1. Does it hurt if I take the autologous fat filling?

    Anesthetics will be applied in the course of the surgey, so there won't be any pain during the surgery. And no obvious postoperative pain will be felt within 24 hours after the treatment as there will only be swelling pain on the surgical sites which generally lessens or vanishes in three days. So you don't need to worry about it.

 

2. Will the site of liposuction become uneven?

   Many people worry that the liposuction site will become uneven after the liposuction. Yet this problem can be avoided as experienced doctors will elaborately design the liposuction area before the surgery and estimate the amount of liposuction. So you should communicate fully with the surgeon before the surgery to fully understand specific problems.  

 

3. Will I have unnatural and stiff facial expressions after the autologous fat filling?
Generally speaking, your facial expression may be temporarily stiff due to swelling of the fat injection site within the first week after the filling. After the swelling period, your expression will no longer be stiff. 

4. What are the advantages of the autologous fat filling?

a. It has small wound and faster recovery, and the general recovery can be achieved in 5-7 days.

b. Once the fat survives the body, it stays alive permanently.

c. Autogenous materials are highly safe, and are more acceptable psychologically.

 

5. What are the disadvantages of the autologous fat filling?

a. Only some of the fat can survive inside the body after being transplanted, and so another surgery is usually required to add more fat.  

b. As a surgery, it still causes certain extent of trauma which requires certain recovery period.   

 

6. Who are suitable for the autologous fat filling?
a. Those with thin face and too flat facial contour
b. Those with too narrow or too flat forehead.  
c. Those with tempus (temple and canthus) depression. 
d. Those with sagging cheeks.
e. Those with deep nasolabial folds.
f.  Those with lower zygomatic arch depression.
g. Those with facial asymmetry, especially asymmetry of soft tissue.

 

7. Is there any sequelae of the autologous fat filling?
No, it isn’t. Autologous fat is an ideal biological filling material which is safe and reliable with ideal effect.  

 

8. Will facial filling by autologous fat lead to sagging face over time?

To some extent, autologous fat can lift facial skin instead of causing sagging face. Sagging face has nothing to do with fat filling itself, but is associated with the natural aging process. People can take corresponding facial lifting surgery according to actual situations if there is sagging face several years later.

 

9. How long does it take to recover after facial filling by the autologous fat?

Facial pinholes will scab in 3 to 4 days after the filling and then normal cleaning can be had. Scab shedding will be achieved in 5 to 7 days, and then the face completely recovers.

 

10. How many times of facial filling by the autologous fat does it t ake to achieve an ideal effect?

According to the differences of survival rate, it requires 2 to 3 times of facial filling by the autologous fat so as to achieve the ideal effect. Some people can get a good result by just one time of the filling while some people still do not get ideal effects after three times of the filling.

 

11. Can I extract enough fat at a time and store it in a refrigerator in preparation for further treatment?

 Well, you are suggested to extract fresh fat each time you have the filling as the vitality of freezing fat is poorer than that of the fresh one. So unless you have limited fat in the fat supply area or you can’t accept another liposuction, you are supposed to extract fresh fat each time.   

 

12. Are there any preoperative considerations about the autologous fat filling?

a. Exclude surgical contraindications, such as hypertension and diabetes. 

b. There is no infection nidus at the surgical area.

c. Anti-coagulant drugs, blood-invigoration Chinese medicine and aspirin shall be prohibited or stopped half month before the surgery.

d. Ensure proper rest time. 

e. Female shall avoid their menstruation period.

f.  Prepare a elastic garment for the liposuction part.

g. If general anesthesia or combined anesthesia is applied, do not have food or water 6 hours before the surgery.
