Aesthetic medicine and plastic surgeryprocedures are currently gaining popularity. Among them are many methods of correcting the signs of ageing skin. One of these is the use of fillers. Among these, hyaluronic acid or botox are popular, but another type of filler is one's own fat tissue.
Fat grafting is a procedure that aims to shape the silhouette accordingly. It involves taking fat tissue from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or hips, (where there is too much fat), which is then implanted in another location. Thanks to this procedure, various areas of the body can be modelled: most commonly the face, breasts, buttocks and calves.
Immediately after the treatment, the treated area is swollen and bruises may appear, which should disappear after a few weeks. However, it is necessary to wait approximately three months for the full effect.
The procedure is minimally invasive and relatively safe, although it requires local or general anaesthesia. The duration depends on the location of the treatment, with an average of two or three hours. It does not leave scars.
In order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to repeat the procedure, due to the fact that some of the fat cells are absorbed, it is repeated on average once every six months or once a year.
The treatment itself is also a kind of stimulator, namely it stimulates the body's own cells to produce collagen. This is particularly important for treatments in the facial area, as it achieves a smoothing effect on wrinkles.
