Fat injection is the process of giving the fat cells taken from the patient's body to another region with the help of an injection. This procedure can be used not only on the face but also on other parts of the body. Injected fat cells maintain their life in the area where they are placed, and therefore they act as fillers.

For What Purposes Can Fat Injection Be Used?

The fat injection method can be used for many procedures in the face area. Fat injection, which is a preferred procedure in patients aged 30 and over, is applied for purposes such as filling soft-tissue deficiencies in the face area, eliminating facial asymmetries, and plumping the cheeks and lips. It can also be used in breast augmentation and BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) procedures.

With the fat injection, the dull and dry appearance of the skin is removed and a more vital and youthful effect is obtained. This method is a very good option for mature skin that has lost its moisture and is worn out. Fat injection is also successfully used in the treatment of wrinkles, dark circles around the under-eyes, and in the treatment of persistent acne scars. In recent years, the fat injection method has been used as an additional treatment to improve skin quality after radiotherapy procedures.

How Is It Done?

Fats are usually taken from areas that hold more fat, such as the abdomen, waist, and hips, with special liposuction injectors. The upper arm and leg are also areas that can be used for fat removal.

Local anesthesia is generally preferred if the fat injection is applied alone but if it is performed as a part of another surgical procedure; it can be applied under general anesthesia. The fat cells used are purified and made suitable for the area to be transferred and applied with the help of an injector. No surgical incision is made during the procedure and therefore no surgical scar is formed.

The biggest advantages of this procedure are that since the patient's own fat cells are used, it eliminates the risks of an allergic reaction or the body's rejection of the fat tissues, and it does not leave a scar. Since healthy fat cells will continue to live in the area where they are placed, fat injection is an effective and permanent procedure for life.
