Facial fat grafting
Facial fat grafting cases
The procedure
The surgeon will remove the fat from an preselected area of the patient’s body. Thin cannulas are used for the fat removal, these are inserted through small incisions and suck out the fat. The extracted fat is treated to ensure that its application is as successful and long-lasting as possible. The fat is then inserted again through small insertions using cannulas. These insertions will not be noticeable after the procedure. The treated fat will add volume to the skin, it will fill wrinkles and will deliver a general effect of rejuvenation.
Post procedure care
The facial fat grafting procedure can result in the appearance of some bruising around the area that the fat is removed from. It is also completely normal for the treated area to be slightly swollen, which will soon go down after a short time.
