Procedure Details

A needle attached to a syringe is inserted into an area of excess fat such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, knees, etc. Excess fat cells are aspirated into the syringe and then injected into the area to be treated. This procedure may require repetition to achieve a maximum result.

There is no issue of rejection or allergic reactions. However, a portion of the transplanted fat may tend to decrease in volume. That's why a large volume of fat is typically injected.

Anesthesia... without general anesthesia

Local anesthesia with sedation is used for your facial fat injection. Therefore, this facial plastic surgery is performed by Dr. Fanous without the use of general anesthesia. You can return home on the same day of the facial fat injection.

After the fat injections

Recovery time.

Patients may experience mild discomfort. Swelling and bruising can persist for several days to a few weeks. Most patients can resume their normal activities or work within one to two weeks after surgery. The final results are visible only after six months. However, the vast majority of patients are functional and presentable after one to two weeks.

Risks

Possible complications

Risks exist as in any aesthetic surgical procedure: resorption of injected fat, infection, bleeding, excessive scar formation, skin irregularities, skin necrosis, pulmonary embolism, ocular embolism, and so on.
