Fat Harvesting and Processing
The initial step in facial rejuvenation with fat injection involves the careful harvesting of adipose tissue from the patient’s body. This is usually done using liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure. Common donor areas for fat extraction include the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The surgeon employs a thin tube (cannula) to suction out the fat cells gently. Once harvested, the fat is then processed meticulously to remove impurities, excess fluids, and damaged cells. This purification process ensures that only healthy fat cells are used for the injection. The purified fat is then carefully prepared and made ready for injection into the targeted facial areas, where it will help restore lost volume and create a more youthful and natural appearance.
Technique Selection
✓ Microdroplet Technique : Involves injecting tiny droplets of purified fat to achieve a smooth and even distribution in the target area.
✓ Serial Puncture Technique : Utilizes a series of precise punctures to deposit fat in multiple layers for a natural-looking result.
✓ Cross-Hatching Technique : Fat is injected in a crisscross pattern to ensure a more uniform and balanced augmentation.
Results & Recovery
Following the fat injection procedure, patients notice immediate facial volume improvement. Although initial swelling and bruising may occur, they typically subside within a week or two. Final results become evident as swelling decreases, offering a natural, rejuvenated appearance with smoother skin. The lasting effects make fat injection an enduring solution, though a touch-up may be needed. Adhering to post-operative care instructions, gentle skincare, and follow-up appointments with the surgeon ensures a smooth recovery and optimizes results.
