Facial fat injection is a natural and effective aesthetic procedure used to eliminate signs of aging, compensate for volume loss, and enhance facial contours. Fat tissue taken from your own body undergoes specific processes to become suitable for injection and is then transferred to various areas of the face. This method not only provides volume but also improves skin quality.
What is Facial Fat Injection?
Facial fat injection involves extracting fat tissue from the patient’s own body, usually from the abdomen, thighs, or waist, through liposuction. The extracted fat is then processed and injected into the required areas of the face.
This method offers a natural alternative to dermal fillers and minimizes allergy risks since the patient’s own fat is used. Additionally, fat tissue contains a high concentration of stem cells, promoting skin rejuvenation and giving the skin a brighter, healthier appearance.
Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Transfer from Fat Tissue
The harvested fat contains a certain amount of stem cells. Specific methods are used to refine this fat into a more stem cell-rich liquid form known as Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF).
Using SVF alongside fat injection enhances the transfer of rejuvenating cells to tissues. SVF increases skin elasticity, reduces fine wrinkles, and strengthens the overall facial rejuvenation effect. It is typically injected into delicate skin areas such as fine wrinkles and around the eyes. This process not only increases volume but also improves skin texture quality.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Facial Fat Injection?
This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing facial volume loss, seeking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and desiring a fuller and more refreshed facial appearance.
Additionally, those who wish to enhance their cheekbones, define their jawline, or eliminate under-eye hollows can also benefit from this method.
How is the Procedure Performed?
- Fat Extraction Phase: Fat is harvested from suitable body areas using liposuction.
- Fat Processing: The extracted fat is purified and prepared for injection.
- SVF Isolation: Fat is processed to obtain SVF, creating a more cell-enriched fat preparation.
- Injection Phase: The prepared fat and SVF are injected into designated facial areas using fine cannulas.
Advantages
- Natural Appearance: Since your own fat tissue is used, the results look very natural.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Compared to dermal fillers, fat injections tend to be more permanent.
- Improved Skin Quality: Thanks to SVF content, it rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin while increasing elasticity.
- Minimal Allergy Risk: As the procedure utilizes the body's own tissue, there is no risk of foreign material reaction.
- Rejuvenating Effect: SVF activates skin repair mechanisms, promoting a youthful appearance.
Recovery and Post-Treatment Process
Patients can usually return to daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, mild swelling and bruising may occur, which typically subside within a few days. The final results become apparent within 3-6 months, depending on fat retention rates.
