Also known as fat transfer or fat injections, it is a procedure that uses a person’s own fat to correct facial features (such as “drooping” cheeks or wrinkles between the lower eyelids and cheekbone), to tone features (such as cheekbones), or to smooth out facial or body irregularities such as those resulting from failed liposuction or injuries.

01.
Procedure
The necessary fat is obtained by liposuction, subjected to special processing, and then injected and distributed evenly to the area needed by injecting small amounts. It is assimilated and remains permanently alive in the receiving tissues, which supply it with blood, oxygen, and nutrients. Usually, more fat is placed than would be required to fill the volume we want because some of the transplanted fat is inevitably absorbed and lost after placement.
02.
How does the patient recover?
The recovery process depends on where the fat was taken and where it was placed. For some areas of the body, it may be necessary to use a pressure garment.
The modern technology we use, disposable materials, and advanced techniques guarantee both the procedure result and the recovery time reduction. To ensure the procedure’s success and maintain the result for a long time, smoking cessation is strongly suggested at least six weeks before the procedure and during the rehabilitation period.
03.
Potential risks
Bruising, swelling, and oversensitivity may be seen both in the area that gives the fat and in the treated area. The final result is assessed after three months, and due to the relatively unpredictable behavior of the transplanted fat, there is a possibility that additional micro-correction may be required.
