What is Fat Filling?

Fat filling is extremely easy to define. Fat filling is the injection of fat in order to achieve a fuller appearance in the face and body areas. The areas where fat will be injected can be any area of aesthetic concern. Face, breast, buttocks and many other places can be preferred for injection. The areas where fat filling can be applied are listed as follows:

  • Cheeks
  • Forehead
  • Cheek and lip line
  • Lips
  • Chin tip
  • Breast
  • Buttocks
  • Sunken areas in the legs

The fat transfer to be applied varies according to the required fullness. In this sense, personal demands are decisive.

The extracted fats may go through some processes before being injected. These can be processes such as washing and centrifugation. Processed fat is taken into an injector to be injected into the area. Fats are injected into the area without opening the section. Therefore, the surgical section scar does not occur.

Fat filling can be preferred after tissue loss caused by some diseases. In addition, the loss of collagen due to aging may cause tissue loss. Patients who have loss of fullness in their body regions, regardless of any reason, may prefer fat filling.

What are the Types of Fat Filling?

Fat filling types are shaped according to the wishes and needs of the patients. Different methods can be applied to each region. For example, while fat filling for the face is a different operation, it is different for the breast. The reason why these operations are different from each other is that the operation procedures vary as the operation regions are different.

I can only recommend dr.sarialtin and his team, his work is very good and the aftercare as well. His assistant Nagham was there for me every step of the way.

However, in principle, the operations serve the same purpose. Lip filling, which is in the category of simple operations, aims for fullness in the same way, but the amount of injected fat is different from the breast and buttocks regions.

Fat filling is recommended to be applied depending on age. After the age of 30, especially in the face area, it is seen that collagen and adipose tissue decrease. It can be applied from this age upon request and need. In addition to these, naturally, it is seen that middle-aged patients prefer it more frequently.

What Should Be Done Before Fat Filling?

After deciding on the fat filling, there are some points that should be considered before and after the operation. These positively affect the healing process after the operation. In general, the points to be considered before the transactions can be listed as follows:

  • If blood thinners are used, should be cut 10 days prior to the operation.
  • The patient's history and past illnesses should be told to the doctor.
  • Since hospitalization may be required, be prepared for this situation.

In addition to the issues listed above, important information or instructions are explained to you by the doctors before the operation. Following the instructions properly will help you feel relaxed and comfortable after the surgery.

What Should Be Considered After Fat Filling?

Fat filling is an operation that requires attention after the application. After the operation, if post-op care is taken well, the healing time is also shortened. Things to consider after fat filling can be listed as follows:

  • Paying attention to applying cold every 15 minutes per hour.
  • Taking care to apply cold every 15 minutes per hour.
  • Massaging the treated area after the 4th or 5th day
  • Avoiding extreme heat and steam application
  • Taking care to rest for the first 2 days
  • Using antibiotics for 1 week

The permanence of the fat filling operation depends on how much of the transferred fat cells can survive or not. The fact that the tissues do not necrosis during the transfer process also affects the permanence rate of the fats. The comments of those who have had fat fillings applied to their faces in our clinic show how efficient the services are both during and after the operation.

Fat Filling Prices

Fat filling prices vary according to the applied area. In addition, the amount of fat injected is also important in determining the price. Even the prices of fat fillings to the face may differ within themselves. Because the facial areas are diverse. For example, lip and eyelid fat filling will not be the same. Likewise, buttocks fat filling costs may be higher due to the amount of fat to be injected.

Disadvantages of Fat Filling

Fat filling is a highly demanded application by many people because it provides a beautiful appearance. However, this application may have some negative aspects. These can be listed as follows:

  • Need for reinjection to the area after the operation

  • Scar formation in areas where fat is taken and injected
  • Fibrous capsule formation
  • Sebaceous cysts
  • Infection
  • Microcalcification formation

Situations that may occur if care is not taken before and after the operation are listed above. They are very rare complications. It should not be forgotten that every surgical operation may have some side effects.

Advantages of Fat Filling

The comments of those who have fat fillings reveal the advantages of the operations. In addition to having an aesthetically beautiful appearance, fat filling is also applied as a treatment method for tissue loss caused by some diseases. For example, if a woman who has been treated for cancer has her breast tissue removed, may prefer fat filling.

In fat filling, a fat ratio of at least 30 percent is permanent. Fat tissue can be taken from the intended area. Even in the weakest patient, adipose tissue can be taken as a injection. This is one of the most popular advantages of the operation.

The Healing Process of Fat Filling

The care and healing process of fat filling is one of the important topics that patients are curious about. Instructions or recommendations that you should follow during the care and healing process are shared with you by your doctor. In addition, the care process will vary according to the area where you have fat filling. If you want to speed up the healing process, it will be useful to pay attention to the necessary issues before and after the operation.
