Fat injection
In Dr. Sohrabi’s clinics complex
In addition to increasing volume, fat injection into the face and body is also used to shape and adjust facial features, and with its help, weak points such as lines and wrinkles can be strengthened and facial features can be improved. For example, fat injection into the lip area can increase the volume and fullness of the lips and shape them. Surely you also want to eliminate these wrinkles by injecting fat into your face and body and still have a young and attractive face and body, and for this reason you are looking into fat injection services.
As we age, our faces often lose their youthful appearance, and this is because fat naturally decreases over time. A lack of facial fat causes sagging skin and a hollow appearance. Fat transfer is a natural way to permanently restore facial volume. Fat injection is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that has been embraced by many people to enhance the beauty of many parts of the body, including the face, lips, breasts, buttocks, etc. Fat removed from the patients’ own bodies can be re-injected to plump up the face and smooth out wrinkles.
Fat injection
One of the important factors that makes the skin look firm and youthful is the fat underneath it. This is because these fats make the skin clearer and prevent wrinkles from forming on it. Among the new methods that are currently being suggested by many doctors and have gained the satisfaction of patients is facial fat injection. As its name suggests, in this method, the lost fat in the desired area is returned by injecting fat back into it; but what makes this method more popular among other fillers is the extraction of fat from the patient’s own excess fat tissues.
Fat injection
Does facial fat injection have any side effects?
Yes, facial fat injections, like any procedure, can have risks and complications for the individual. Fortunately, most of the complications of facial fat injections are usually not serious and are mostly temporary and transient. However, one of the rare but serious complications of facial fat injections is injection into blood vessels, which can lead to embolism, stroke, blindness or skin necrosis. To date, 93 cases of embolism due to complications of facial fat injections have been reported worldwide. Although there are ways to prevent this complication, it is essential that people considering this cosmetic procedure, even though the risks are rare, are aware of them and make an informed decision.
What are the side effects of facial fat injection?
Approximately 50 to 60 percent of the volume of fat injected into the face may be lost over time and therefore require repair. The most common side effects of fat injection into the face include:
- Bruise
- Inflation
- Numbness or altered sensation in the filled areas
These symptoms are usually temporary, and bleeding and infection are uncommon during this process.
What are the steps of fat injection?
Like any other medical and therapeutic procedure, fat injection has steps that must be performed in order and accurately so that the final result is satisfactory and completely safe. This operation has four main steps, which are:
Step 1: Removing the Fat
The first step is to remove fat from areas such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, etc. In this step, the doctor, after consulting with you, attaches a special syringe to a tube and removes the fat. This procedure is basically done using the liposuction method.
Step 2: Fat Centrifuge
The second stage is the fat centrifugation stage. In fact, in this stage, blood and excess fat are removed from the desired fat, purifying the fat before its injection. After that, the remaining fat and its purified stem cells are used to fill the parts of the face and body that you want to rejuvenate and remove wrinkles. In fact, the collected fat is pulped in a special way.
Step 3: Fat injection
Of course, the steps for fat injection may vary slightly between doctors. Some doctors do not perform the centrifugation step and do not consider it necessary.
What are the types of fat injection techniques?
It has various methods, each of which is selected and used for the patient according to their needs, skin type, and condition. Some of these methods include:
Microfat fat injection method
Microfat injection technique, also known as microfat injection, is used for smaller body changes and in smaller areas. This is because the fat is injected with very thin needles into areas such as under the eyes, on the lips, or in wrinkles. Therefore, the results of microfat are more natural and smaller and do not require extensive surgery or a long time.
Macrofat fat injection method
In the macrofat method, or large fat injection, a significant volume increase is achieved through surgery in areas such as the chest, buttocks, face, abdomen or thighs. First, fat is removed from the thighs, flanks and abdomen using special syringes and then injected into the desired area through larger syringes without preparation. The main advantage of the macrofat method is that a large volume of fat can be injected at once and a significant change can be made.
Nanofatting fat injection method
This technique, which is very similar to lipofilling, is mostly used to smooth out facial irregularities and cover wrinkles. It is also minimally invasive and uses fat extracted from other parts of the body.
