Fat Injection in Seattle and Bellevue
Who
is a candidate for fat injection?
- If you have experienced loss of fatty tissue in some
areas of your face, and occasionally rest of the body,
either due to aging or trauma.
- If you have thin lips due to aging or genes.
- If you are starting to form smile lines around your
mouth.
- If you desire enhancement of the chin or jaw line.
- If you do not desire to have artificial implants placed
in you body and face.
- If you desire to gain significant enhancement without
major surgical procedures.
Intended results of fat injection
- Rejuvenate and enhance thinned out areas of body by
strategically placing fat in multiple layers.
- Create results that are not fully absorbed and diminished.
Fat injection procedure description
- In our office, under local anesthesia or sedation
fatty tissue is harvested in a non-traumatic fashion
from appropriate areas of deposit such as inner thighs
or lower abdomen. The amount of fat that is removed
is not going to leave any type of
noticeable defect.
- The fat is then prepared and purified by first centrifuging
it in a special machine. All the oil and local anesthesia
solution is purified out.
- Small (1-2 millimeter) incisions are placed in strategic
areas and specialized cannulas are used to microinject
fatty cells into multiple layers of the appropriate
area. This dramatic technique allows the fatty cells
to seat in areas that can be vascularized. It is this
practice that allows the cells to become permanently
lodged in the areas of thinning.
Recuperation and healing after fat injection
- Sutures are removed in 3-4 days. There is very minimal
bruising, if any. There are no special dressings or
drains. Most patient resume normal activity in 2-3 days.
Depending in the areas that are done most patients have
gone back to work in 3-4 days.
- There is minimal discomfort associated with this procedure
and oral pain medication can easily control the mild
discomfort that some patients feel in the first 24 hours.
