What is facial fat grafting? What are the indications for facial fat grafting?

Many people are not satisfied with their facial contours. In order to improve facial depressions, facial fat filling is the most popular and beloved plastic surgery. Facial fat filling can increase the overall three-dimensional sense of the face.

Facial fat grafting is to extract excess fat from the abdomen or thighs, and then transplant it to the required area after processing. People with sunken temples or upper eyelids or deep cheeks look very old and easily give people a fierce impression. Facial fat grafting can achieve good results. Some fat is extracted from the abdomen or inner thighs where there is a lot of fat accumulation, and then the extracted fat is separated by a centrifuge to extract pure fat, and then injected into the required part of the face. Anesthesia uses painless sleeping anesthesia, so the whole operation will not feel painful. After the first facial fat grafting operation, the transplantation can be repeated 2 to 3 times depending on the absorption of fat. After injecting a sufficient amount, the transplanted fat cells will not be absorbed again and will survive permanently. The operation can be performed with local anesthesia or general anesthesia, and generally no hospitalization is required. The swelling will subside 1 to 2 weeks after the operation, and you can work and live normally.

The wound is prone to infection. After autologous fat filling, there will be a wound on the face. The water used for washing the face contains a large number of bacteria. If you wash your face before the wound has healed, it is easy to cause infection or even inflammation under the stimulation of bacteria. Reduce the survival rate of fat. When washing your face, the facial skin will be rubbed. The friction and squeezing action will cause the filled fat to be under pressure. The fat that has just been filled is not stable. Once the blood flow to the filled part is not smooth, coupled with the friction, the survival rate of fat will be reduced, affecting the effect after filling.

Some people will have symptoms of infection on their faces after autologous fat filling, which means that bacteria have invaded the subcutaneous tissue and the human immune system becomes sensitive and fragile at this time. Therefore, it is best not to wash your face at this time, let alone use facial cleanser to wash your face, so as to prevent the ingredients in the facial cleanser from irritating the skin and aggravating the symptoms of infection.
