Autologous fat grafting involves extracting fat from areas like the abdomen or waist, purifying and processing the subcutaneous fat cells to obtain fat particles, which are then injected into sunken areas for cosmetic enhancement. The results appear natural and carry no risk of rejection.
Where can autologous fat be used for filling?
1. Facial Filling
Autologous fat can enhance the cheekbones, forehead, chin, and nose bridge, creating more defined and harmonious facial features. It can also fill sunken areas, soften nasolabial folds or fine lines, reverse facial aging, improve skin texture, and restore a more youthful appearance.
It can correct congenital facial asymmetry, facial atrophy, or depressions caused by burns or trauma. Using one's own fat offers advantages over any implant material: it is non-toxic, causes no rejection or immune response, and does not alter the endocrine environment.
The procedure is relatively straightforward, leaving virtually no scars post-surgery for a natural appearance. It offers a safe, rapid recovery while redistributing excess body fat to sunken areas—achieving both body contouring and facial enhancement. The results appear entirely natural, with no visible signs of cosmetic intervention.
2. Forehead and Temple Augmentation
For flat foreheads caused by congenital or acquired factors, autologous fat grafting can augment the temporal region and glabella, creating a fuller facial appearance.Insufficient subcutaneous fat in the temples can create an unbalanced facial contour and give a harsh impression. Autologous fat grafting restores fullness to the temples, softening the facial contours.When making expressions or smiling, a slight bulge appears beneath the eyes—this is the apple muscle. Fat grafting can create a rounder, more natural facial contour. Important Note Autologous fat has a relatively low survival rate, requiring multiple liposuction procedures. This process may cause skin trauma during treatment.Post-liposuction wounds must not come into contact with water before sutures are removed, as this risks bacterial infection. Prioritize rest post-surgery and avoid spicy or irritating foods, which can stimulate muscle tissue and skin, causing nervous system overstimulation. Gentle massage of the treated areas promotes even skin texture.
