Get to Know You Consult
Complimentary. Bring the change you hope to see. We listen, explain how fat transfer works here, and share the broad range that applies to everyone considering this procedure. No exam. No individualized quote. No obligation.
Fat transfer
Volume that still feels like you.
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about waking up in a body that matches how alive you already feel — in clothes, in a photo, when you reach for someone. Fat transfer at Idaho Regenerative Medicine uses your own fat to restore shape where volume has changed. Contour where you have extra. Volume where you want it. Your own contour. Honest limits. Real confidence.
The IRM lens
Fat is living tissue — and that is the advantage.
When people say they want to look like themselves again, they are often talking about volume that left after nursing, weight change, or years of a body redistributing fat in ways they did not choose. Fat transfer moves your own tissue instead of placing a device or a manufactured gel. Patients also love the other half of the work: the area the fat comes from is refined at the same time. Contour where you have extra. Volume where you want it. One procedure. Two changes.
We use Cellmyx AcquiCell with Lipo-Loop — a closed system designed to keep harvested fat viable. Research on this platform reports about 90% cell viability. That is why we chose it. Swelling still settles after week one. Protect the graft, and you give that viable fat the best chance to live in you.
Your path
A conversation first. A plan when you are ready.
Complimentary consult for fit and a broad range. Then a New Patient Visit so the plan and quote are built around your body.
New Patient Visit — 60 minutes
The pre-procedure visit. $450, applied to the procedure if you move forward. We examine and image the donor fat, assess the placement area, review your health, and build your individualized plan and quote. That number is yours — not the broad range from the first conversation.
Procedure day
Harvest, prepare with Cellmyx AcquiCell and Lipo-Loop, place, garments, written aftercare. Same-day home. Contour where you had extra. Volume where you wanted it.
Recovery and follow-up
Protect the graft. We stay with you through settling — early check, then again when the living fat has declared what stays. A second session is a further step if you want more of a good thing.
Choose your focus
Breast, glute, face, or hands.
Start with the area that would let you feel amazing in your body again. Each uses your own fat. The amount, the preparation, and the recovery are not the same.
Breast Augmentation
Get your volume back — without putting a device in your body. Your own fat can restore softness and shape after pregnancy, weight change, or years of feeling deflated in clothes that otherwise still fit. It will feel like you when you move. The harvest site is refined at the same time — contour plus volume, not an implant and a separate liposuction. What it can do is bring back a chest that looks and feels like yours.
Glute Augmentation
Curve that belongs to your frame — not a filter, not a packaged BBL. Fat taken from the waist, flanks, or thighs can add shape where you want it and refine where you don’t — two changes in one procedure. The result should look like you on your best day. We design the change for your frame so it looks like you on your best day.
Facial Biofiller
Look rested. Not done. Cheeks, temples, and the area around the mouth lose padding long before you feel old. Your own fat, prepared finely for the face, can soften those hollows so people say you look well — not “who did your filler?” What stays is yours.
Hand Rejuvenation
Stop hiding your hands. When the padding thins, veins and tendons tell a different age than your face. A small amount of your own fat can restore that cushion so your hands match the vitality you still feel — at dinner, on the steering wheel, when you reach for someone. Small area. Real difference. Still your tissue.
Fat transfer vs surgery
Your own tissue. A different kind of result.
Most people are weighing three paths: do nothing, have traditional plastic surgery, or use their own fat. Fat transfer is for people who want to feel like themselves — with more of what they miss.
What is different from breast implant surgery?
Implants add a manufactured device and a set size. Fat transfer adds your own tissue and a softer, natural change — no implant to maintain or replace later. If you want a large, immediate size change, implants do that job. Fat transfer is for people who want their own tissue and a result that still feels like them.
What is different from a hospital or surgery-center BBL?
Large-volume gluteal surgery in an operating room is a different operation — different anesthesia, different volumes, different risk. Here the conversation is contour with your own fat, done thoughtfully, so the shape belongs to you.
What is different from filler in a syringe?
Gel filler is a manufactured product. It can be dissolved. Fat transfer uses your own tissue. On the face, that fat is prepared more finely so it can be placed in small areas. What lives is yours.
Is there downtime?
Yes — and it is worth planning for. Donor sites often feel like a deep bruise. The area that received fat needs protection so the graft can take a blood supply. Swelling hides the true result for weeks, not days. Then you start living in it.
Before you book
Walk in already sure this is for you.
Size, what stays, scars, and the two-for-one harvest — so you can book the consult excited, not guessing.
How much change is realistic?
For the breast, one session is typically a beautiful, modest step — about half to one cup — the kind of change that fills a dress instead of announcing a procedure. The glute and face follow the same rule: what your donor fat and tissue can support. People who want to look like themselves — only more at home in their body — are exactly who this is for.
How much of the fat stays?
