What are the dangers of facial fillers?

Facial fillers are also called facial fillers in plastic surgery. The main method is to use body fat to fill the face. In fact, many friends have undergone such operations because it can make the face look fuller. This type of cosmetic surgery can actually cause harm, such as facial infection, hematoma, etc.

1. Infection, hematoma

Facial fat filling surgeries such as lip augmentation and cheek augmentation can cause infection. The cause of failure may be related to the surgical technique, infection in the surgical area, or excessive transplant volume. Infection and hematoma will directly affect the survival rate of transplanted fat and may not achieve the desired surgical effect.

2. Insufficient fat filling

According to relevant statistics: facial fat transplantation has a dissatisfaction rate of 3% to 14%. Part of the reason for the failure of autologous fat filling is that the filling volume still cannot meet the patient's requirements after the usual number of transplants. The problems of excessive absorption of transplanted fat and unpredictable transplantation results have always been the difficulties in the failure of autologous fat transplantation.

3. Excessive fat filling

If autologous fat is filled too much, failure will be manifested as bloating in the surgical area, which may be symmetrical or unilateral; some begin after the operation, while others appear 3 to 6 months after the operation. It is very common in cheek augmentation surgery.

4. Fat movement

Before the fat survives after autologous fat grafting surgery, the transplanted fat tissue may shift. It often occurs in areas with excessive subcutaneous scar tissue or in ligament distribution areas (such as the nasolabial groove).
