fat grafting

I have watched your videos and seen a few clips of you performing surgery and harvesting fat. I am very intersted in getting it done.

Just curious, what color is our fat (it looks yellow on the vidoes) and what is the texture like. I always pictured it looking like lard (clear and almost gel like)

it is yellow and soft like a liquid. it tastes bad though. (just kidding). some fat is harder. some fat is softer. ultimately, that won't make a difference in your result. i had one lady with the wateriest fat i have ever encountered, and i have followed her now over 2.5 years and it has held perfectly.
