Fat injections are for people who want to improve the appearance of their body by adding volume to certain areas.
This technique is particularly suitable for patients who have lost volume due to aging or who have body asymmetries.
The aim of fat injections is to add volume to certain areas of the body, such as the breasts, hands, face and lips. This cosmetic surgery technique uses your own adipose tissue to reshape and contour your body in a natural, long-lasting way. Results are visible immediately and can last for years, provided you maintain a stable weight and a balanced diet.
What you need to know about the injection.
Fat injection is a simple, minimally invasive procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. Dr.Guberman begins by harvesting fat with a fine cannula, usually from areas where there is excess fat, such as the thighs, hips or stomach. The fat is then purified to remove impurities and damaged fat cells.
Once purified, the fat is injected into the target areas using a syringe or fine cannula. Dr.Guberman injects the fat in different layers, to achieve an even, natural result. Once the fat has been injected, Dr.Guberman can shape the treated area to achieve the desired shape and volume.
The results of fat injections are often highly satisfactory and long-lasting. Injected fat is living tissue that can grow and integrate with surrounding tissues, resulting in natural, long-lasting results. However, it is important to note that results can vary depending on the quantity of fat injected, the technique used and the quality of the fat harvested. Sometimes a second procedure is required to achieve optimal results.
Recovery
Recovery after an aesthetic fat injection procedure will depend on the area treated and the amount of fat injected. In general, patients can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort for the first few days following the procedure. Recovery time also varies according to the patient’s general state of health and activity level. Patients may be able to resume normal daily activities within a few days, but it is recommended to limit more strenuous physical activity for several weeks.
It is important to follow Dr. Guberman’s instructions for optimal recovery. Patients will need to take steps to avoid any pressure or tension on the treated area for the first few weeks after surgery, and to protect the area from infection. The final results of fat injection may take several months to become fully apparent, but most patients are satisfied with the results and appreciate the lasting benefits of this method of cosmetic surgery.
