, which helps improve the success and longevity of the results.

The final step is the strategic reinjection of the purified fat into targeted areas such as the cheeks, under-eyes, lips, hands, or buttocks. Using fine cannulas, our experts layer the fat gradually to sculpt natural-looking volume and contours. The results are immediate and continue to improve as the transferred fat settles and integrates with your tissue.

Before your fat transfer procedure, you’ll have a detailed consultation with your provider to discuss your desired results and review your health history. This is the perfect time to mention any medications, vitamins, supplements, or herbal remedies you’re currently taking so your provider can help ensure a safe and smooth experience.
In some cases, you may be advised to temporarily stop certain medications — such as blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatory drugs — about a week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. Your provider may also recommend basic lab work or other routine tests to confirm you’re ready for treatment.
Fat transfer is usually performed in an outpatient setting using local anesthesia with sedation or, in some cases, general anesthesia. This means you’ll be able to return home the same day. For your safety and comfort, arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive you home and stay with you for the first evening as you begin your recovery.

Mild & Short-Term Effects of Fat Transfer Treatment

Fat transfer procedures — also called fat grafting or fat injections — are generally safe when performed by an experienced provider. Still, like any medical procedure, they carry potential risks and side effects that should be considered:
  • Swelling and Bruising – Temporary swelling, bruising, or redness in both the donor area (where fat is removed) and the recipient area (where fat is injected) is common and usually resolves within a few weeks.
  • Tenderness or Discomfort – Mild soreness, tightness, or sensitivity at the treatment sites may occur and typically improves as the healing process progresses.
  • Asymmetry or Irregular Contours – In some cases, uneven fat distribution, lumps, or contour irregularities may appear, which can sometimes require touch-up procedures.
  • Changes in Sensation – Temporary numbness, tingling, or altered sensation in treated areas may occur and often improves with time.
  • Fat Absorption – A portion of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time, which can reduce the final volume and may require additional sessions.
  • Infection – Although rare, infection can develop at either the donor or recipient site and may require medical treatment.
  • Allergic Reaction – An allergic reaction to anesthetic or other materials used during the procedure is rare but possible.

I had lipo360 and Aveli cellulite removal and Dr. Nima and his staff were amazing! The communication was impeccable as well. Anytime I sent an email or text I received a response back within an hour or less even on the weekend. Dr. Nina called me after my surgery to check in both days and made me feel very comfortable during the entire process. He’s very honest and has a keen eye for detail always keeping the final outcome in mind. I highly recommend his office!

This is a review for Melt office of Dr. Nima and his staff. I contacted Dr. Nima office to schedule Lipo 360, neck and arms lipo with Morpheus 8. The office staff and Dr. Nima are very responsive and professional. From my first appointment, I have received an amazing care and postoperative care. Dr Nima gave me his cell number and he responded to every question or concern I had. I would definitely recommend his office for any procedure. He is very professional and approachable.

I went to Dr. Nima for Lipo 360 and all I can say is wow! My major concern was my upper back and bra roll and boy did Dr. Nima deliver the results. I no longer have my bra rolls and he was able to give me the hourglass figure of my dreams. I am seven weeks postop and couldn't be happier. His office staff is friendly and professional and made the whole experience so easy. Thank you, Dr. Nima and staff. I will definitely refer any new client to your office. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of having some procedures performed by Dr Nima yesterday. And let me tell you, I am so blown away already with my results. First, Dr Nima is the kind of physician that we all hope to have. He’s very attentive and really listens to your wants and needs. His bedside manner is great as well. He did an outstanding job transforming my request into reality. I am so excited to see the final outcome. He performed lipo, bodytite, and Aveli on me. He checked in with me continuously through the process to ensure I was comfortable and had the least amount of pain. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering these. And not to forget his staff they’re all so kind and welcoming.

5/5

I had Lipo360 and Renuvion performed by Dr. Nima about 6 weeks ago. I was really nervous going into the procedure as I knew I would be awake, but Dr. Nima and his team made me feel so comfortable and eased all my worries. He made sure to tell me what he was doing and what to expect during the entire procedure. My results (even just a few days after the procedure!) have been nothing short of amazing - and they continue to get better and better each week! Service after the procedure has been exceptional with Dr. Nima checking in several times the first week to make sure everything was OK and to see if I had any questions and he's continued to check in as I continue to heal. Overall, an amazing experience A++++ I can't wait to see my final results when totally healed - there is a huge improvement already and I'm going into the first summer I won't be self-conscious wearing a swimsuit. Thank you so much, Dr. Nima!

I’m so grateful for Dr Nima and his amazing staff. They all were fantastic, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. I’m so thankful to have found them. Ceylan, Cherrin, and Dr Nima are absolutely the best lipo providers in the valley. I would highly recommend them to everyone. I felt comfortable and well cared for. They were patient and Cherrin even held my hand when I was nervous during the procedure. Dr Nima took extra time to make sure all my problem areas were addressed. He is very knowledgeable and has invested in the best technological advances for skin tightening and liposuction . He even had his rep there Mike to answer any of my questions. I’m so grateful that he was able to fix my breast after my implant removal and regrettable implant experience. I’m so thankful that Dr Nima could lift them and provide a fat transfer for needed volume also. They were also affordable and professional. I can’t wait to see my final results after healing. I’m so grateful for the help and the great job Dr Nima and his team did.

Before your MyEllevate treatment, you’ll meet with your provider to discuss your goals and review your medical history. This is a good time to share details about any medications, supplements, or herbal products you take so your provider can ensure you’re fully prepared for a smooth experience.
In some cases, you may be advised to pause certain medications, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, for about a week beforehand to help minimize temporary swelling or bruising. If needed, your provider may also recommend simple, routine tests to confirm you’re ready for treatment.
MyEllevate is typically performed in a comfortable outpatient setting under local anesthesia, meaning you can return home the same day. For your comfort and convenience, arrange for someone to drive you home afterward and be available to assist you that first evening.
