Fat Injection

What is Fat Injection?

Fat injection is the transfer of fat cells taken from one place to another place with a needle. The location where it is taken is usually the abdomen. The given fat cells continue to live in their new location and act as a filling material there.

The success of fat injection depends on the survival of the given cells. If the given cells die, the entire filling effect disappears after a few weeks. In short, dead fat melts.

How is the process done?

There are many different techniques and tools for fat injection. Basically, fat is removed with special liposuction injectors and transferred to another injector and injected into new locations. In both stages, there is no need to make any incisions or stitches, and local anesthesia is sufficient.

What Does the Success of the Transaction Depend on?

The success of this process depends entirely on the tools and technique used. Until recent years, it was almost a rule that fats melted. However, there has been a serious progress in the last few years and now the probability of keeping the fats given has increased significantly.

For example, the inside of the needle I use to extract oils is specially prepared and gold-plated. The aim is to fix any metal burrs that may be inside the cannula and to cover the surface with the alloy that will cause the least damage to the cells, that is, gold.

There are many details such as ensuring that the removed cells do not come into contact with air, the size of the syringes into which the oils are administered, and the pressure you apply. But the most important thing is the tools and I’m sure the fat I lose without them would melt away.
