Will autologous fat filling on the face cause sagging and loose skin?

Facial autologous fat filling is a common cosmetic surgery that improves facial contours and skin texture by transplanting fat from other parts of the body to the face. There are different opinions and experiences on whether autologous fat filling of the face will cause sagging and loose skin.

Autologous fat filling of the face usually does not directly cause sagging and loose skin. The purpose of lipofilling is to increase the volume of facial tissue and improve facial contours and skin texture, rather than acting directly on the skin. Therefore, as long as the transplanted fat cells survive, they will integrate with the surrounding tissue and provide a long-lasting filling effect.

Some people may experience sagging facial skin after autologous fat filling. This may be due to a combination of factors. Age is a major factor that affects skin firmness. As we age, our skin gradually loses elasticity and firmness due to natural aging and loss of collagen. Therefore, in older individuals, skin firmness may be affected even with autologous fat grafting.

The skin condition before surgery will also affect the firmness of the skin after surgery. If the facial skin is already loose and sagging, fat filling may aggravate the sagging skin. Surgical technique and individual differences may also influence postoperative outcomes.

In order to reduce the risk of facial skin laxity after autologous fat filling, you can consider the following points:

Find an experienced doctor to perform the surgery. Doctors should have extensive experience and professional skills and be able to accurately judge the amount and location of filling to avoid unnecessary damage and side effects.

Assess skin condition before surgery. Before surgery, the doctor should evaluate the patient's skin condition to determine whether he or she is suitable for lipofilling surgery. For people with significant sagging skin, consider combining it with other skin tightening procedures to improve results.

Postoperative care and maintenance. After surgery, you should follow your doctor's recommendations for proper care and maintenance, including avoiding sun exposure, maintaining good eating habits, and regular skin care to promote skin health and firmness.

Reasonable expectations. Recipients should have reasonable expectations for surgical results and understand the risks and limitations of surgery. Although lipofilling can improve facial contours and skin texture, it cannot reverse severe skin laxity and sagging.

Autologous fat filling of the face usually does not directly cause sagging and loose skin. However, due to factors such as age, skin condition, surgical technique, and individual differences, some people may experience loose skin after surgery. In order to reduce risks and obtain the best results, it is recommended to find an experienced doctor for surgical evaluation, follow the doctor's recommendations for post-operative care and maintenance, and maintain reasonable expectations. At the same time, it is important to understand the risks and limitations of surgery and make decisions based on individual circumstances.
