Fat Injection

Fat injection or its application as a filler has a wide range of applications in cosmetic surgery and is a technique that is growing in popularity day by day. Fat is one of the best tolerated fillers for us plastic surgeons, so it has a wide range of applications. It is an effective filler used for rejuvenation of the hands and face. The injected fat cells continue to live in the new place and act as a filler. If the injected fat cells die, the filling effect disappears.

Therefore, the technique and instruments to be applied in fat removal are very important. There are many techniques, the procedure that causes the least damage to the fat cells should be applied. The most commonly used area is the face. With aging, the amount of fat on the face decreases and sagging occurs. Fat injection replaces the decreased fat in the face and provides a younger, fuller, fresh and aesthetic appearance of the face. Volume losses or weaknesses can also be seen in young people due to the soft tissue and bone structure of the face. In these cases, fat injection can be used as an alternative to prosthesis or when prosthesis cannot be used.

When fat injection is applied to areas with reduced tissue volume, it provides safe, long-lasting and natural-looking results. The fat to be injected is usually taken from a part of the body and after a special process, it is injected into the areas to be corrected with fat cannulas. This procedure may require several repetitions to achieve the desired result. Since it is your own tissue, there is no reaction or rejection.
