fat injection

    0.01 sec.
fat injection,
transplantation of a patient's own fat to other areas on the body, as to the face to minimize wrinkles or to the lips or penis to augment size. The procedure is discouraged in breast augmentation, because it can hamper the detection of early breast cancer, causing false-positive test results.
