Fat Injections

Fat injections, also known as lipofilling or fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves taking fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then injecting it into another area, such as the buttocks, breasts, or face. This technique is becoming increasingly popular because it allows for natural and long-lasting results.

How does it work?

The fat is removed by liposuction using small cannulas. It is then treated and purified before being injected into the desired area. The injected fat will take root and survive, which allows to increase the volume and improve the shape of the treated area.

Benefits

• Natural and long-lasting results
• Use of the patient’s own fat
• Improved skin texture and quality
• Minimal scarring

Disadvantages

• Risk of resorption of the injected fat
• Need for several sessions to achieve the desired result
• Risks associated with liposuction and injections

Areas treated

Fat injections can be used to increase the volume and improve the shape of different areas of the body, including:

• Buttocks
• Breasts
• Face (cheekbones, temples, chin)
• Hands

Post-operative care

Post-operative care varies depending on the area treated. In general, a recovery time of a few days to a few weeks should be expected. It is important to follow the surgeon’s recommendations to optimize results and minimize risks.

Fat injections are an effective and safe technique to increase the volume and improve the shape of different areas of the body. If you are interested in this procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations.
