Across the time the collagen and elastin begins to discompose under the layers of the skin, especially the face and wrinkles arise. The most common is to begin to lose subcutaneous fat, which generates a haggard, hollow, even skeletal look.
Fat grafts fail to restore and rejuvenate the skin, with the advantage that this procedure involves removing the skin, and stretch it to the risk of having an unnatural appearance. The use of proprietary materials for tissue stuffed a body part by transferring it to another is not new and has been used extensively in the treatment of many serious conditions or defects due to illness, trauma or birth defect. Although fat grafts and other types of implants are still not perfect, there's a long way to go.
The surgeons work to keep improving the aesthetic through facial fat grafting. Each time, the treatment is more reliable and convenient, because most patients have enough fat to use in facial procedures.
Fat grafting is also called fat facial rejuvenation, fat transfer, fat grafting, micro lipo shot and fat injections. To keep things simple, we will call it fat graft.
In fat grafting is the process of taking small amounts of fat from one part of the body and reimplanted in another place, where necessary. The rendered fat can be implanted in the lips, nasolabial folds, under the eyes, cheeks and other parts of the face and body. This procedure is minimally invasive and can help correct the resulting scars and acne. Among the advantages they have fat injections is that they feel soft and natural, and do not cause immune problems. The main disadvantage is reabsorbed by the body over time, although this depends on how fat is removed, and the type of fat involved.
To be a good candidate for fat grafting, you have to have good health, or have preexisting conditions and have realistic expectations of the procedure. If you believe that a graft will change your life, then the expectations are unrealistic.
To undergo a cosmetic procedure, you must be mentally and emotionally stable. The site that gets the grease must have good blood circulation and large capillaries, so that the cells are more easily nurtured with his own blood.
Most grafts requires local anesthesia. Before treatment should avoid some medications, like ibuprofen and aspirin.
Fat for replantation cannot be used as it is removed, but should be centrifuged after being removed and there just may be implanted in the patient.
The risks of this procedure is almost the same as having any other of this nature, there may be infections, or rejection of anesthesia. It may also be that there is an asymmetrical result permanent bruises. A less common injury is severe enough fat embolism, where the injected fat enters the blood leading to strokes or heart attacks.
Care must be taken forever, because depends on the skill of the surgeon to have good results because the fat may be even misplaced. So simple that sounds the theme of the grafts themselves, consider that it is unnatural process in which many factors that we have no control, therefore, has its risks.
