Facial fat injection involves the extraction of fat from the body through liposuction, commonly from areas like the abdomen, which is then processed and purified. Afterward, it is carefully injected into specific areas of the face that require correction or increased volume, such as the cheeks or lips.
The process aims to provide natural and long-lasting results. The cosmetic surgeon sculpts the injected fat to achieve the desired shape. Although recovery is typically swift, final results may take a few weeks to be fully visible, as the fat integrates with the surrounding tissue.
Includes: Surgeon's fees, surgical equipment, operating room, and outpatient stay in the hospital. Additionally, post-surgical follow-up appointments necessary until discharge are also covered.
Not included: Pre-operative tests, and necessary medications.
Ideal candidates for facial fat injection are individuals in good health with enough fat for liposuction in specific areas. It is recommended for those with facial asymmetry or loss of volume and having realistic expectations about the results is important. A consultation with a cosmetic surgeon is essential to assess the suitability of the patient.
Facial fat injection differs from other facial rejuvenation treatments by using the patient's autologous fat to add volume and correct asymmetries, providing long-lasting and natural results. While other methods may employ synthetic substances, have temporary outcomes, or focus on different aspects of facial aging, lipofilling stands out for its comprehensive approach, utilizing the patient's own fat extracted through liposuction.
Facial fat injection surgery does not leave visible scars, as fat is injected through small incisions less than 1 millimeter in length.
After facial fat injection surgery, analgesics and antibiotics are recommended to prevent infections and manage pain. Additionally, the use of sunscreen is advised as part of postoperative measures.
The risks and potential complications associated with facial fat injection include the minimal risk of bleeding during the first 24 to 48 hours, although it is extremely rare. Another potential risk is the possibility of infection, though effective preventive measures are taken through the prescription of antibiotics.
