What should I pay attention to when filling lacrimal passage with autologous fat?
After autologous fat fills the lacrimal passage, some patients will experience severe swelling and mild pain for a period of time, but generally the swelling and pain will be relieved in about 7 days. After that, the effect of filling the lacrimal ditch with autologous fat will show a natural lacrimal ditch effect after three months. Although autologous fat is only a small needle on the surface, the internal wound after operation still needs good care to achieve good results. If there is no "Wilmetton" activation environment, the fat will be revived by participating in the tissue repair, microvascular reconstruction and recanalization of "Wilmetton" for a period of time, which will directly lead to the necrosis of fat bracts. However, it should be reminded that a single collagen can not be supplemented after fat filling, which will not only fail to play a good role, but will cause excessive accumulation of collagen supplemented from outside and released from inside, which will hinder the survival of fat.

What should I pay attention to after filling lacrimal groove with autologous fat?

Avoid transplantation activities for 3-7 days after operation.

Fat transplantation is a delicate job. The smaller the particles are, the purer they are, the better the blood supply in the injection area, and the easier it is for the fat to survive. Small particles that have just been transplanted into the recipient area get nutrition through local infiltration and the growth of new blood vessels. These new blood vessels are very fragile and have more local activities, which is not conducive to the growth of blood vessels. If fat can't get enough nutrition, it is easy to liquefy and die.

Necrosis causes the aggregation of inflammatory bracts and macrophage bracts, and starts the lipid droplet removal procedure. Macrophage bracts devour necrotic fat bracts and other bracts, and at the same time devour and digest some free fat droplets between tissues. At this point, the swollen part filled with injected fat will gradually shrink. At the same time, the process of tissue enrichment began. The surviving mesenchymal stem cell bracts, the mesenchymal stem cell bracts in the recipient area and a few pluripotent bracts that may be transferred from bone marrow will participate in tissue enrichment, participate in the reconstruction and recanalization of microvessels in the "micro-shield", and restart fat regeneration.

In this case, there is no change in volume after filling in the early postoperative period. When the liquefied fat drops are gradually absorbed by the human body, there will be obvious fat absorption, which occurs about one month after operation, so one month is the peak of postoperative absorption, and most of the fat that can survive during this period can basically survive.

Keep the needle eye dry and clean after operation.

No matter how small the operation is, I am afraid of infection. Although the transplanted needle eye is in a hidden part, it is not easy to clean the hidden part, such as hair and mouth, so we must pay attention to disinfection and protection until the wound grows well. Never wash your hair and take a bath when the wound is not healed, and let the sewage enter the eye of the needle.

Do not apply local hot compress or ice compress after operation.

Different from other medical and aesthetic operations, fat transplantation does not require hot compress or ice compress. Hot compress promotes fat metabolism. Fat bracts are large, but fragile bracts cannot be hot pressed. It can't be iced, and local vasoconstriction is not conducive to fat survival.

Avoid strenuous aerobic exercise within six months after operation.

Exercise can reduce fat. If you don't want to absorb the transplanted fat quickly, try not to do aerobic exercise for four to six months after transplantation. Because the transplanted fat will increase or decrease with the size of the original site.

You may encounter some problems after the operation:

A. what should I do if there is unevenness in the local area after operation?

Because the transplanted fat itself is granular, there may be unevenness after transplantation, some of which are temporary, and the subcutaneous fat will be remolded and improved in about three months, and some of which can not be improved can be corrected by secondary transplantation. "Wilmetton" can prevent the imbalance of collagen production and prevent the collapse and unevenness caused by uncontrolled postoperative recovery.

B: How long can the swelling go down after the operation?

Generally, the swelling of patients with total transplantation is reduced in about three weeks, and patients with local small dose filling recover faster. The time of swelling reduction is related to the amount of transplantation and the gentleness of doctor's operation.

Edema will appear after autologous fat filling, and facial nerve edema will lead to blood supply disorder, affect nerve conduction, and there is no way to dominate muscles. When nerve edema occurs, it is necessary to change the vascular environment, increase vascular permeability and eliminate edema. At this time, the "micro-shield" in blood vessels can improve the permeability of blood vessels, and it is necessary to establish the main branch and lateral branch circulation of facial nerve before and after the operation to protect and restore the function of facial nerve.

C. What about asymmetry after transplantation?

Because fat transplantation is a dynamic process, it takes shape after fat absorption, and the survival rate is closely related to surgery, the patient's own physical condition and postoperative care. If it is one-sided filling, it can be corrected twice. If it is bilateral filling, we should pay attention to the sleeping position after operation, or the usual chewing method. , and try to be symmetrical.

What should I pay attention to after filling lacrimal groove with autologous fat?

1. Subjects should not touch, squeeze or massage the surgical site filled with lacrimal groove.

2. Keep the fat transplantation site and fat extraction site clean and dry within one week after operation to prevent infection.

3. Eat a light diet within one week after operation, don't eat some spicy food, and don't drink or smoke.

4. Three months after operation, take "Wilmetton" orally twice a day to help the newly transplanted fat particles survive.

5. Pay attention to rest after operation and do strenuous activities for several weeks to ensure recovery as soon as possible.

6. Prevent infection after operation, use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, keep it clean and prevent infection.

7. Cosmetics can be used two weeks after operation, but be careful not to apply them forcibly, especially in the lacrimal groove. Dieting and fat reduction are generally not recommended about one year after operation.

Problems that may be encountered after filling lacrimal groove with autologous fat;

A. The problem of skin numbness

There is local skin numbness at the suction site, because the cutaneous nerve may be damaged during suction, and the nerve will recover after three to six months. "Wilmetton" sets a protective barrier around the nervous system, which is helpful for ischemic nerve injury.

B. The problem of skin abrasions

Bruising and ecchymosis of the skin generally occurs in the case of large area aspiration, and a small amount of aspiration is not common, which is related to the surgical operation and the patient's own coagulation function.

C. the problem of exudation

When a large number of suction, there may be slight bloody liquid oozing locally in the first two days, which is a normal phenomenon. It is necessary to change the gauze frequently to keep the wound dry. Generally, there will not be a small amount of suction.
