Side effects of autologous fat grafting

Many people have some defects in their appearance, such as flat nose, short chin, and underdeveloped breasts. These will affect a person's image to a certain extent. However, these defects can be improved through autologous fat filling. As a micro-plastic surgery method that can make people more beautiful, autologous fat filling has both advantages and certain side effects. The following will introduce you to the relevant knowledge.

1. Introduction

Autologous fat absorbs excess subcutaneous fat cells from certain parts of the human body, and then the absorbed mixture is purified and injected with drugs to obtain compound fat particles. The complete granular fat cells are selected and transplanted to the parts that need fat filling, such as breasts, face, etc., through injection, to treat flat chest, asymmetric breasts, superficial fine wrinkles, thin lips to thick lips, etc.

2. Advantages

1. Autologous fat transplantation uses one's own fat particles. As autologous tissue, its biological properties are far superior to any prosthetic material. It is non-toxic and harmless to the body and will not produce immune reactions or rejection reactions.

2. Autologous fat transplantation will not cause changes in the body's endocrine environment, will not harm the breast itself, and will not have adverse effects on future childbirth and breastfeeding;

3. Using autologous fat particles as filling materials is easier to obtain from the body, the tissue source is abundant, and the price is more affordable than prostheses;

4. The breasts after autologous fat transplantation are soft and beautiful, and the shape is realistic. From the psychological perspective of women and their partners, the real feeling of breasts enlarged by autologous fat transplantation is better and easier to be accepted;

5. There are many ways to extract fat, the main one is wet vacuum liposuction, which is less traumatic and has fewer complications. The incision made in Airong liposuction is generally about 3-5mm, so the scar after healing is very small and located in a hidden area (such as the navel, buttocks, etc.). For people with more local fat accumulation, it can help lose weight and shape beautiful curves. It can be said that it can reshape the three measurements.

3. Side Effects

1. Infection: There is a possibility of infection during surgery, which usually occurs 5-7 days later. If infection occurs, seek medical attention immediately;

2. Hematoma: There is a possibility of bleeding during surgery. If the coagulation function is impaired due to injury to small blood vessels during surgery, hematoma will form. Anticoagulant drugs are prohibited before and after surgery.

3. Local skin unevenness: Generally, it can be adjusted by itself 3-6 months after surgery. If it is not perfect, you should be admitted to the hospital for correction treatment;

4. Subcutaneous fluid accumulation after liposuction: due to poor venous return;

5. Fat absorption: After fat particles are transplanted, part of them will be absorbed by the tissues, and multiple implantations are required to achieve better results.
