When the face loses volume and the skin becomes less elastic, rejuvenation with your own fat may be a helpful solution. The procedure uses the patient’s own tissue, supports regeneration, improves blood supply, and provides a natural effect.
Volume restoration and rejuvenation with autologous fat are used in both women and men who have developed loss of fat tissue, wrinkles, or reduced skin elasticity. The procedure is most often performed in the cheek area, the malar region of the face, the tear trough, but also on the body, for example on the backs of the hands. Adipose tissue is also often used to reduce so-called crow’s feet and under-eye bags.
The first stage involves harvesting material from the patient, most commonly from the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, which additionally helps contour these areas of the body. Then, after appropriate preparation, the tissue is implanted into the target area. An unquestionable advantage of this method is the fact that the patient’s own tissue is used for the procedure, which means there is no risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, this tissue is rich in stem cells, which increase collagen production, improve the overall condition of the skin and enhance its blood supply. The skin appears more radiant and youthful, and wrinkles become softened. Moreover, stem cells have anti-inflammatory properties, which means that after the procedure the patient does not have to struggle with prolonged swelling.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. It is not painful, and the initial effects are visible immediately. Contraindications include inflammatory conditions in the treatment area, blood clotting disorders, and serious systemic diseases. The procedure is also not performed in patients with hypertension, diabetes, or in those taking certain medications. The final decision regarding qualification for the procedure is made by the physician on the basis of an examination and medical history.
