One of the most interesting developments in aesthetic surgery in recent years is undoubtedly fat injections. Although it was previously thought that fat injections were only for filling purposes, studies have shown that adipose tissue is one of the richest sources of adult stem cells in the body. These stem cells turn into the missing cell type where they are given and carry out repair activities. When given to the face, they synthesize collagen and rejuvenate the skin.
Fat transfer can be used in breasts, buttocks and leg aesthetics, anywhere in the body where there is a lack of tissue. It can also be applied to reduce hair loss, non-healing wounds and radiotherapized skin. Fat injection can be performed on any patient who is past middle age and has a general state of wear and tear on the face.
Fat injection is performed with special thin cannulas without scars or stitches. It is not a painful procedure, it is performed under anesthesia, swelling and bruises disturb the patient more, the patient can go home the same day.
Previously, it was thought that all the fat was lost. However, when the fat is taken with the right techniques, properly prepared and applied to the face with the right method, the permanence rate is very high. The rate of loss in the lips is high. It can be said that the restorative effects of fat injection are permanent.
