Fat transfer is a gender-affirming body contouring procedure to tone and define the figure to shape a more feminine appearance.
Liposuction is used to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs and this harvested fat is purified and strategically injected into areas such as the hips or buttocks. This procedure is a great option for those seeking to create an hourglass, traditionally feminine figure.
At CREO Gender, our senior body contouring surgeon, Dr. Omar Tillo, is highly experienced in performing fat transfer procedures as part of gender-affirming care. Using his advanced, pioneered techniques, Dr. Tillo can create natural-looking volume and shape to help bring your body into closer alignment with your gender identity.

6 WeeksHow Transfeminine & Gender-Affirming Fat Transfer Helps You Shape Your Identity
Transfeminine fat transfer offers a natural, personalised way to align your physical appearance with your gender identity by using your own body fat to soften specific features.
Fat transfer enables subtle yet powerful changes that reflect your true self.
Create Natural-Looking Curves Without Implants
Fat transfer can be used as a more natural alternative to breast augmentation with implants and is an ideal option for those seeking to add smaller amounts of volume to the breasts (up to one cup size).
In addition, fat can be transferred to the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift) to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks, and can be personalised to create a more feminine figure.
A Less Invasive Way to Support Your Transition Goals
Fat transfer is a less invasive approach to augmenting the figure than alternatives, such as implants, to craft a more feminine appearance. By using the body’s own fat, this procedure allows for subtle reshaping and volume enhancement without the need for more intensive treatment.
