The fat injections for the face
Many people wonder about what really is cosmetic plastic fat injection surgery for the cheeks, lips and wrinkles.
Is it painful? What is the procedure? What is the recovery time for such a surgery?
The surgery of fat injection for cheeks, lips and wrinkles has the scientific name of lipo-facial injection.
The injected fat has the goal of enhancing the volume of the cheeks and lips, as well as filling facial wrinkles.
The goal is to rejuvenate the face in a discreet way.
Surgical approaches
The augmentation of the cheeks, lips and face by fat injection, or lipo-injection, is a technique practiced in our clinic in Montreal for many years.
The fat injection, or lipo-injection, is used in order to increase the volume of the cheeks, lips and other parts of the face. It is also done to fill facial wrinkles.
To obtain the necessary fat, lipo-aspiration. or liposuction, of another body area (ex: knees, hips, etc.) is indicated.
Generally, the healing of the injected fat is satisfactory; it is however not possible to ensure that the volume of fat that has been transferred will take entirely. So, in about 10% of cases, the procedure may be repeated a second time a year later.
The results are considered sustainable after a period of 3 to 6 months following the surgery.
The result?
The most important concern for Dr. Nabil Fanous in the case of the cosmetic fat injection surgery of the face, after the safety of his patients, is the natural appearance of the face once the injection is completed.
So, the facial fat injection must be discreet. It should not attract attention.
The fat injection for augmenting the cheeks, lips and other parts of the face, as well as for filling facial wrinkles, is to change the face in a non-exaggerated way.
Considering the importance of the face, the success of such an operation is crucial.
It is essential that the fat injection surgery is made while taking the facial harmony into consideration.
Alteration or correction must remain subtle.
A look that does not seem to have been changed too much is what needs to be achieved. That is why a small correction of the cheeks, lips or wrinkles very often makes a huge difference even though the change is discreet.
Many patients who consult us about fat injections are encouraged by friends or family members who have had this same injection done by Dr. Fanous. Seeing the result on a person that we know is one of the ways to assess the skills of a surgeon.