Lipofilling technique and method
In the lipofilling technique, a specialist doctor removes fat from various parts of your body and injects it into your face and desired areas after cleansing and refining. This minimally invasive technique is used to rejuvenate the face and increase its volume.
In which areas of the body can fat injections be performed?
Fat injection into the face
In facial fat injection, fat is injected into hollow or sagging areas and areas with wrinkles and, along with other cosmetic procedures such as endolift, it fills them out and makes the face look younger. Facial fat injection is one of the most popular areas for clients because it covers wrinkles and lines and makes clients look years younger.
Lip fat injection
Having fuller and larger lips is considered one of the beauty criteria for women and even men today, and for this reason, lip fat injection is another of the most popular options that can be seen in this cosmetic procedure. For the lips, the desired fat is basically removed from the person’s abdomen in the areas around the navel and, after cleansing, is injected into their lips. Lip fat injection can last up to 6 years or more.
Fat injection into the cheek
To shape their face and make it look younger and more youthful, many women resort to fat injections into their cheeks.
Fat injection under the eyes
Injecting a small amount of fat under the eye will fill the hollow and at the same time remove the darkness, which will have a significant impact on the beauty of the face and its freshness. Fat injection into this area is not only for older people, and many young people can also go for it to treat hollow and dark circles under their eyes.
Fat injection into the frown line
Frown lines can be caused by various reasons, such as the habit of frowning or weak eyesight, on the forehead and between the eyebrows, and one way to eliminate them is to inject fat into them and fill them in. So, fat can also be used in addition to Botox injections.
Fat injection into the abdomen
You might be wondering at first why someone would need to inject fat into their abdomen. While everyone is looking to reduce fat in this area. Injecting fat into the abdomen is actually a type of body sculpting. Because a specialist doctor removes fat from the abdomen itself and injects it into it in a professional manner like six-pack muscles, giving your abdomen an athletic appearance.
Fat injection into the angle of the jaw
This process will be done to help with angulation.
Fat injection into the chin
It is used to create more angularity on the face for those who have a receding chin, whose chin is not in the right shape, and who do not have a beautiful profile.
Fat injection into the breast
Breast fat injections from 25 cc to 400 cc can help to increase its volume and also make its shape more symmetrical and beautiful. In many cases, women who have had to have their breasts emptied due to illness can also help to refill it and harmonize their breasts.
Fat injection into the hands
One of the parts of the body that wrinkle or age faster than other parts is the hands, and this is due to their excessive exposure to water and their increased activity. By injecting some fat into the hands, these wrinkles can be eliminated and the hands’ youth can be restored. It also reduces the visibility of the veins, bones, and tendons in the hands, making the hands appear fuller and less bony.
Who is a good candidate for injection?
- People who have wrinkles, sagging skin, or scars on the face.
- May require injections in multiple areas of the face.
- The person has lost some degree of fullness, prominence, and youthful appearance of their face.
- The person must have an area for fat removal.
- The person must be physically and mentally healthy.

Steps before fat injection
- Keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Quit smoking and drinking alcohol a few weeks in advance.
- Avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications.
- If you have a history of a specific medical condition, be sure to discuss it with your doctor.
Post-fat injection care
Just as important as pre-fat grafting care is post-fat grafting care, it can include the following:
- Take the medications prescribed by your doctor correctly and regularly.
- Avoid strenuous activities.
- Avoid massaging by rubbing the fat injection area.
- Keep dressings and fat extraction and injection areas clean.
- Avoid getting water on the injured areas for a few days.
Fat injection shelf life
- One of the most common questions asked about fat injection is how long it lasts. This question is a bit difficult to answer because it depends on two important factors. The first factor that plays a very decisive role in this regard is the skill of the doctor in performing the procedure. If the doctor knows the amount of skin needed for fat injection and performs the needle injection process correctly, you can be sure that the fat will last very long.
- The second factor affecting the longevity is the individuals themselves. If individuals listen to all the doctor’s recommendations and take the necessary care correctly, they will increase the longevity of the fat effect. Also, to maintain health and the longevity of the results of the procedure, you should not cut off your contact with your doctor. It is better to go to the doctor every few months and inform him of your condition. The doctor may announce a new decision to you after the necessary examination and investigations.
