fat fill face
Overview
Fat Fill Face, also known as facial fat grafting or fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face using your own fat. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sivakumar, we offer this advanced technique to help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This guide provides a complete overview of the Fat Fill Face procedure, covering everything from the initial consultation to post-operative care.
Objectives
The primary objectives of a Fat Fill Face procedure include:
- Restoring lost facial volume due to aging.
- Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.
- Improving facial contours and symmetry.
- Enhancing overall facial aesthetics with natural-looking results.
- Correcting scars or depressions in the face.
Introduction
As we age, our faces naturally lose volume, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and a less youthful appearance. Fat Fill Face is a revolutionary technique that addresses these concerns by transferring fat from areas where it is abundant (such as the abdomen, thighs, or hips) to areas of the face that need volume restoration. This procedure offers a natural and long-lasting solution for facial rejuvenation. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery, Coimbatore, Dr. Sivakumar employs the latest techniques and technology to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Equipment
The equipment used in a Fat Fill Face procedure includes:
- Liposuction Cannulas: Used to extract fat from the donor site gently.
- Centrifuge: To purify and concentrate the harvested fat.
- Injection Cannulas: Fine needles to inject the fat into the targeted facial areas.
- Local Anesthesia: To numb the donor and recipient sites.
- Sterile Drapes and Solutions: To maintain a sterile environment.
Contraindications
While Fat Fill Face is a safe and effective procedure for many, certain contraindications must be considered:
- Active Infections: Patients with active skin or systemic infections should postpone the procedure.
- Bleeding Disorders: Individuals with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant medications may not be suitable candidates.
- Unrealistic Expectations: Patients with unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
- Severe Medical Conditions: Patients with severe uncontrolled medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes.
- Smoking: Smokers are advised to quit smoking before and after the procedure to promote better healing and fat survival.
Technique or Treatment
The Fat Fill Face procedure involves several key steps:
- 1. Harvesting: Fat is harvested from a donor site (abdomen, thighs, or hips) using liposuction.
- 2. Processing: The harvested fat is then processed to purify and concentrate the viable fat cells.
- 3. Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the targeted areas of the face using fine needles.
Anesthesia
Fat Fill Face is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's preference. Dr. Sivakumar and our team at Covai Cosmetic Surgery will discuss the best anesthesia option for you during your consultation.
