What you need to know about Fat Transfer in San Jose
Also known as Fat Harvesting, Fat Grafting, Fat Injections, Lipofilling, Fat Transfer is a cosmetic surgery involving the movement of fat from one part of the body to another. During this procedure, your own fat will be used to fill in irregularities and grooves, primarily in the face, around the temples, eyes, chin, and lips. It can also be used to enhance the appearance of the breast, feet, hips, buttocks, and hands. The procedure is now a well-established technique that was perfected in the early nineties.
Some of the most common aesthetic indications for undergoing fat transfer / lipofilling include sunken cheeks, the disappearance of fat from the cheekbones, deep grooves running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and in some instances of lines between the lower eyelids and the cheek. It is also one of the most common methods used for lip enhancement. In addition, lipofilling can be used to smooth out all types of irregularities such as those resulting from poorly performed liposuction or injuries.
The necessary fat is obtained by a limited liposculpture through one or several 3 to 5 mm incisions. It is normally taken from the abdomen or inner thigh. The aspirated fat is processed by centrifuging, filtering or rinsing. Pure liquid fatty tissue ready for injection is the result. The fat is then injected where needed. The fat is evenly distributed into the area by injecting minute amounts in the tissues so that the injected fat is well surrounded by healthy tissue. This ensures that the transplanted fat remains in contact with the surrounding tissues that must supply it with oxygen and nutrients.
What's the Recovery Time for Fat Transfer Procedures in San Jose?
The recovery period is different for different areas of your body. After a buttock augmentation, you have to sleep on your stomach or keep standing for at least 4 weeks. Because sitting can dissipate the fat. The shape of the augmented area might appear irregular initially, it will get a proper contour after some time. There will be moderate swelling and bruising at both the donor and the recipient sites for 2 weeks. Your face might appear fat and plump after fat grafting but it will settle down before long. You might suffer from moderate pain for a few days. Pain killers are given to deal with this. Almost 6 months are required for the results to fully show.
What's the Success Rate of Fat Transfer Procedures in San Jose?
When exploring any health-related process, the success ratio becomes a key element to consider. The efficiency of the Fat Transfer in San Jose hinges upon various aspects such as proficiency and expertise of the surgeon, the health condition of the individual, and compliance to the guidelines of care after the operation. Fat transfer has been gaining fame due to its dual advantage of eliminating unnecessary fat from the body and accentuating preferred areas.
The outcomes of Fat Transfer show promising persistency. Many people have enjoyed pleasing results that lasted for a long span of time. Fat transfer for breast augmentation has increased by 76% in 2016 while for butt augmentation, a 26% increase has been witnessed. This approach also enjoys a commendable success ratio when it comes to patient satisfaction, with some researches revealing satisfaction percentages reaching up to 85%. It's however crucial to hold realistic anticipations, since factors like age, weight changes, and general health can sway the results. Regular consultations with your health provider are crucial for monitoring improvements and promptly dealing with any arising issues.
