FAT GRAFTING
FAT GRAFTING
FAT GRAFTING
Another benefit of fat harvesting is that since adipose tissues contain a high concentration of stem cells which have great regenerative properties, the fat harvested can be used for skin rejuvenation and other degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis.
Not suitable:
• Fat grafting is a process which uses one’s own fat and is therefore suitable for all
Anaesthesia:
• It is usually performed under local anaesthetics as the amount of fat harvested is small
Procedure time:
• The whole process of harvesting, processing, reinjecting can take up to a few hours
Downtime:
• There might be initial swelling at places of fat injection which would settle in a few days. Since it’s a minimally invasive procedure, there might be post procedural pain or discomfort and infection
Effect lasting:
• Typically lasts longer than conventional dermal filler injection when used for facial enhancement
