What is Fat Transfer/ Micro-Lipoinjection?
This is a process where fat is taken from your own body and used to smooth out the surface of your skin to create a fuller appearance. It can be used to enhance the face (wrinkles, frown lines, cheeks, lips, upper/lower eyelids) or other parts of the body like buttocks, hands and breasts.
It can also be used to correct any hemifacial deformities and touch ups after liposuction or surgery.
Where can it be used?
Fat Transfer can be used to:
- Recontour the shape of the ageing face
- Provide definition to sunken cheeks, chin, lips and lower eyes
- Fill up the face, jowls, naso-labial folds and marionette lines
- Enhance and reshape the buttocks, breasts and ageing hands
- Correct deformities and touch ups post-liposuction or surgery
Who will benefit Fat Transfer?
Fat Transfer is an excellent option for those who want to reuse their own natural body fat to enhance their features and body shape to minimize any rejection from implants. It is also especially suitable for those who would like to experience the effects of fat transfer and are prepared to undergo liposuction later as a primary procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
It is done as an outpatient procedure and will take from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the amount of fat transferred.
How many procedures does one need?
- It varies from individual to individual. It also depends on the area where the fat is to be reinjected or transferred.
- It generally requires 2 to 3 treatments over 1 year to achieve lasting results, as some of the fat reinjected may not survive the transfer.
- The fat removal, purification and reinjection process is done in a single session.
Are there any side effects?
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Pain
- Scarring
- Swelling and Bruising
How soon can I expect to see the effects?
After the procedure, if it is a body enhancement, you’ll need to wear a body garment for 6-8 weeks. You can return to work after 7 to 10 days. The final effects will be obvious after a few months.
