What is autologous fat grafting? What are the hazards of autologous fat grafting?

In this world where plastic surgery institutions are more developed, you can be as beautiful as you want, but do you know what autologous fat grafting is? Today, let's learn about what autologous fat grafting is and what it is used for.

The essence of autologous fat filling is the process of transplanting one's own fat cells. After extracting fat from other parts of the body, it is transplanted to the face. It is a surgical transplant process. To put it simply, it is equivalent to transplanting saplings. Transplanting saplings in different places will allow them to survive and grow again in the new place. This is why autologous fat filling can have a lasting filling effect.

1. Infection: The infected area will be red, swollen, hot and painful. In severe cases, the local skin will be flushed and purple or the needle holes will not heal and pus will flow out.

2. Skin necrosis: Mostly occurs in the liposuction area. Once skin necrosis occurs, seek medical attention as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of obvious scars.

3. Local skin unevenness: Generally, the body can adjust itself 3-6 months after surgery and most of the skin can return to smoothness.

4. Lipomas formation: Subcutaneously injected lipid particles can aggregate or stimulate host cells to proliferate into lipomas.

5. Lipid liquefaction: Too much lipid tissue is injected, or the lipid tissue naturally aggregates into clumps after injection, resulting in the failure of the injected lipid to survive, causing lipid necrosis and liquefaction.

The cost of autologous fat filling for the entire face depends on the degree of depression of your facial tissue, the local economy, and the professional level of the surgeon. There is no uniform standard, but it generally costs about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the price varies from place to place.

Fat filling has a certain survival rate, which is related to each person's fat quality and the doctor's skills. Generally, 2 to 3 fillings can basically maintain a permanent effect.
