What is Facial Fat Injection?
Aging manifests as loss of fullness in the cheeks and temples, and hollowness under the eyes, which can cause a tired expression on the face. As this progresses downwards, nasolabial folds (laugh lines), jawline, and bulldog or doll lines descending from the corners of the lips may become more prominent. The way to reverse the signs of aging is to replace the fat lost during the natural aging process, restoring firmness and volume. It also improves skin quality with stem cells in the fat.
Facial fat injection is a procedure used to reverse the signs of aging and give the face a youthful appearance. In this procedure, the patient’s own fat is used to add fullness or volume to specific areas of the face.
How is Facial Fat Injection Performed?
Facial fat injection is generally performed under local anesthesia. However, general anesthesia may be preferred in some cases (especially if multiple procedures are to be performed). During the procedure, fat taken from the patient’s body is prepared through special processes. These processes include washing and centrifugation. The prepared fat is then injected under the skin using a special syringe. Thus, the facial fat injection procedure is completed.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Facial Fat Injection?
Facial fat injection is an ideal option for those who want to reshape their facial contours, address volume loss, or achieve a youthful and fresh look. It can also be chosen by those who want to reduce signs of aging and increase skin elasticity.
Recovery Process After Facial Fat Injection?
Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal during the first few days after the procedure. Resting, applying cold compresses to your face, and elevating your head can help reduce swelling during this period. After a month, swelling and bruising usually disappear completely, and the results become more noticeable.
Results of Facial Fat Injection
