Fat Injection

What is Fat Injection?

Fat injection is a procedure in which fat tissue taken from a person's own body is injected into different areas of the body for aesthetic purposes. This technique is commonly used to increase volume and create contours in areas such as the face, breasts, buttocks, and hands. Fat injection is considered a natural filler and minimizes the risk of allergic reactions in the body.

Who is it Suitable For?

Fat injection may be a suitable option for the following situations:

• Individuals experiencing volume loss in the face
• Those who wish to define their facial features
• Individuals looking to add volume to the breast or buttock areas
• People wanting to reduce signs of aging
• Those wanting to undergo a filler application using their own body fat

Procedure Process

The fat injection procedure generally consists of the following steps:

1. Consultation: An examination is conducted by a specialist doctor to determine needs.
2. Fat Harvesting: Fat is taken from the desired area (usually the abdomen, buttocks, or thigh).
3. Fat Processing: The harvested fat is processed as needed and prepared for injection.
4. Injection: The fat is injected into the target areas using fine needles.

Recovery Process

The recovery process after fat injection is generally quick. Mild swelling or bruising may occur after the procedure, but this condition resolves shortly. Patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days. However, it may take several weeks to see the final results.
