Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting
Lipofilling or Fat Grafting / Transfer is a procedure used to correct the contour deformity, augment the
areas such as breasts and buttocks and to rejuvenate skin by borrowing fat from tummy or thigh and
injecting fat at required area after processing.
What are the types of Fat grafts?
Micro fat is a kind of fat used to correct contour deformities to fill volume. Nano fat is a kind of fat which is used to improve the texture of skin and scars and rejuvenate the skin.
What happens during the procedure?
Patient will be given a medicine to fall asleep (general anesthetic)/local anesthesia and patient may also be given a medicine to relax (sedative). Fat is borrowed either from your tummy or thighs using liposuction equipment. It is then processed to produce either micro fat or nano fat.
This is then transferred using a special needle and syringe depending on the area that needs to be corrected. There are no scars due to surgery.
What are the risks?
Generally, this is a safe procedure. However, problems may occur and are temporary including:
- Infection,
- bleeding
- swelling
- bruising and pain
Fat absorption at injected site, about 15 to 20% percent is common in spite of doing overfilling. You might still need multiple sessions to get the perfect result.
How will be the recovery after procedure?
It is a daycare procedure. You will have some swelling and bruising which is normal. Most of the swelling goes down in a week, but final results can be usually seen after 6 weeks of surgery when the swelling and bruising completely recedes. You will be able to go back to normal activities from the next day. Strenuous activity like jogging, gym and sports can be resumed after 3 weeks.
