Fat injection, which is called autologous fat transplantation, is the injection of fat taken from the areas where there is excess fat in the person's body and processed into areas with a lack of volume.
Fat injection, which is called autologous fat transplantation, is the injection of fat taken from the areas where there is excess fat in the person's body and processed into areas with a lack of volume. Body fat is an excellent soft tissue filler.
It can also be used to fill sunken areas anywhere on the body. This method, in which the person's own fat tissue is used, does not cause any side effects and allergies.
It is a method that can be used to;
Filling the depression areas on the face and body,
In improving the quality of the skin areas exposed to radiotherapy,
In atrophic scar filling for less visible scars,
In breast reconstruction revision surgery, that is, in breast augmentation and restructuring of the breasts,
and add more volume to certain areas on the face and body.
The fat to be used in the fat injection method is usually taken from the abdomen, hips, waist and thighs. Apart from these, it may be possible to remove fat from other parts of the body that the surgeon deems appropriate. The needs and expectations of the patients may affect the liposuction technique used in line with the differentiation of the area to be removed and the area to be treated.
Local anesthesia is injected into the donor area and the treatment area. In order to facilitate the collection of fat, intravenous fluids are injected into the donor area. Fat cells are removed by liposuction method.
The oil is then processed by draining and centrifugation to separate the debris, excess fluid and dead cells from the living adipose fat cells.
Another alternative is to wash the oil with a sterile saline solution. The discarded fats are probably fat cells that will not survive in the graft, thus preventing the possibility of causing problems for good cells. The processed fat is re-injected as small droplets throughout the subcutaneous tissue of the desired area.
Thus, it is aimed to ensure the best possible blood supply to each fat drop so that the fat graft can survive. In the post-treatment period, more fat is injected than needed, as the body will absorb some of the injected fat.
Fat injection is a procedure used for the purpose of enlarging or filling the areas with a lack of volume in the body. It is generally applied on the hands, face, chest, hips and skin depressions following liposuction or scarring.
Facial fat injection is also known as lipofilling. It is a minimally invasive plastic surgery procedure in which body fat taken from the person's hip, abdomen, thighs or another suitable area such as jowl is used to give volume to certain areas of the face or to restore the lost volume.
It can be used to;
In restoring sunken cheeks,
In plumping thin lips,
In the improvement of dimples in the skin,
and remove deep nasolabial folds and Marionette lines.
Fat injection is a multi-step treatment that involves removing fat from a part of the body, processing the fat cells by centrifugation or filtering, and then injecting it into the application area. Provides plumping, lifting and smoothing of the application area.
Filtered and highly refined fat cells have the potential to heal and rejuvenate fine, wrinkled skin and dark circles under the eyes. Fat is one of the body's best sources for stem cells.
For this reason, autologous fat transfer provides the advantage of general facial rejuvenation and a youthful appearance as one of the anti-aging treatment methods, due to its growth factors and its ability to stimulate collagen production beyond the area where the fat is transferred.
The fat injection procedure to the face consists of three stages. The application time may vary depending on the amount of oil to be taken and the size of the application area. The area where the fat will be taken is determined and local anesthesia is applied. A small incision is made in the donor area. Fat is collected with a thin cannula connected to a vacuum. The fat cells are spun in a centrifuge and filtered.
The purified fat is transferred to smaller cannulas or syringes for injection. After the face is anesthetized with local anesthesia, a tiny cannula is placed in the area where volume is desired.
The cannula enters and exits the area to be filled many times, and adipose tissue is accumulated in each pass until the desired effect is achieved. The process is terminated when the desired volume is achieved.
Using one's own body fat reduces the risk of allergic reactions. The stem cells contained in the oil can provide a continuous facial rejuvenation effect from the inside out.
In addition, the injected oil is the method with the longest duration of action, which enables the reversal of facial volume loss.
Swelling, redness and bruising seen after the application usually resolves within a week. A small amount of pain may be felt. In this case, the use of painkillers may be the solution. In order to reduce swelling, care should be taken to keep the head elevated for the period specified by the doctor.
Forehead fat injection is a procedure that is applied by infusing the patient's own body fat to minimize wrinkles and add volume to the face, creating an anti-aging effect.
In order for the application to be successful, it is very important to collect the fat manually and carefully so that the usable fat cells have a higher viability.
It is very important to process the oil prior to injection to remove contaminants such as body oils and blood from the oil to ensure they are of the highest quality and purity.
A small part of the resulting refined oil is injected into different layers of the forehead. The difficulty of forehead fat injection is that the forehead consists of skin, a thin layer of muscle and bone. There is not as much soft tissue to be injected into as in the cheeks and chin.
Fats taken from any part of the body can be used in oil injection to the forehead. But overall the quality of fat is better in the thighs and abdomen. While many patients want the fat in their arms to be removed because they want the slack in their arms to be removed, the arms are not a high quality source of fat.
However, the filtration process applied has an important role in obtaining better results, regardless of which part of the body the fat is taken from.
In some cases, forehead oil injection is applied with other parts of the face such as cheeks, nose bridge and chin. Fat injection method can also be used to eliminate the problems of people who have scars on their foreheads and whose region structure is not smooth.
Fat injection is a very effective method in improving the forehead appearance of patients with deep scars in the forehead area. Forehead fat transfer is a procedure that is completed in about an hour.
Fat injection on the forehead gives volume to the area and provides a smoother appearance. However, the treatment is for shaping and not for wrinkles.
Although fat injection makes wrinkles appear less deep, it does not reduce the function of the frontal muscle that causes wrinkles or temporarily disable the muscle. For this reason, if it is desired to fight wrinkles, an effective result can be obtained thanks to botox.
Recovery time is usually pretty quick. Some swelling may occur after the injection. The swelling is more intense in the first week. When the swelling subsides, the final results of the application can be observed.
