Sharp Needle Intradermal Fat (SNIF) Grafting is a revolutionary, minimally-invasive procedure used by cosmetic surgeons and plastic surgeons to remove stubborn fat from areas of the body that are difficult to target with diet and exercise. At Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic, in Lucknow, we are proud to offer SNIF Grafting performed by top board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Shree Harsh, who specializes in performing the highest quality SNIF procedures.
If you are considering SNIF Grafting, we encourage you to reach out to Dr. Shree Harsh to learn more about the procedure and find out if it is the right choice for you. Unlike liposuction, which is a more invasive procedure, SNIF Grafting is a simple procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis and has only minor side effects. Exploring SNIF Grafting may be the right choice for you if you’re looking to get rid of stubborn fat around your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks with minimal downtime and a natural-looking, long-lasting result.
Sharp Needle Intradermal Fat (SNIF) Grafting is a unique procedure in which small areas of stubborn fat are removed from the body with a sharp needle. The benefits of SNIF Grafting include minimal downtime, a natural-looking result, and a potential long-lasting result — but you should always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic surgeon before deciding to move forward with SNIF Grafting.
At Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic, Dr. Shree Harsh, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is an expert in performing SNIF Grafting procedures. Dr. Shree Harsh precisely removes the stubborn fat with a sharp needle and performs liposuction to remove any excess fat cells that may remain. The fat cells are then injected back into the desired area to give the patient a smooth, natural-looking result.
SNIF Grafting is ideal for individuals who are in good physical condition and have fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure is best suited for patients who have a firm elastic skin but are unable to get rid of stubborn fat through exercise. Preference should be given to individuals with limited amounts of fat, as excessive fat may require more complex fat removal techniques.
It is important to note that SNIF Grafting is not recommended for individuals who are overweight. Overweight individuals should seek out alternative weight-loss treatments such as diet and exercise to lost excess fat, rather than opting for cosmetic surgery.

SNIF Grafting is most commonly performed as an outpatient procedure. During the procedure, local anesthesia will be applied to the target area to numb it. Then, Dr. Shree Harsh will make a small incision around the fat deposit and insert a sharp needle into the incision to carefully remove the stubborn fat.
Once the fat has been successfully removed, a small liposuction cannula is used to remove any remaining fat cells. This ensures that the area is smooth. Lastly, the fat is injected back into the desired area to give the patient a natural-looking, long-lasting result.
SNIF Grafting can yield long-lasting, natural-looking results for patients. However, SNIF Grafting is not a substitute for healthy eating and exercising. Rather, it is a tool that can be used to remove stubborn fat in areas that are difficult to target with diet and exercise alone.
In addition, it is important to note that results will vary from patient to patient, and the results of the procedure cannot be guaranteed. It is best to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Shree Harsh at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic, in order to have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
SNIF Grafting is a minimally-invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few days after the procedure. Dr. Shree Harsh will provide detailed post-operative instructions, which may include taking a few days of rest, avoiding strenuous physical activity, wearing a compression garment, and applying cold compresses to reduce swelling.
It is important to note that each patient’s recovery process will vary, depending on how much fat is removed and the area that is treated. Our goal is to provide our patients with a safe and speedy recovery.
Like any other medical procedure, SNIF Grafting carries certain risks and potential complications. While SNIF Grafting is relatively safe, it is still important to be aware of the potential risks associated with the procedure.
The most common risks include temporary swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness in the area treated. These side effects will usually subside after a few days. Rarely, the area injected may also develop an infection. It is important to monitor the area and contact a physician if there is cause for concern. Additionally, Dr. Shree Harsh will discuss the potential risks of the procedure in detail during the initial consultation.
The cost of SNIF Grafting depends on several factors including the area that is treated, the amount of fat that is removed, and the complexity of the procedure. We encourage patients to get an estimate for their individual circumstances by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Shree Harsh at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic.
Dr. Shree Harsh will provide a detailed understanding of the cost of the procedure, as well as helping the patient understand the options available to them for financing the procedure if needed.
When you schedule a SNIF Grafting consultation with Dr. Shree Harsh, we encourage you to bring several photos of yourself to the consultation, ideally from both before and after any previous weight loss. This will help Dr. Shree Harsh get a better understanding of your desired results from the procedure.
In addition, it is important that you are honest and upfront about any medical conditions or medications that you are currently taking, as this may affect the outcome of the procedure. Lastly, be sure to ask any questions that you have about the SNIF Grafting procedure during the consultation.
