Fat injection
Fat Injections is extracting fat from specific points of the body and inject back to the targeted area for ampleness after passing through special tests. The process, also known as lipo injection or Lipofilling, is only performed at well-known clinics and professional doctors.
A fat Injections that provides embonpoint and volume to the body is especially needed for the face, chest area, and butt. After the fat injection process, there are no scars left on the body, and after one month, the process ultimately starts showing up.
Donor And Transplant Areas For Fat Injections
The belly, waist, and butt areas for lipo injection are common donor areas. Along with that, the fat extracted from the patient’s arms and legs by standard liposuction and even eyelid esthetic surgery could be processed and used for a fat injection operation.
The face area is the most preferred location to inject fat in the fat injection process. Lip thickening, stretching the deep marks around the lips, sharpening the chin, cheekbone filling, stretching the marks on the face’s surface are successfully resulted after fat injection operation. Breast enlargement, shaping the bandy legs, butt enlargement, fixing the deformations caused by liposuction, shaping the hips, and such operations are also accomplished by Lipofilling procedures.
How is it Performed?
The first step of the procedure is the removal of fat through liposuction. Small incisions are made near the donor area and a thin cannula is inserted to draw out excess fat. The extracted fat is then carefully purified and processed to preserve the best quality fat cells.
Once the fat has been extracted, it undergoes a purification process to remove any impurities or unwanted substances. This purification process ensures that only the purest and healthiest fat cells are used for the fat injection. After purification, the fat is carefully processed to preserve its vitality and integrity. This process involves separating the fat cells from excess fluids or debris, resulting in a concentrated fat cell solution ready for injection.
The next step is the injection of purified fat cells into the targeted area. Using a small needle or cannula, the surgeon carefully injects the fat cells to achieve the desired volume. Multiple injections may be required to ensure even distribution and natural-looking results.
Once the fat cells are injected, they integrate with the surrounding tissues and create a blood supply that allows them to survive and thrive in their new location. Over time, these fat cells become a permanent part of the body, providing long-lasting volume enhancement.
Recovery Time
Most people can resume light activities within a few days, but more strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for several weeks. It is important to follow the surgeon’s guidelines for optimal recovery and to minimize the risk of complications.
Fat injection offers long-lasting results compared to other temporary fillers. While some of the transferred fat may initially be reabsorbed by the body, the remaining fat cells create a blood supply and become permanent. These cells behave like normal fat cells, expanding and contracting with weight fluctuations.
Benefits and Risks
Most important advantages of Lipofilling is that by using the patient’s own fat, it eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. This natural procedure not only reduces the likelihood of complications, but also provides a more harmonious integration with the surrounding tissues, resulting in a more natural and long-lasting improvement.
Other hand, Infection, although rare, is a potential complication that can be minimized by following proper postoperative care instructions. Bleeding and scarring are also possible risks, but with meticulous surgical techniques and proper wound management, the likelihood of these complications is significantly reduced.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Fat Injection?
Fat injection is ideal for those who want to add or enhance volume in areas such as the face, breasts, buttocks or hands.It is important that candidates have sufficient fat reserves in their donor area. This ensures a sufficient supply of suitable fat for transfer.
Does Fat Injections Provide Permanent Results?
For an excellent injection, the fat tissues must be protected from getting damaged during the transfer process of the fats to the new area. All thanks to the improving technologies, fat taken from the donor area can easily be transferred to the target area without exposure to the air. Also, fat grafting and transformation methods of the fat and surgical utensils carry immense importance for keeping the tissues healthy.
Is It Possible Store The Injected Fat Cells For Later?
It is possible to hide the fat cells in a sterile frozen place to use them later. Those frozen cells reduce the work for another lipo-injection operation.
3 Precautions Before And After Fat Injections
– Blood thinner usage has to be stopped ten days before fat injection operation.
– If the client is on a prescription, the doctor must be informed about the medications.
– After the operation, a cold compress has to be applied to prevent swellings.
– Next day after the surgery, moisturizing creams could be applied.
– 4-5 days after the operation, light massage moves could be practiced. (Massaging helps the swellings to fade)
– After the operation, excessively hot and steamy environments must be avoided. (hot and steam may cause the swelling to increase).
