Fat Injection

The deformed appearance in the under-eye and cheek areas is removed, and the appearance of deep wrinkles is reduced.

Fat Injection

Various deformations can occur on the skin with advancing age. As a result of the decrease in subcutaneous fat tissue and the loss of elasticity in the skin, sagging and wrinkles may occur. Various surgeries can be performed to eliminate this sagging and wrinkling, which many patients find esthetically disturbing. Fat injection is often preferred in these surgeries because it can be applied to the entire face and provides a natural and effective result.

In fat injections, the fat taken from other parts of the body is injected into the needed areas of the patient's face after it has undergone some processes beforehand. This procedure eliminates the sunken appearance, especially in the area of the eyes and cheeks, and reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles. Thanks to the fats injected into the area, collagen production in the skin increases. The fat cells injected into the area act like stem cells and enable rejuvenation and revitalization of the skin.

How is the fat injection performed?

Before the surgery, Dr. Ahmet Dilber performs a drawing and planning on the patient's face, which allows the fat cells to be taken from the body to determine which areas of the face will be injected. After the completion of the necessary medical tests, the patient is ready for surgery. The fat injection application lasts 30-60 minutes on average and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The specialist determines the type of anesthesia to be used.

During the procedure, the fats taken from the areas are washed and centrifuged before being injected into the face. After the fat injection, which is very pleasant and fast, the patient can rest in his/her room.

Day 1: The patient, whose final examinations are completed after fat injection, can go home after a few hours. He/she can go back to work the next day. The sleeping position should not be prone; supine and side positions are preferable.

Day 5: The patient who lives in another city or abroad can return home after follow-up examinations are completed by Dr. Ahmet Dilber on the 5th day after fat injection.

Day 7: The duration of oedema and swelling going down after facial fat injection is about 1 week. It is recommended to start exercising after 1 week.

Month 1: Regular application of recommended creams and, if recommended, facial massages after the patient’s return home are very important for the healing process. Monthly follow-ups with patients continue either face-to-face or via WhatsApp.

The durability of facial fat injection can be prolonged or shortened by the successful performance of the surgery, the performing physician, and the technique used. During fat injections, maintaining the vitality of the injected fat cells and protecting them from contact with air are important for their permanence. Therefore, choosing your doctor is one of the most important factors determining your satisfaction with fat injections. After the procedure, 40% of fat cells can maintain vitality for 6 months. A second procedure can increase the permanence of the fat injection after the first absorption if your doctor deems it necessary.
