To add volume and
enhance the features of the face, this treatment involves the injection of fat
into the face.
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
If you wish to add volume to your face or get rid of facial wrinkles or hollows, you might be an excellent candidate for fat injection treatments. Consult with a plastic surgeon who can assess your unique demands and medical background to find out if you are a good candidate.
How is the procedure performed?
Local anesthetic is frequently used while injecting fat into the face. The surgeon will first use liposuction to remove fat from another part of your body. The fat is then cleaned up and processed before being injected into the parts of the face that the patient desires.
How long does the procedure usually last?
The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
How long will I need to remain in the hospital after the procedure?
You won’t need to stay in the hospital following a fat injection surgery because they are frequently done as outpatient procedures.
What is the healing process after surgery?
Following the treatment, you might notice some swelling and bruising, but these side effects should go away in a few days. You might also have some minor pain, which is manageable with over-the-counter painkillers. You must adhere to the surgeon’s directions regarding how to take care of the treated region as well as how to avoid strenuous activities while you’re recovering.
Will the procedure leave scars?
Given that the fat is usually extracted with a little needle, fat injection to the face shouldn’t leave any noticeable scars. On the other hand, the area where the fat was removed may have minor scarring.
How long before I can return to my normal daily activities?
After the operation, the majority of people are able to resume their regular daily activities within a few days. To care for the treated region properly, you should avoid strenuous exercise and adhere to your surgeon’s instructions.