The AcquiCell Lipo-Loop system used here is studied for high graft viability — about 90% in the research on this platform. That is better than older, open handling of fat. Swelling still leaves after week one. A second session can add even more if you want a further step.
Scars, feel, and later weight
Access points are small — not a fold scar from an implant pocket. Surviving fat should feel like you. It will also follow your weight: that is your tissue, not a device with a fixed size.
Your plan and the consult
The complimentary consult can include the broad range everyone hears. Your individualized quote comes after the 60-minute New Patient Visit ($450, applied to the procedure if you move forward) — exam, imaging of the fat, placement area, and health. Breast is not the same plan as face or hands.
What to expect
What the days actually feel like.
Consult and candidacy
Bring the change you hope to see — a photo, a dress that used to fit, the place on your body that no longer matches how you feel. The complimentary consult is where we map the change you want and share the broad range. The New Patient Visit is where we examine, image, and give your individualized quote.
Harvest and placement
Fat is taken from an area that has extra — often the abdomen, flanks, or thighs — prepared, and placed where you want volume. That harvest is not wasted work. It is the contouring half of the procedure: a little less there, a little more here. Comfort measures are part of the plan.
Healing and graft take
Expect soreness at the harvest site like a deep bruise, tightness where fat was placed, swelling, and bruising. Compression belongs on donor areas. Pressure does not belong on the graft — no sleeping on the breasts, no sitting hard on a fresh glute graft, no gripping if the hands were treated. Walking is usually encouraged. Impact exercise and heavy lifting wait. The fat is trying to grow a blood supply. Protect it.
Settling and staging
Week one looks bigger than the result you keep. Friends may think it is done. It is swelling. Over the following weeks fluid leaves and the living fat remains. The result you live in shows after settling. A second session is a powerful option when you want more of a good thing.
Questions patients actually ask
Experience, limits, and what the days after feel like.
Does it hurt?
Harvest sites usually feel more tender than the area receiving fat. Most people describe soreness, tightness, and bruising. Comfort measures are discussed before the procedure.
How long until I can work, walk, or exercise?
Many people return to desk work within a few days if they can protect the grafted area. Walking is usually encouraged early. Impact exercise, heavy lifting, and pressure on the graft wait longer.
What will I look like at one week vs three months?
Week one is swelling. Friends may think it is done. It is not. The result you keep is closer to what you see after settling — and that is the one that still feels like you.
What if I do not have much extra fat?
Then we plan around what you have — a smaller, beautiful change, a different harvest site, or a staged approach. The consult is where we find the version that still makes you feel amazing.
Can I still get mammograms after breast fat transfer?
Yes. Fat grafting does not replace screening. Tell the imaging team you have had fat transfer. Oil cysts or small calcifications can appear and are why that history matters.
I do not want implants, but I miss the volume I used to have.
That is exactly who this procedure is for. Next is mapping donor fat and the modest, natural change that matches the mirror you want.
How much bigger can I get in one session?
Think a beautiful, modest step. For the breast, many people are in the half-to-one-cup range per session — the kind of change that looks like you, not like an implant. Face and hands use smaller volumes on purpose. The glute is shaped from the fat you actually have.
How much of the transferred fat stays?
With the AcquiCell Lipo-Loop system we use, research reports about 90% cell viability — more of the graft is alive when it is placed. Week-one size is still swelling. What lives is living fat and will follow your weight.
Will I have scars?
Small access points at the harvest sites and where fat is placed. Not a breast-fold implant scar. They usually fade. Donor areas can feel more bruised than the area that received fat.
What if I gain or lose weight later?
Surviving fat is yours. Significant weight loss can shrink the result. Significant gain can enlarge it. Stable weight helps you keep the contour you came for.
How much does it cost?
The complimentary Get to Know You Consult can include a broad range that applies to everyone considering fat transfer. Your individualized quote is built at the 60-minute New Patient Visit ($450, applied to the procedure if you move forward) after exam and imaging of the fat and the placement area.
Do I get contouring where the fat comes from?
Yes — that is the other half patients ask about. The harvest is liposuction with a purpose. Abdomen, flanks, or thighs can look more refined while the breast, glute, face, or hands gain volume. Two-for-one when you have extra fat to spare.
The IRM difference
Fat transfer still follows the regenerative framework.
Listen & Map
Goals, donor sites, history, imaging when it matters, and what natural means to you.
Restore the Terrain
Nicotine, nutrition, metabolic stability, and recovery capacity influence whether fat can take.
Regenerate Tissue
Harvest and placement for living fat — more volume for breast and glute, finer placement for the face and hands.
Optimize Longevity
Weight stability and tissue health help the result age with you.
Why IRM
This is your tissue. That is the point.
IRM will tell you what this procedure can do for your body — and then do that work with care. Living fat is not a device with a stamped size. What we aim for is volume that feels like you, kept with a system built for high viability.
