Nano Fat & Micro Fat Transfer in Bend, Oregon
Why Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer is a powerful regenerative treatment that uses your own fat tissue — harvested gently from donor areas (such as abdomen, flanks or thighs) — to restore volume, improve skin quality, and rejuvenate features. Because the graft uses your own tissue, there is minimal risk of rejection or reaction, and results tend to look and feel natural.
At Dr. B. MedSpa, we offer two specialized techniques: Micro Fat Transfer for volume and contouring, and Nano Fat Transfer for skin regeneration.
What Is Micro Fat Transfer?
Micro fat transfer (also called micro-fat grafting) involves processing harvested fat into small, evenly sized fat particles that can be used to restore lost volume and contour. This is ideal for areas where fullness, lift, or structural support is desired.
Common treatment areas:
- Cheeks, mid-face, temples
- Jawline and chin
- Hands (to restore lost volume, soften prominent veins/tendons)
- Areas of volume loss due to aging, weight loss, or other causes
Benefits:
- Soft, natural-looking fullness and contour
- Long-lasting — after healing, a portion of the transferred fat typically integrates permanently
- Uses your own tissue (low risk of allergic reaction)
Micro fat transfer is an excellent option if you want to counteract facial hollowing, loss of youthful fullness, or age-related volume loss — giving results that age naturally with you.
What Is Nano Fat Transfer?
Nano fat transfer takes fat a step further — the harvested fat is ultra-refined (filtered/processed) to produce a liquid-like, regenerative graft, rich in growth factors and regenerative cells. Rather than adding volume, nano fat is used to improve skin quality, texture, tone, and stimulate rejuvenation at a cellular level.
Common treatment areas / goals:
- Under-eye hollows, fine lines, crepey skin
- Skin thinning, fine wrinkles, texture issues
- Acne scars or irregularities
- Overall skin rejuvenation and improved radiance
Nano fat acts more like a natural “skin booster,” enhancing skin health over time rather than simply filling.
Micro vs. Nano: What’s the Difference?
Micro Fat Transfer
- Purpose: Restore volume, contouring
- Fat Particle Size: Small, structural
- Best For: Cheeks, temples, jawline, hands
- Longevity: Long-lasting (many years)
- Downtime: Mild swelling/bruising
Nano Fat Transfer
- Purpose: Skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation
- Fat Particle Size: Ultra-filtered, liquid-like
- Best For: Under-eye, fine lines, wrinkles, scars
- Longevity: Improves skin quality gradually
- Downtime: Minimal downtime
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- Harvest: A small amount of fat is taken from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using gentle liposuction.
- Purification: The fat is processed through a sterile, closed system to create micro fat and/or nano fat.
- Injection:
- Micro fat is placed deeply for structural support.
- Nano fat is placed superficially to rejuvenate the skin.
Recovery: Mild swelling or bruising can occur. Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Results:
- Micro fat: Immediate improvement with volume that becomes more natural as the fat integrates. A portion of the grafted fat will survive permanently.
- Nano fat: Skin gradually becomes smoother, healthier, and more radiant over several weeks.
Results continue to improve for 3–6 months due to collagen stimulation.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate if you want:
- A natural alternative to fillers
- Long-lasting facial rejuvenation
- Smoother under-eye texture
- A healthier skin appearance
- Subtle but noticeable enhancement
Patients with thin, crepey skin or volume loss often benefit the most.

The areas are numbed thoroughly. Most patients describe only mild discomfort.
About 24–48 hours of swelling. Some bruising may last up to one week.
Yes. Because it uses your own fat, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. As always, the procedure should be done by a trained medical professional.
Absolutely. Nano fat is one of the best regenerative approaches for crepe skin, hollowness, and texture issues under the eyes.
- Micro fat: Immediately, with continued improvement over 1–3 months.
- Nano fat: Gradual improvement in texture and tone over 4–12 weeks.
Yes—very commonly combined with:
- ADVATx laser
- Microneedling
