Dr. Robert Whitfield says fat transfer success depends on picking the right patients, not just technical skill. New research on inflammation and individual biology has changed how he selects candidates and performs the procedure.

Part 2 is going to challenge, I think, a lot of things that we have as notions about fat transfer. The most important things, obviously, are not whether or not we can technically do it. It's more about identifying opportunities for the patients to get in a better position you know, Priya, um, we're trying to have a clinical conversation about, you know, success with fat transfer because I think, you know, that should be a much, um, more discussed alternative, uh, for enhancement. We've published literature on safety of fat transfers and we have the largest PCR-tested explant capsule study ever published. And what we've learned about inflammation and toxicity burden and gut health and just the patient's, you know, individual biology over time has really changed how we approach our procedures, including fat transfers. Last night was part 1, why most fat transfers fail before they ever get started. Part 2, um, is going to challenge, I think, a lot of things that we have as, as notions about fat transfer.
