What are the disadvantages of facial fat filling? Female friends are more afraid of the erosion of time. Therefore, many women will find themselves obviously younger after fat filling, and their faces filled with autologous fat glue can last for a long time. What are the disadvantages of sharing facial fat filling below?

What are the disadvantages of facial fat filling? 1 What is a face filled with autologous fat?

Some people also call it autologous fat facial filling. In fact, it is to extract the fat from your inner thigh or waist and abdomen, and then physically treat and purify the fat. Finally, inject high concentration of fat cells into the sunken part of the face to improve the sunken, aging and gaunt appearance of the face, adjust the contour curve to make it smooth, and create a rounded and childlike feeling.

Autologous fat fills the face, and the most common filling parts are forehead, temple, eyebrow arch, lacrimal groove, mental groove, cheek and chin.

1893, German surgeon Franz Neuber discovered the therapeutic potential of fat from his experience in treating severely disfigured soldiers in World War I, and put forward the idea of filling soft tissue defects with multiple pieces of autologous fat (non-granular fat) for the first time. He cut a small piece of fat from the patient's upper arm to fill the depression in his cheek, and achieved satisfactory results. This can be said to be the first fat transplant operation in the world.

Today, fat transplantation technology has experienced the precipitation and development of 120 years. Autologous fat comes from the patient and belongs to the patient's own tissue, and there is no allergic rejection. Autologous fat has always been considered as one of the ideal tissue filling materials and is known as "soft gold for human body".

Note that autologous fat comes from the patient himself and belongs to the patient's own tissue, and there is no allergic rejection, which is one of the safety guarantees for facial surgery with autologous fat filling.

Is it risky to fill the face with autologous fat?

Put the conclusion first, it's risky!

Although it is a minor operation to fill the face with autologous fat, it is also an operation no matter how small it is, and the operation is bound to be risky. To put it bluntly, people walking on the road may be sprained by pits on the ground and injured by high-altitude objects, so the operation has certain risks.

Common complications of autologous fat filling surgery include: abrasion, hematoma, infection and so on. May occur in the early postoperative period; Fat liquefaction and local induration may occur within 1-3 months after operation. Fat embolism is extremely rare, but once it happens, it may lead to serious consequences.

1, skin abrasion

It is usually caused by capillary rupture and blood exudation. Generally, no special treatment is needed, and it will subside on its own after 2-3 weeks. Usually, if you accidentally touch or knock, the injured part will be bruised. Don't be too nervous.

2.hematoma

In fact, any surgical operation may have hematoma, and plastic surgery is no exception. But from the clinical point of view, plastic surgery generally does not appear serious hematoma. If the postoperative hematoma is serious, you need to go back to the hospital as soon as possible and let the doctor handle it for you.

3. Influence

Like hematoma, infection is one of the possible complications in all surgical operations. Strictly abide by the standard of aseptic operation, the probability of postoperative infection is very low, but no matter what the doctor does and how well he does, the risk of infection can not be completely eliminated. In a sense, infection is one of the uncontrollable factors of surgical risk complications.

Autologous fat filling, excluding the aseptic standard of operating room and surgical instruments, may be related to the existing lesions and infection sources at the filling site, such as acne and skin diseases. This is also an important reason why we insist on postponing surgery for patients with facial acne and acne.

4, fat liquefaction, local induration

We think this is the most important complication to be considered in autologous fat filling surgery. If too many fat cells are injected locally at one time, the injected fat cells will naturally aggregate into blocks, resulting in that some injected fat cells cannot survive, and the fat cells that cannot survive will liquefy or form induration.

Although this situation rarely happens in facial surgery with autologous fat filling (after all, the filling dose is really small), we still have to remind everyone not to inject too much fat at one time, but to inject less, in case the postoperative effect is not ideal, you can also do secondary filling. We have filled our face with autologous fat for so many years, and basically achieved satisfactory results once. Only a few patients with excessive emaciation and depression need to consider secondary tooth filling.

Surgery is risky, so choosing a doctor is very important. A skilled and experienced professional doctor has the ability to reduce the risk of surgery for you. Therefore, if you are interested in facial surgery with autologous fat filling, we suggest that you do more homework on surgical safety, and choose a professional plastic surgeon with exquisite skills and rich experience and a medical team with excellent anesthesia skills, which can effectively provide you with safety protection.

