Lipofilling
Lipofilling
Adipose tissue is a natural filler that has been frequently preferred in recent years. Since the person’s own tissue is used, it does not cause any reaction. It can also be obtained in the desired amount and easily. Therefore, it creates an economical filling option. It can be used to replace the loss of volume, which is a sign of aging on the face. It is useful in removing pits in the body. It can be used in breast augmentation surgeries to reduce the visibility of the prosthesis and to make the scars on the skin more acceptable. Approximately 30% of the given fat melts. However, the remaining part is permanent, as it is living tissue. It is also known that stem cells in adipose tissue cause an increase in skin quality. The skin in the fat-injected areas becomes more moist and shiny.
Those with dullness on their face and loss of elasticity in their skin, age-related volume loss, and dimples or asymmetries on their face or body are suitable candidates for this surgery.
Then your detailed examination is performed. The structure of your face and the elasticity of the skin are evaluated.
In order to obtain fat from the abdomen, 1-2 incisions of 0.5 cm are made in the groin. These scars are vague.
Needle-tip-size cannulas are used during the injection. The injection process leaves no scars.
The scar left in the groin area during the surgery will be permanent. Although it is more obvious at first, it will become vague within 1 year.
It is performed under sedation or general anesthesia. To perform the fat injection, it is necessary to obtain some adipose tissue by liposuction. For this procedure, fat is obtained from the abdomen with one or two 0.5 cm incisions made in the groin. The fats, which have undergone a special process, are transferred to the required areas by using needle-sized cannulas and fine needles. Although the procedure varies according to the size of the area to be injected, it usually takes 1 hour.
If you have received sedation or general anesthesia, we recommend that you stay in the hospital for 1 night after the operation. You will have little to no pain. We recipe painkillers on discharge. Sunlight protection is recommended.
Conditions such as bleeding or infection may be observed in the early period of surgery. Your scars may heal with swelling.
Fats given specifically for this surgery may melt more than expected or asymmetrically. These complaints can be treated with a second session after 6 months-1 year.
