FAQ

Fat Grafting Training FAQ for Nurse Practitioners

Common questions about fat grafting training for nurse practitioners.

Yes, nurse practitioners can perform fat grafting procedures, though scope of practice varies by state. In full practice authority states (over 25 states as of 2024), NPs can perform fat grafting independently. In reduced or restricted practice states, physician collaboration or supervision may be required for surgical procedures like fat transfer. Always verify your specific state's nurse practice act requirements.
Supervision requirements depend on your state. Full practice authority states allow NPs to practice independently without physician oversight. Reduced practice states require a career-long collaborative agreement, while restricted practice states require physician supervision for certain procedures. Fat grafting, as a surgical procedure, may have additional requirements in some states.
Our Autologous Fat Grafting Training Course is completed in 1 day. You'll receive your Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. The course covers fat harvesting, processing, and reinjection techniques so you can begin offering these services to patients (per your state scope of practice).
Fat grafting procedures typically range from $2,500-$5,000+ for facial treatments. NPs working in aesthetic practices or medical spas can significantly increase their earning potential by adding fat grafting to their service offerings. Many NPs earn additional income through production bonuses or by starting their own aesthetic practice in full practice authority states.
In full practice authority states, NPs can open independent aesthetic practices offering fat grafting services. In other states, you may need a collaborative agreement or physician oversight arrangement. Many NPs successfully build thriving aesthetic practices—either independently or in partnership with physicians—offering fat grafting alongside other cosmetic services.
