Fat Injections (Lipofilling) Aesthetics
1 - What is Fat Injections (Lipofilling)?
Fat injections (lipofilling) are a natural filling procedure performed by processing fat tissue taken from certain parts of the body and injecting it into the face or another part of the body. This method is an aesthetic application that is fully compatible with the body and used for both volume gain and skin rejuvenation. With the aging process, volume loss, wrinkles and sagging may occur on the face; these symptoms can be eliminated naturally with fat injection. This method, which can be applied to different areas such as the face, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hands and hips, increases skin quality and provides a young and fresh appearance. Since the fat tissue is taken from the person's own body, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal and it provides a long-lasting natural volume. This fat tissue, which is rich in stem cells, not only adds volume, but also improves skin quality in the area where it is applied, providing a healthier appearance.
2 - How is Fat Injections (Lipofilling) Performed?
Fat injections are performed by removing excess fat with liposuction, purifying this fat through special processes, and then injecting it into the area where volume is desired. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes an average of 1-2 hours. First, fat is removed from areas with high fat content such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, or inside the knees with liposuction. This fat is then subjected to special filtering and purification processes to make it more easily accepted by the body.
The purified fat tissue obtained is injected into target areas such as the face, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hips, hands, or breast area with microinjection. While some fat is absorbed by the body after fat injections, the fat cells that provide permanent volume maintain their effect in the relevant area for a long time. Minimal bruising and swelling may be observed after the procedure, but the recovery process is usually fast. Since fat injection is performed using the person's own fat tissue, it does not carry the risk of allergy and provides a natural fullness.
3 - Who Are Fat Injections (Lipofilling) Suitable For?
Fat injections are an ideal procedure for individuals who have lost volume in their face or body, need skin rejuvenation and want to achieve a fuller appearance. It is a very effective solution especially for those who want to eliminate volume loss, wrinkles and hollowness that occur due to aging on the face. Those who want to highlight their cheekbones, lips and jawline can prefer their own natural fat tissue instead of fillers.
In addition, fat injection offers a natural and effective option for individuals who have liposuction and want to evaluate excess fat in their body. People who want a natural volume increase instead of silicone implants for breast or hip aesthetics can also benefit from this method. Fat injections also offer an excellent rejuvenation method with their stem cell-rich content for individuals who want to improve their skin quality and make their skin healthier. Anyone who is in good general health and has sufficient fat tissue in their body can be a suitable candidate for this procedure.
4 - What is the Recovery Process After Fat Injections (Lipofilling)?
The recovery process after fat injections may vary depending on the area where the procedure is performed and the person's general health status. After the procedure, mild swelling, bruising and tenderness may be observed in the first few days, but these effects usually subside within a week. There may be mild pain and edema in the area where the fat is taken, but this condition resolves on its own within a few days.
During the first week, heavy physical activities should be avoided and the care instructions recommended by the doctor should be followed. While some of the injected fat cells are absorbed by the body, the permanent cells provide long-term fullness in the relevant area. The final results usually settle completely within 3-6 months and a natural volume increase is observed in the procedure area.
In order to achieve longer-lasting results, a healthy diet should be adopted, sufficient water should be consumed and regular exercise should be done. A significant rejuvenation and increase in elasticity is observed in the skin after fat injections. When applied with the right techniques, fat injections offer natural, long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
Fat injections (lipofilling) hold an important place in the world of aesthetics as a natural and long-term rejuvenation method that adds volume to the face and body. When applied with the right patient selection and appropriate techniques, it is an excellent method that improves skin quality and improves facial features aesthetically.
