1, how often can I wash my face?
Autologous fat filling usually takes 7 days to wash your face. You can't wash your face for 7 days, and you can't let the wound get wet.
However, it also depends on the patient's own physique and the recovery after autologous fat filling. The recovery time of different constitutions is different, and the specific washing time is different.
2. Precautions for washing your face
(1) Pay attention to the gentle technique.
You can wash your face after 7 days of autologous fat filling, but be careful not to be too heavy when washing your face, because fat filling is still in the ischemic stage within one month and it is not easy to survive. Rubbing the skin hard when washing your face will make fat cells die prematurely, which will lead to the failure of autologous fat filling, so the action should be as gentle as possible when washing your face to ensure the effect of autologous fat filling.
(2) Pay special attention to cleaning at night.
When washing your face after autologous fat filling, you should pay attention to using mild facial cleanser and thoroughly clean it to prevent residual skin secretions or facial cleanser from entering skin pores and affecting the effect of autologous fat filling. Pay special attention to the dirt and sebum secretion accumulated in one day at night. If the cleaning is not thorough, it is easy to cause pore blockage, and even cause bacteria to invade the injection wound, causing skin infection and inflammation.
(3) pay attention to avoid the needle mouth.
When washing your face, you should pay attention to avoiding the eye of a needle, because some people have poor self-healing ability. Even if you can wash your face after filling with autologous fat, the ingredients in facial cleanser can easily enter from the wound site, which is also very easy to cause wound infection.
3. The danger of washing your face immediately
(1) wounds are susceptible to infection.
After the autologous fat is filled, a wound is left on the face. When washing your face, the water contains a lot of bacteria. When the face is not healed, it is easy to cause infection and even inflammation under the stimulation of bacteria.
(2) Reduce the fat survival rate
When you wash your face, you will rub the skin of your face. The action of friction and extrusion will make the filled fat compressed, but the fat just filled in is still unstable. Once the blood flow at the filling site is not smooth, plus friction, the survival rate of fat will decrease, thus affecting the effect after filling.
4, facial infection and the harm of washing your face
Some people will have symptoms of infection on their faces after autologous fat filling, indicating that there is bacterial invasion under the skin, and at this time the human immune system becomes sensitive and fragile, so it is best not to wash your face at this time, let alone use facial cleanser, so as to avoid the ingredients in facial cleanser irritating the skin and aggravating the symptoms of infection.
5, facial hematoma can't wash your face.
Many people may have hematoma after autologous fat filling, which is a common complication, mainly manifested as facial redness and swelling, which will not eliminate itself within a few hours. In this case, washing your face casually will affect subcutaneous rehabilitation, so if the patient wants to clean the skin, it is best to carry out special cleaning treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
6. Prevent the wound from oozing blood
Do a good job of autologous fat filling care, and it is best to use a tourniquet at the liposuction site after surgery to reduce the leakage of liposuction wounds and stop bleeding. If it is a body part, you can also put on good tights and take them off after a week to help the skin shrink.
