Dr. Bouraoui Kotti is a world renowned expert in the industry, and counts on the different usages of fat cells for his most popular treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Fat grafting has changed my practice, whether it\u2019s adding fat into my breast implants for a better cleavage, or to facelifts for a much more natural and youthful aspect.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He elaborates that it\u2019s crucial to understand and respect the different factors that are important in order to achieve the \u2018real life photoshop effect\u2019 that he is crediting to the technique. \u2018The amount, the quality, the way you treat the fat after liposuction, the place you choose to put it, as well as the cannulas and syringes you choose for that purpose must be perfectly mastered to avoid disasters\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Like Salt In Cuisine\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The body artist goes as far as comparing the \u2018special ingredient\u2019 to salt in cuisine: \u2018too much and it becomes inedible, not enough and your recipe won\u2019t be highlighted to its true potential &#8211; fat is becoming an adding value treatment to the majority of plastic surgery procedures but it has to be treated differently each time depending on whether you use it in the face, breast or buttocks.., it remains an amazing weapon to restore volumes, redefine curves and fight the signs of age\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/52000\/image1-11\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-52002\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-52002 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-143x215.jpg 143w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2024\/05\/image1-1-e1715871778651.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He emphasizes that the transfer of fat cells also brings stem cells into the tissues which helps regenerate skin and deep structures, making it a component for a much fresher look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Fat is Fabulous\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The internationally awarded, former first ambassador of Tunisia within the international society of aesthetic and plastic surgery &amp; author of the Breast Key Book \u00ab the hidden stories of the breast \u00bb, recently moved to the UAE, where the industry is strongly represented with many state of art medical centers and innovating experts.

While medical qualification and expertise should always be priority, it does help to see a little more of the human behind the accolades when making life changing decisions such as finding the right surgeon before a treatment. Information takes fear &#8211; just like it takes the negative association that so many of us have with fat.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Fat is fabulous\u2019 as Dr. Kotti said &#8211; \u2018don\u2019t make it your enemy\u2019.