What are the disadvantages of facial fat filling? 2. Women's facial maintenance methods

1, wrinkles

Lazy: An anti-ultraviolet day cream can not only protect the skin, but also provide sufficient moisture. If you want a better effect, you may wish to match it with a bottle of antioxidant essence. Because high concentrations of antioxidants can remain in the skin for about a day, it is also good for lazy people to use them every other day.

Lazy: You don't need to use night cream every day. When watching TV at night, applying pea-sized vitamin A cream will help prevent and improve wrinkles. At first, you only need to apply it once or twice a week. After one to two weeks, just apply it four times a week, and you can see the effect after two or three months.

Laziest: Eating 500 mg of vitamin C every day has a certain anti-aging effect, and oral collagen is also helpful. It is best to choose a compound formula containing antioxidants.

2. Eye lines

Lazy: Don't worry about eye cream. The biggest problem with eyes is that the skin is thin and easy to get old. Choose an antioxidant cream that is not too greasy or too fragrant. When you wipe your face, use it around your eyes for three months, and you will see a certain effect.

Lazy: Is Qian Zhou's skin peeling off? Remedy: Dipping cotton pieces in warm milk for two or three minutes will make eye lines look less obvious.

Laziest: Most fine lines around the eyes are caused by lack of water. I really can't stand it. Just sleep, and the skin can repair itself.

dry

Lazy: Use a day cream with sunscreen function during the day, and it is not a big problem to be too lazy to apply milk and cream at hot and humid nights. The humidifier can be turned on in a dry environment.

Lazier: too lazy to apply cream? Find a cleanser suitable for dry/extremely dry skin. They don't wash off the natural sebum membrane of the skin, which helps to prevent water loss.

Laziest: Eat 100 mg flaxseed oil capsules or fish oil every day to help prevent dryness.

4. Redness and acne

Lazy: Do you have acne? Apply some glue directly to the acne area, once a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and it will take effect for one to two weeks. There is no need for more, otherwise it may cause irritation.

Lazier: The anti-inflammatory effect is fast and good, and the sudden big red envelope can be calmed down in about four or five days. Hydrocortisone in Udolol has a rapid anti-inflammatory effect. Because it belongs to hormones, it can only be used temporarily and urgently, which meets the needs of lazy people.

What are the disadvantages of facial fat filling? How long does it take for eyes to recover from fat filling?

If you encounter blood vessels during injection, and there is some slight bleeding, there may be some bruising or yellowing, which usually takes about two weeks to recover. But with autologous fat filling, fat will have a certain absorption rate.

In general, it takes 1-3 months to know how much fat survives after this fat filling and how much fat will be absorbed by the body. Only in this way can we see the final effect. If the effect is good, fat filling may not be necessary. If you feel that the effect is still not good, you may need to fill with fat again.

Clinically proved that the filled fat has succeeded in fat. The remaining fat has been fixed in the operating area and has become an organic part of the operating area. So ten years later, these fats still exist when they are alive, but only change with the change of body fat and thin. However, the existence of this kind of filled fat does not mean that the appearance of the face has not changed.

Because with the growth of age, the aging of the face or the aging of the affected area, there will be a whole structure hanging on it, and a tissue will be displaced, and the appearance may change. This change may more or less affect the fat of the original fat transplantation, but this effect is not great, but it is not contradictory to the sign of continuous facial aging.

After filling the face with autologous fat, you can get enough blood supply in a new place and live forever to maintain its certain volume. In this process, a part of adipose tissue without blood supply will be absorbed. Generally speaking, 20% to 30% of transplanted fat will be absorbed, and its absorption rate varies with different parts, ranging from 10% to 50%.

1, improve facial contour

Mainly for young beauty seekers, autologous fat can be used to fill the forehead, eyebrows, chin, nose bridge and chin, so as to achieve more harmonious facial features.

2. Improve skin texture

The reason of facial aging is not only skin relaxation and wrinkles, but also the decrease of subcutaneous tissue. Autologous fat filling can supplement the shortage of soft tissue capacity and improve skin texture, thus achieving the effect of facial rejuvenation.

3. Improve facial asymmetry.

Mainly congenital asymmetry, acquired hemifacial atrophy, or facial depression formed after trauma and burn; Now more and more people are doing some artificial facial depressions such as double eyelids, eye bags or liposuction.
