Why Fat
Not All Volume Replacement Is the Same.
Fat has traditionally been treated as tissue to remove. In regenerative aesthetics, adipose tissue can play a very different role.
Depending on how it is harvested, processed, and used, autologous fat can support structural volume restoration, contour correction, and regenerative skin-focused applications.
Traditional filler can be very effective, but it is only one option. The key is understanding which form of fat belongs where—and why.
01
Structural
restoration
Replacing lost volume and restoring contour with a deliberate plan for support, distribution, and whole-face balance.
02
Regenerative
applications
Using smaller processed fat fractions when the concern is tissue quality and rejuvenation rather than bulk volume.
Not simply a liposuction workshop.
A clinical decision-making intensive focused on the candidate, harvest, processing, application, and place of fat within a comprehensive facial treatment plan.
The two-day experience
Learn the Workflow.
Then Apply It.
Two distinct days create room for full workflow understanding before clinical application with live models.
saturday
Day 01
Learn. Harvest
Process. Plan.
Saturday focuses on the science, anatomy, patient selection, technique, and hands-on skill development needed before moving into live treatment.
Facial aging + fat compartments
Indications + contraindications
Donor-site evaluation + harvest planning
Tumescent concepts + cannula selection
Harvesting technique + fat handling
Processing methods + microfat/nanofat
Structural versus regenerative applications
Injection-plane concepts + volume strategy
Post-procedure management + complications
Documentation, consent, pricing + packaging
Saturday is where participants learn the full workflow before treating live models.
sunday
DAY 02
Assess. Harvest.
Process. Treat.
Sunday is the live-model clinical day. Participants move through the complete treatment pathway with guided clinical reasoning.

A central teaching point
Microfat and Nanofat Are Not Interchangeable.
One of the central lessons is understanding the difference between structural and regenerative fat applications—and choosing the form of fat that serves the actual treatment goal.
01 / Microfat
Restore
structure.
Microfat is used primarily when the goal is volume restoration and structural support.
Potential applications
Temples · Midface · Cheek · Selected lower-face areas · Contour deficiencies · Age-related volume loss
Clinical discussion
Particle size · Processing · Injection plane · Cannula selection · Volume strategy · Predictability · Survival considerations · Limitations · Overcorrection risk
02 / nanofat
Support
tissue quality.
Nanofat is processed differently and is not primarily used as a volumizing treatment.
Potential applications
Skin quality · Fine lines · Texture · Crepey skin · Selected perioral areas · Selected periorbital areas · Regenerative skin applications
Clinical discussion
Production · Difference from microfat · Appropriate and inappropriate uses · Realistic expectations · Combination strategies
Microfat restores structure. Nanofat is used when the goal is tissue quality rather than bulk volume.
patient selection
The Right Patient Matters More Than the Technique.
Not every patient with volume loss is a good candidate for fat transfer.
The goal is appropriate treatment selection, not finding a reason to perform fat transfer.
Facial anatomy
Skin laxity + tissue quality
Prior filler + surgery
Smoking + healing risk
Fat-retention variability
Sequencing with devices
Degree of volume loss
Donor-site availability
Weight stability
Expectations + downtime
When another option may be more appropriate
Filler / Biostimulatory injectables / RF / Laser / Plasma / Surgery / Skin-quality treatment without volume replacement
Donor site, harvest, processing
Protect the Tissue You Plan to Use.
Where and how you harvest matters. We assess common donor areas—including abdomen, flank, inner thigh, outer thigh, and other appropriate sites—through tissue quality, access, comfort, positioning, harvest efficiency, contour considerations, and the amount and type of fat needed.
Sterile setup
Tumescent strategy
Cannula selection
Syringe-based harvesting
Minimizing tissue trauma
Separation + filtration
Emulsification
Microfat + nanofat preparation
Transfer between syringes
Maintaining consistency
The quality of the final product depends heavily on what happens before injection.
From structural support to skin quality
Know the Role of Fat in the Larger Plan.
Structural fat transfer
Restore What Has Been Lost.
Explore temples, cheeks, midface, selected jawline or contour applications, facial asymmetry, and global versus focal restoration through volume planning, layered treatment, conservative correction, retention variability, staged treatment, and integration with filler or other modalities.
Regenerative skin applications
When Volume Is Not the Primary Goal.
Discuss nanofat and related processed adipose approaches for selected perioral or periorbital skin, fine lines, crepey texture, photodamaged skin, and scarred or poor-quality tissue—without treating nanofat as a universal skin-rejuvenation solution.
Combination treatment planning
Fat Transfer Rarely Exists in Isolation.
Participants learn how to think about fat within a larger aesthetic plan—not how to stack procedures indiscriminately.
Facial balancing
PRP / PRF
Biostimulatory treatments
Laser + IPL
Skin-quality therapies
Filler
Regenerative injectables
RF + RF microneedling
Nitrogen plasma
Key questions
Should volume be restored before skin tightening? / Should skin quality be improved before adding volume? / When does filler still make sense? / When should treatments be staged? / What should not be done at the same visit?
Complications + limitations
Know What Can Go Wrong.
Safety is not a footnote in a technical, hands-on procedure.
We take prevention, early recognition, patient counseling, and knowing when referral or escalation is appropriate seriously.
Bruising + swelling
Asymmetry
Contour irregularity
Under- or overcorrection
Variable fat survival
Nodularity + infection
Donor-site irregularity
Prolonged edema
Vascular risk
Inappropriate injection planes
Patient dissatisfaction
Need for staged correction
what you will leave with
A Framework, Not Just a Procedure.
By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to identify appropriate candidates, assess donor sites, plan harvest, understand microfat versus nanofat, process fat for different applications, select facial treatment areas, set realistic expectations, discuss downtime, integrate fat transfer with other modalities, and price/package the service thoughtfully.
Clinical takeaway
The goal is not simply to perform fat transfer.
The goal is to understand where it belongs in regenerative aesthetic care.

You Are Part of the
Clinical Workflow.
This is a technical, hands-on procedure. A group of four leaves room for detailed anatomy review, individual questions, patient and donor-site assessment, harvesting technique, processing practice, close observation, guided hands-on participation, troubleshooting, and treatment-plan discussion.

Meet your instructor
Learn From Catie Harris, PhD, NP
Founder of NursePreneurs and philly wellness center
Catie’s approach to regenerative aesthetics starts with the tissue and the patient—not the procedure. Rather than viewing fat transfer as another injection technique, this intensive considers how adipose tissue can be used strategically within a broader framework of facial aging, volume restoration, and tissue regeneration.
