What is Fat Injection?

Aging is a natural process, this natural process naturally creates scars and changes on our face. The effect of aging manifests itself most clearly in the facial region, while the soft tissues on the face slide down over the bone, and the fat tissue that serves as a support under the skin loses volume.

Volume loss, wrinkles and changes caused by aging and other factors affecting this process can be treated effectively thanks to the developing technology. While interventions for all kinds of effects of aging can be performed, skin rejuvenation applications can also be performed in the facial area where the most observable effects occur.

Oil injection, which appears as a natural and effective way to rejuvenate the skin in the facial area, is the process of injecting oil into certain areas in order to provide fullness.

In the treatment of aging symptoms occurring in the facial region, the face is considered as a whole and interventions are carried out in this direction. In the application of fat injection to the face, fat injection can be performed on the cheeks, forehead, cheek-lip line, chin tip, lips and other points deemed necessary by considering the face as a whole.

The fat used for fat injection is taken from the belly, inside the legs, buttocks areas. Special liposuction injectors are used in fat injection practice, fat intake can also be performed from the waist or hip areas. The oils taken from the arms and legs of the people who have undergone liposuction procedure and the oils taken from the eye bags of the person with eyelid aesthetics can also be used for fat injection.

In What Cases Is It Applied?

Even if we moisturize our skin regularly and effectively, protect it from the sun or take various precautions, time reveals the effects of aging in an observable nature. Fat injection appears as the first step of the procedures that can be performed when the effects of aging manifest themselves in the face area in an observable manner.

We can list some of the conditions that occur in people that make the fat injection process ideal and effective as follows;

• Observation of the occurrence of deep lines on the face
• Depressions that appear on the cheeks and under the eyes
• In cases where the lines arising from the effect of aging in the facial area are too deepened, forming permanent scars and folds on the skin, the effect of the fat injection procedures applied may be minimal. In this direction, the applications performed as subcutaneous support are of great importance in facial injection procedures.

How is Fat Injection Applied to the Face?

The oil applied to the facial area is usually performed by applying general anesthesia or sedation, and in some cases only by applying local anesthesia.

In the process of applying fat injection to the facial area, firstly, the oils taken from certain parts of the body are subjected to some procedures. These processes are washing and centrifugal processes.

• After washing and centrifugal processes, oils are injected into the areas determined as a result of preliminary evaluations by transferring to a suitable injector.
• The fact that the fat cells transferred to the designated areas give permanent and effective results depends on the transfer of the fat taken to the relevant area without contact with air. The less the contact of fats with air is ensured, the less the reduction in tissue loss that may occur will be, and this will ensure that the retention period of fats will be extended.
• The probability of fat cells remaining alive varies depending on the surgical material used during the injection process, the process of removing fat from the relevant area and performing the transfer process, the nature of the operations performed on fats and their transfer. In this regard, we can say that there is a clear connection between how the fat injection procedure is applied to the facial area and the Decisiveness of the procedure.
• Fat injection applications to the face area are natural and effective methods that do not leave scars because no incision has been made in any region.

What Are the Effects of Fat Injection on the Face?

The area where fat injection application is performed most often is the facial area. Fat injections made in the facial area are carried out in order to thicken the lips, fill in deep wrinkles and reduce them as much as possible, and plump the cheekbones. We can list the effects of fat injection on the facial area as follows;

• Some of the fat injected into the facial area is absorbed by the body and the volume lost due to aging is regained.
• Fat injection provides an increase in collagen production in the body.
• Fat cells transferred by fat injection act as a kind of stem cell, providing skin rejuvenation and giving vitality to the skin.
• On average, 40% of the fats transferred by injection can maintain their permanence for 6 months.
• There may be edema on the face after the procedure and bruising in the area where the fat is removed, these effects of the fat injection process continue for an average of one week or ten days, and then the edema disappears quickly and fullness appears.
