Understanding autologous fat
Autologous fat is a type of fat that is taken from the patient’s body, usually from the abdomen, hips, or thighs, and then injected into the face. This fat is rich in stem cells, which have the ability to regenerate and rejuvenate the skin. The use of autologous fat for facial rejuvenation has been around for several decades and has proven to be a safe and effective method for restoring youthfulness and beauty to the face. The procedure for harvesting autologous fat is relatively simple and involves the use of a thin needle or cannula to extract the fat from the donor site. The fat is then processed and purified before being reinjected into the face. The advantages of using autologous fat for facial rejuvenation include the fact that it is a natural and safe substance with no risk of allergic reactions, and that it provides long-lasting and natural-looking results.
Procedure for facial rejuvenation with autologous fat
Fat removal:
The surgeon removes fat from an area of the body that has sufficient fat reserves, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs. This is done using gentle liposuction.
Fat preparation:
The removed fat is cleaned and centrifuged to obtain pure fat cells. Excess fluids and damaged cells are removed during this process.
Injection of the fat:
The processed fat cells are injected in small amounts using fine cannulas into the desired areas of the face. The surgeon strategically places the fat to compensate for volume loss and smooth out wrinkles.
