Cosmetic Body Procedures
Body procedures at Dr Ken Brito Cosmetic Clinic focus on proportion, contour, and tissue quality where clinically appropriate. Each treatment is planned with careful consideration of individual anatomy, safety, and informed decision-making.
Surgical Body Procedures
A considered approach to body contouring and volume restoration
Cosmetic Body procedures may be considered for individuals who experience changes in contour or volume related to ageing, weight fluctuation, or other personal factors. At Dr Ken Brito Cosmetic Clinic, these procedures are approached in a measured and medical manner, with suitability assessed on an individual basis.
Treatment planning focuses on balance and proportion rather than standardised outcomes. Not all procedures are suitable for every individual, and alternatives may be discussed during consultation where appropriate.
Restoring volume and contour
Some body procedures may involve the use of a patient’s own tissue to provide volume or contour support where clinically appropriate.
One example is fat transfer (also known as fat grafting or lipofilling). This procedure involves harvesting fat from one area of the body using liposuction, processing the fat, and reintroducing it into another area where additional volume or contour support may be indicated.
Fat transfer is not suitable for everyone. Whether this procedure is appropriate depends on an individual’s anatomy, treatment goals, available donor fat, and medical history. During your consultation, Dr Ken Brito will assess your circumstances, discuss the potential benefits, limitations, alternatives, and risks, and determine whether fat transfer may be a suitable treatment option for you.
What to expect
Body procedures vary in complexity, recovery time, and aftercare requirements. These factors depend on the type of procedure and individual circumstances.
During consultation, patients are provided with clear information about:
- The nature of the procedure
- Expected recovery and downtime
- Potential risks and limitations
- Post procedure care and follow up
Fat transfer may not be suitable for individuals with insufficient donor tissue, certain medical conditions, or where surgical risk is considered elevated.

Liposuction
A surgical procedure designed to used to address localised fat deposits and support body contouring where non-surgical measures are insufficient.
Treatment overview
Liposuction is a surgical technique used to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. It is not a weight loss procedure but may be considered to address localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The surgical approach is planned based on anatomy, fat distribution, and overall suitability.
Who it may be suitable for
Liposuction may be considered for individuals with stable weight who have localised areas of fat that do not respond to lifestyle measures. Suitability depends on skin quality, overall health, and realistic expectations, which are assessed during consultation.
Risks and considerations
All surgery carries risk. Specific considerations with liposuction include swelling, bruising, contour irregularities, changes in sensation, fluid collections, and general surgical and anaesthetic risks. Liposuction does not prevent future weight changes and is not a substitute for weight management.
Recovery and downtime
Recovery depends on the areas treated and the extent of the procedure. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are common. Compression garments are typically recommended, and a gradual return to normal activities is advised as healing progresses.
A consultation allows discussion of whether liposuction may be appropriate, including risks, recovery expectations, and alternative options.

Fat Transfer
A surgical technique that uses a patient’s own fat to support volume restoration and contour refinement where clinically appropriate.
Treatment overview
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, involves carefully harvesting fat from one area of the body and reintroducing it into another area where additional volume or contour support may be required. The technique may be considered in selected cases for areas such as the face, breasts, or hands, with planning based on individual anatomy and tissue quality.
Who it may be suitable for
Fat transfer may be considered for individuals seeking volume restoration using their own tissue. Suitability depends on factors such as available donor fat, overall health, and realistic expectations regarding volume retention, which are assessed during consultation.
Risks and considerations
As with all surgical procedures, fat transfer carries risks. Considerations include swelling, bruising, infection, variable fat retention, and the possibility that additional procedures may be required. Outcomes vary between individuals and are discussed in detail during consultation.
Recovery and downtime
Recovery varies depending on the extent of fat harvesting and transfer. Swelling and bruising may occur at both donor and recipient sites and typically settle over one to two weeks. A gradual return to normal activities is advised as healing progresses.
A consultation allows assessment of suitability and discussion of whether fat transfer may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
