What are the advantages and disadvantages of autologous fat grafting?

Autologous fat filling is a very popular plastic surgery project. Autologous fat filling can fill many places. The plastic surgery effect is very natural, and the feel and appearance are very real, which is deeply loved by everyone.

1. The survival rate of autologous fat varies.

You know, the quality of fat varies from person to person.

If the density and viscosity of fat are just right, the survival rate of fat is high. If there are too many oils and impurities in the fat, the survival rate of fat is poor. People who are thin have less fat in their bodies. If the purity of fat is not high, their fat survival rate is low.

2. Your skin will get better after autologous fat filling

After fat is extracted, there is a culture process to extract stem cells from the blood vessel walls and fibrous tissues around the fat. During the culture process, some stem cells will be precipitated in the extract. When these fat stem cells are injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the face, they will stimulate the proliferation of some local subcutaneous fat cells. On the surface, the facial skin will look more rosy and smooth. In fact, the application of autologous fat is very early. As early as 1989, free adipose tissue began to be used in clinical practice, and it has continued to develop since then. At present, it is mostly used for facial filling, breast augmentation and other projects. Generally, the extracted fat comes from the lower abdomen, buttocks, outer thighs, lower back and outer thighs where subcutaneous fat is easy to accumulate. The activity of lipase in these parts is higher than that in other parts. Among them, facial autologous fat filling can improve many problems.

3. Improve facial contours

It is mainly aimed at young people who are seeking beauty. Autologous fat can be used to fill the forehead, eyebrows, apple muscles, nose bridge and chin to achieve a more coordinated facial features and face.

4. Improve skin texture

The causes of facial aging, in addition to sagging skin and wrinkles, the reduction in subcutaneous tissue volume is also a major cause. Autologous fat filling can supplement the insufficient soft tissue volume, improve skin texture, and thus achieve a facial rejuvenation effect.

5. Improve facial asymmetry

The main causes are congenital developmental asymmetry, acquired hemifacial atrophy, or facial depressions caused by trauma or burns. Nowadays, most facial asymmetries are artificially caused by cosmetic surgeries such as double eyelids, eye bags or liposuction.

The advantage of autologous fat filling is that after filling, there will generally be no serious rejection! However, if hyaluronic acid filling or other prosthesis filling is performed, rejection reaction may occur. Autologous fat filling requires a relatively high level of technical skills from the doctor, so girls must choose to have the filling operation in a regular plastic surgery hospital. So, if the doctor's skills are not good, what problems will arise with autologous fat filling? It is very likely that after fat filling, the skin will be in an uneven state, and during liposuction, there may also be more serious problems, such as skin necrosis and so on.

advantage

1. Autologous fat is taken from one's own body, which is non-toxic and harmless because it is the body's own tissue. It also eliminates the possibility of rejection, immune response, contracture and deformation, and other adverse reactions, making it easier to transplant.

2. The source of the material is fat particles from stem cells. The collected stem cells have regenerative and skin rejuvenation effects. The shape is very natural and looks like they were born naturally. No one will know that this was achieved through surgery. The price will be more affordable than prostheses.

3. Autologous fat filling is done through minimally invasive technology, non-surgical, no surgery, no scars, no foreign matter, and no pain.

4. For people with more local fat accumulation, the fat extraction site can be selected. While doing facial modification, it can also help lose weight and shape perfect body curves.

shortcoming

1. Autologous fat is not without risk. Even if we exclude objective factors such as individual uncontrollable factors, the principle itself still has certain defects, especially the absorption rate and survival rate of autologous fat cells.

2. The survival rate of simple autologous fat transplantation is about 30% to 60%. After entering the body, a large amount of fat accumulation will cause fat necrosis, dissolution, and absorption due to insufficient blood supply, which is very likely to cause infection and cause sequelae such as fibrosis or calcification, fat necrosis, etc.

3. Low absorption rate of fat cells. Currently, the absorption rate of autologous fat surgery is usually only 30% to 70%. The effect of the surgery depends heavily on the doctor's personal skills and experience.

Autologous fat transplantation can shape a sexy body and a plump and childlike face. I believe many people like it, and many of them use fat to fill their faces. But there are too many women. In the pursuit of a full face, they overdo it and accidentally swell up into a "steamed bun face", such as plumping up the apple muscles, and wanting to droop to the corners of the mouth. Another example is filling the forehead, and the forehead is directly comparable to the birthday star. After the operation, it is found that the comedy effect is more than the beauty effect. So are all fat transplants unnatural? NO~NO~NO! That's because you didn't recognize these pitfalls on the road of fat filling!!

1. To make your face fuller, you can inject more fat

"I'm afraid that it will be absorbed too much and too quickly after the operation, so I'd better fill more at one time!" How many people have this idea? Please raise your hands! Let me tell you clearly that this is wrong! Injecting too much fat at one time during fat transplantation will cause the injected fat to not get enough blood oxygen, thus forming nodules and calcification. This will cause the fat to not survive. And filling too much will result in a "goose head", "birthday star forehead", "plastic surgery monster"... The picture is too beautiful, I don't want to see it any more! Don't do this.

2. Apply hot compress after surgery to recover faster

Unlike other plastic surgery, there is no need to apply heat or ice after fat transplantation. Heat promotes fat metabolism, and fat cells are large. However, they are very fragile cells, so they cannot be applied with heat or ice, because local vasoconstriction is not conducive to the survival of fat.

3. After autologous fat grafting, your face will become bigger

After fat filling, not only will it not get bigger, but it will appear smaller. This is because after filling the sunken or flat areas with fat, the facial contour becomes fuller and three-dimensional, which not only modifies the face shape but also makes the skin fuller, more delicate and elastic. So visually it looks more delicate and exquisite. Fat filling only modifies the imperfect contour lines to be more rounded, and it does not cause fat accumulation.

4. The area after liposuction will be uneven

This mainly depends on the doctor's skills. A good doctor will not have this problem. Since the transplanted fat itself is granular, there may be unevenness after transplantation. But it is temporary. The subcutaneous fat will be reshaped and improved in about three months.

5. Autologous fat grafting is 100% successful

Usually, there are certain risks when we have intravenous drips. Moreover, autologous fat transplantation is a highly technical operation, which certainly has certain risks. How to avoid such problems? The only thing we can do is to find a professional doctor and a trustworthy regular hospital for the operation.

Autologous fat filling is mainly to extract an appropriate amount of fat from other parts of the body where there is more fat accumulation, and then fill it into the breast area after purification, so as to make the breast fuller. The same is true for the face! Because it is taken from the patient's own fat, there is usually no rejection, and after filling, the effect is also very good!
