How is the operation going?
Before performing surgery on the patient`s face, the doctor performs a marking. The area of fat production is
anesthetized. In places where cannulas are supposed to be inserted, small punctures are made with a scalpel.
Using a
cannula, fat is obtained from the abdomen, inner thighs or chin. A cannula containing fat is inserted into the
puncture area, the skin is slightly leveled to prevent the formation of lumps. Punctures are treated with an
antiseptic solution, then nodular seams are applied, which are removed after 4 to 7 days.
Recovery period
After the procedure, the patient can observe bruises, swelling, which disappear after a couple of weeks. After 7
days, the swelling completely subsides. After a couple of months, the transplanted tissues are restored, the
injected fat germinates with capillaries and begins to receive nutrition.
