Is it safe to fill the eye sockets with autologous fat?

Relatively safe.

Autologous fat filling of eye sockets is the choice of many people who love beauty. Autologous fat filling of eye sockets uses one's own excess fat to fill the eye sockets, and generally there will be no rejection phenomenon. It is recommended to choose a regular plastic surgery hospital and do a good job of postoperative care. Autologous fat filling of eye sockets is very safe and reliable.

Side effects of autologous fat augmentation

1. Infection: There is a possibility of infection during surgery, which usually occurs 5-7 days later. If infection occurs, seek medical attention promptly.

2. Hematoma: There is a possibility of bleeding during surgery. If the coagulation function is impaired due to damage to small blood vessels during surgery, hematoma will form. Anticoagulant drugs are prohibited before and after surgery.

3. Itching: You may experience itching after the operation, which does not occur frequently and will gradually subside.

4. Skin bruises: After suction, the local potential wound surface is larger, and too many cavities will cause blood exudation.

5. Skin necrosis: Surgery may cause local skin necrosis.

6. Fat liquefaction: Too much fat tissue is injected, or the fat tissue naturally aggregates into lumps after injection, resulting in the injected fat failing to survive, causing fat necrosis and liquefaction. If fat liquefaction occurs, you need to go to the hospital for puncture to extract the liquid or negative pressure drainage.

Advantages of autologous fat filling eye sockets

1. High fat purity: When doctors extract fat cells, there is generally no bleeding and no other impurities (damaged cells, blood, muscle fibers, muscle fascia, etc.). The pure fat rate is above 95%, so it is not easy to have nodules after injection and the effect is natural.

2. The doctor who is recognized by the beauty industry as having a very high efficiency in liposuction can extract fat within 5-15 minutes. High-purity and high-vitality fat cells are directly extracted from the body and quickly transplanted to the filling site. Clinical comparisons have shown that the less time fat is outside the body, the higher the survival rate. The cell survival rate of autologous fat filling surgery can reach more than 90%.

Postoperative care of autologous fat augmentation of eye sockets

1. Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after surgery to ensure that the surgical area is clean.

2. You should rest quietly after the operation. It is best to rest in a semi-recumbent position in bed to avoid lowering your head and aggravating the swelling of the wound. Do not do any overly intense exercise.

3. Pay special attention not to squeeze or massage the area where autologous fat is transplanted.

4. Avoid dieting after surgery and try to eat a balanced diet to ensure the size of the transplanted fat.

5. It is best to take oral antibiotics for 3-5 days after surgery to reduce the probability of postoperative infection.
