The loss of volume, fine lines, and wrinkles that occur with the aging process can negatively affect your aesthetic appearance. Fortunately, one of the modern aesthetic techniques, Fat Injection – Fat Grafting, offers natural and permanent solutions for these issues. Fat injection is performed by injecting your own fat, harvested from your body, into the desired areas, thereby restoring volume to your skin and providing a younger and more dynamic appearance.
What is Fat Injection – Fat Grafting?
Fat injection – fat grafting is an aesthetic procedure in which fat, taken from certain areas of the body, is processed and then injected into areas that are prominent in terms of aesthetics such as the face, lips, and cheeks. This method restores volume while preserving the natural tissue of the skin and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Fat grafting is considered a natural alternative to synthetic fillers such as hyaluronic acid.
How is Fat Injection – Fat Grafting Performed?
The procedure generally lasts between 30 and 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. Prior to the procedure, your expert doctor evaluates the condition of your skin and determines the areas from which fat will be harvested. Fat harvesting is generally performed by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen or thighs. The harvested fat is then purified and processed to make it suitable for injection into the desired areas. Using fine needles, the fat is carefully injected into the target area. After the procedure, patients can usually return to their daily activities on the same day.
In Which Cases is Fat Injection – Fat Grafting Applied?
- Facial Volume Loss: To correct the loss of volume in the face that comes with the signs of aging.
- Cheek Augmentation: To achieve fuller and more youthful-looking cheeks.
- Lip Augmentation: To naturally enhance the volume of the lips.
- Tear Troughs: To add volume to the area under the eyes for a more defined and attractive appearance.
- Chin Augmentation: To enhance the definition of the chin and achieve facial symmetry.
- Hand Rejuvenation: To reduce the signs of aging in the hands.
Advantages and Risks
Fat injection – fat grafting stands out for its natural and lasting results. Since the fat used is harvested from your own body, no foreign substances remain in the skin, and the risk of allergic reactions is reduced. In addition, fat tissue serves both as a filler and helps increase skin elasticity, thus supporting a rejuvenated appearance.
However, as with any aesthetic procedure, there are some risks associated with fat injection – fat grafting. Side effects such as infection, swelling, bruising, or asymmetry may occur. In rare cases, the absorption of the fat by the body may lead to undesired results. Therefore, it is crucial to have the treatment performed by experienced and certified specialists.
The Recovery Process
The recovery process following a fat injection – fat grafting treatment is generally quick. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising after the procedure, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Protecting the treated area from the sun, using moisturizing creams, and avoiding excessively hot environments support the healing process and enhance the longevity of the results. Full results appear over several weeks as the injected fat is gradually absorbed and the skin’s elasticity improves.
Fat injection – fat grafting is an effective method to enhance your natural beauty and improve your aesthetic appearance. With natural results, long-lasting effects, and minimal side effects, this treatment is an ideal option for those seeking a younger and more dynamic appearance.
