The use of the patient’s own fat in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery has been around for several years, but its effectiveness has always been questioned due to the reabsorption it presented.
Nowadays, the new techniques used by Dr. Fernández Blanco allow a proper and very precise handling of the fat, so that we can ensure that the results are exceptional.
The lipoimplant is used as antiaging, since when injected it improves depressions, corrects furrows and gives volume to the cheeks. All of this is caused by natural aging, the passing of the years, and also by diseases such as the facial lipodystrophy suffered by HIV patients, in addition to those caused by trauma and surgical sequelae.
Fat is a tissue that is easily extracted from the thighs, saddlebags or abdomen; with a very small amount we can treat the facial areas.
After being extracted, the fat goes through a purification process and is then injected into the areas to be corrected with microinjections that leave an almost imperceptible mark.
The procedure is quick and painless, it is performed on an outpatient basis and the patient can carry on with their normal activity.
Fat is a graft and its cells, called lipocytes, must take, which is normally considered to be more than 60% of the total implanted. You should always follow the specialist’s instructions to achieve an optimal postoperative period and the desired results.
Injecting your own fat into the face is an important resource for rejuvenation; it can also be performed in other areas of the body, with different results according to the individual characteristics of each patient.
Immediately after the surgery there may be swelling in the area, which will decrease over the days, and the results are excellent and long-term thanks to the new techniques, always bearing in mind the importance of being in the hands of a qualified professional.
