Fat transfer – things you need to know
When seeking an autologous fat transfer in Phoenix Arizona, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, it can be a daunting process to research and measure. Being a plastic surgery procedure where one’s fat cells are transferred from one part of the body to another, people want to learn more about it and weigh the pros and cons. The fat transferred in this procedure comes from the abdomen, buttocks or thighs and is then transplanted into other areas on the body which lack the figure one wants. During the procedure, all harvested fat is by preserved through special techniques before being re-injected. Thousands of people seek this surgery every year and are happy with their results. But that’s just a small overview. Here’s more to know:
1.
Anyone who is uncomfortable with facial creases, acne scars, sunken areas, or want to increase the size of their body parts (butt, breast, lips, etc.) would be considered good candidates for fat grafting surgery. Keep in mind, in order to transfer fat cells from one area to the next, the “donor” site of the body needs to have an ample amount of fat to transfer. Good health is always a condition for candidates to have and to also have healthy realistic expectations for their procedure and expected transformation.
2.
Autologous fat transfer uses no dermal fillers or implants. The fat transfer surgery procedure uses only the own patient’s fat cells. This brings down any risk of allergic reactions to other procedures and gives a more natural look. The results can even last longer, however do keep in mind that fat is fat. Diets and losing weight can cause that fat to decrease in volume.
3.
Just like any plastic surgery, there can be risks and complications involved. The most common being the swelling and bruising of the targeted areas after the procedure. Other risks can be skin necrosis and fat necrosis (Dead fat cells that can’t survive during the fat transfer procedure), scarring, infection, asymmetry, and seroma. Even still, the results vary and thousands are still healthy and satisfied with their fat grafting surgery.
