Fat injection is the ideal procedure for correcting volume deficiencies on the face or any region of the body. The facial region, in particular, experiences a loss of collagen volume over the years, leading to an unhappy and aged appearance. Fat injection is a highly effective method to restore this youthful look.
Promising results can be achieved, especially among patients without excess skin. This treatment is suitable for any region of the body. The procedure involves a liposuction operation, followed by processing the extracted fat, which is then carefully injected into the desired areas of the face and body using a specialized cannula, leaving minimal scarring. Swelling subsides within 1 to 3 weeks.
The injected fat does not completely dissolve; approximately 40% of it remains after 6 months. A second session can help maintain the desired volume for about 5 to 6 years. These estimates may vary from person to person. Fat injection can also be combined with various other procedures.
