EVFT — A Distinction of Our Practice
EVFT for breast augmentation employs advanced fat-transfer technology engineered to significantly enhance fat survival beyond current industry standards. Traditional fat transfer can fail because many fat cells are damaged during liposuction and mixed with blood and other non-fat material—elements the body ultimately absorbs, reducing long-term volume. EVFT addresses this by gently purifying and restoring harvested fat cells before transfer, allowing healthier cells to integrate more effectively. The result is naturally shaped, softly contoured breasts with improved consistency and lasting elegance.
The procedure can be performed awake under local anesthesia, prioritizing comfort while reducing anesthesia-related risks and recovery time.
As pioneers of Enhanced Viability Fat Transfer (EVFT), our surgeons have spent years refining this technique—well ahead of most practices—ensuring the breast augmentation experience our patients invest in delivers beautiful, enduring results that feel as natural as they look.
Depending on patient preference, this procedure may be performed awake or with general anesthesia.

Dr. Artz is a PHENOMENAL surgeon. He did a spectacular job with my lip lift. I consulted with several other surgeons including a well known one for lip lifts whose plan didn’t seem like a good fit for me which was confirmed when Dr. Artz explained the process, aesthetics, and healing during consult. Traveling to Defyne was the best decision. If you are considering any facial work please do yourself a favor and consult with him first. Thank you for doing my case! It’s been transformative in ways I didn’t imagine. Also, the entire staff is amazing. No one can tell I had a procedure because the scar is so good only 9 days post op!
Dr. Nellie Movtchan is an exceptional surgeon. From the moment I met her, I knew without a doubt that she was the perfect doctor for me. Her expertise and confidence immediately put me at ease.
I also can’t say enough good things about the rest of the staff. Erica, who manages the front desk, and my nurse Denise, along with every single person I interacted with, made me feel truly cared for. They ensured that my experience was seamless and that I always felt like a priority.

From the initial consultation to my final follow-up, my experience with Dr. Artz and his entire practice was nothing short of exceptional. As someone who underwent a combined Lipo360 and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, I had significant expectations, and they were exceeded in every way.
Dr. Artz is a true artist and a perfectionist in the best sense of the word. His approach is meticulous and detail-oriented. During our consultations, he spent extensive time discussing my goals, setting realistic expectations, and mapping out a precise surgical plan. It was clear he wasn’t just performing a procedure; he was sculpting a result. This perfectionism translates directly to his work my results are balanced, natural-looking, and exactly what I hoped for. He has an incredible eye for contour and symmetry.
His professionalism is unmatched. He creates an environment of trust and confidence, patiently answering every question and addressing every concern without ever making you feel rushed. You are in the care of a surgeon who is both supremely skilled and genuinely compassionate.
A major factor in choosing Dr. Artz was his commitment to using the latest technology. His facility is equipped with state of the arts tools and techniques, which he expertly utilizes for both safety and optimal outcomes. For my Lipo360/BBL, this modern approach contributed to a smoother procedure, enhanced precision in fat harvesting and purification, and has played a role in my comfortable recovery.
It is impossible to talk about this experience without praising the excellence of his entire team. From the patient coordinator Missy who guided me seamlessly through the scheduling and pre-op process, to the kind and knowledgeable nurses Christina, and Erica the receptionist. The surgical nurses and assistants were an integral part of the process, and the post-operative care team has been incredibly supportive, responsive, and attentive during my recovery. They truly function as a cohesive, caring unit, making you feel valued and well-cared for at every step.
If you are considering a procedure like Lipo360 and BBL, or any cosmetic surgery, and are looking for a blend of artistic perfectionism, cutting-edge technology, and a world-class supportive team, look no further than Dr. Artz.
