Lipofilling - DrFarahSite

Lipofilling or Liposculpture can be used for many depressions which can be natural or post-traumatic.
People who use fat injections may be of any age. The best candidates for fat injections are well educated about the procedure and fully able to comply with after care instructions. Repeated treatments may be necessary — good candidates are prepared for multiple sessions in order to achieve their desired results. In order to be a candidate for fat injections, patients must have excess fat in another part of the body from which to harvest the fat injection.
Indications

• The filling and smoothing of certain wrinkles, especially of the face.
  

• Restoration of the ‘fullness’ of a gaunt face or one showing the first signs of aging.
  

• Restoration of volume and shape to the face : especially in the case of a face emaciated by aging.
  

• In complement to certain neck- and face-lifts to give a more balanced result.
  

• Filling of a depressed zone resulting from injury
  

• Correction of irregularities following an unsatisfactory liposuction procedure.
  

The Procedure
Fat cells are removed from the buttocks, stomach, or thighs with a syringe or cannula (a thin hollow tube) that is connected to a vacuum device.
After the fat cells are suctioned, they are processed and purified by the doctor. During the so-called stem cell face lift, stem cells in the fat cells are processed using a special device or activated via drugs, chemicals or lasers. The fat is then injected beneath the skin into the target area. A bandage may be applied at this time.
Results are fully evident within one week. Fat fillers never result in 100 percent improvement of wrinkles, scars, hollow cheeks, or thinned lips; nor are the results permanent. Results can last as little as a few weeks or as long as one year.
After the procedure, patients may experience rather strong swelling and some bruising. The swelling may last for several weeks or months. The treated area may appear reddish in color within the first 48 hours.
