Is autologous fat filling for tear troughs permanent? How long does autologous fat filling for tear troughs last?

Tear troughs are an eye skin problem that many people have. If the tear troughs are severe, the whole person will look haggard, listless, and old. Some people like to use autologous fat to fill the tear troughs.

Autologous fat filling of tear troughs is permanent. Generally, 40% of the fat can survive when the patient undergoes autologous fat filling of tear troughs. After the transplanted fat survives stably (usually 3 months after the operation), the effect can be maintained permanently. The reason why autologous fat filling of tear troughs can maintain its effect permanently is that the transplanted fat cells can regain blood circulation through the newly established capillaries in the body. Therefore, as long as the cells are healthy after transplantation, they can permanently exist in the tear trough area and maintain the effect of autologous fat filling of tear troughs. When patients want to extend the maintenance time as much as possible when filling tear troughs with autologous fat, they also need to try to choose professional doctors with rich clinical experience and take good care of themselves.

1. Choose an experienced doctor to fill the tear trough with autologous fat to make it last longer

The effect of autologous fat filling tear grooves is mainly affected by the doctor's operation technique. Therefore, it is generally believed that autologous fat filling tear grooves can last longer if you choose an experienced doctor. The damage of fat cells extracted by a skilled autologous fat filling doctor can be controlled to be very small, and the survival rate can be as high as about 85%. However, if the doctor does not handle the fat purification thoroughly, and the fat cells are in contact with the air for a long time, and are out of the original comfortable environment, the unstable fat cells will temporarily lack blood nutrition and the survival rate will become low, which will directly affect the maintenance time and effect of autologous fat facial filling.

2. The appropriate frequency and injection volume of autologous fat filling tear troughs can be maintained longer

Filling tear troughs with autologous fat is related to the number of injections and the amount of injection. Injecting too much fat at one time will cause the injected fat to not get blood oxygen supply, thus forming nodules and calcification, which will lead to fat failure to survive, directly affecting the duration of the effect of autologous fat filling tear troughs for beauty lovers. Therefore, it is best for beauty lovers to fully communicate and discuss with the doctor and choose the number of tear trough fillings that suits them.

3. The duration of autologous fat filling of tear grooves varies from person to person.

Injecting too much fat at one time will result in the injected fat not getting blood oxygen supply, thus forming nodules and calcification, which will cause the fat to not survive, directly affecting the duration of the effect of the patient's autologous fat filling of the tear trough. Therefore, it is best for the patient to fully communicate and discuss with the doctor and choose the number of fillings that suits him or her.

4. Filling tear grooves with autologous fat may require multiple times and longer maintenance

Autologous fat filling of tear troughs generally requires multiple treatments. This is because the degree of tear trough depression is different for each patient. For mild to moderate tear trough depression, autologous fat filling of tear troughs once or twice is enough, but for more severe tear trough depression, two to three autologous fat filling treatments are required.

5. Pay attention to the care of autologous fat filling tear trough to keep it longer

01. The patient should not touch, squeeze or massage the tear trough filling surgery area forcefully, as this will affect the postoperative effect of the surgery.

02. Within one week after the operation, the fat transplantation site and the fat extraction site should be kept clean and dry, and should not be exposed to water to prevent infection.

03. Within one week after the operation, the diet should be light. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods, and do not drink alcohol or smoke, because irritating eating habits will reduce the survival rate of fat and affect the effect of filling the tear trough.

04. After the operation, the patient must pay attention to rest more and can only engage in strenuous activities several weeks after the operation to ensure that the surgical site can recover as soon as possible and the fat cells have survived stably, which will not affect the duration of the effect.

05. Prevent infection after surgery, use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, keep clean and prevent infection, so as to avoid factors that affect the effect of fat filling tear troughs.

06. You can use cosmetics two weeks after the operation, but be careful not to apply them too hard, especially on the tear groove area. It is generally not recommended for the patient to lose weight within about one year after the operation, because it will affect the effect of autologous fat filling the tear groove to a certain extent.

Some girls will develop a series of infection symptoms on their faces one week after autologous fat filling. This means that bacteria have invaded the subcutaneous tissue and the body's immune system has become sensitive. If infection occurs after autologous fat filling, it is best for those who love beauty not to use facial cleansers to wash their faces on their own, so as to avoid the ingredients of poor quality facial cleansers irritating the fragile skin, aggravating the symptoms of infection and making it difficult to recover.

Hematoma after autologous fat filling is one of the complications after surgery for many people. The symptom of hematoma is facial redness and swelling, which cannot be eliminated by itself within a few hours. Such symptoms will affect the face of the patient. If there is a serious hematoma after autologous fat filling, you should not wash your face casually, because washing your face at this time will have an adverse effect on the recovery of the subcutaneous tissue. Beauty lovers are better off doing special cleaning care under the guidance of a doctor.
