Face fat transplantation - Fat grafting
What is this surgery?
Your own fat tissue is used instead of fillers for filling in wrinkles, creases, sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, operational defects and dystrophy.
The excessive fat tissue is usually taken from your belly or thighs. Using a special lab technique, the tissue is processed and injected through micro cannulas into the chosen area which lacks in volume.
The result is excellent and permanent.
About 70%-80% of the fat tissue survives the transfer. This percentage depends on the techniques used to remove and process the tissue. Well prepared fat tissue graft will contain the maximum number of the patient’s own vital stem cells.
What is preparation for the surgery?
Before scheduling your surgery, you are supposed to do the following analyses and bring your results with you:
- Blood type - We need a document where your blood type is stated. The surname in the document MUST be the same as the surname in your ID.
- Laboratory analyses (not older than two weeks):
- Complete blood count - erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron, sedimentation
- Biochemical parameters - urea, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases (AST and ALT), electrolytes (potassium, sodium chlorides)
- Coagulation parameters - APTT, prothrombin time and INR
- Urine sediment
The most common reason for canceling the planned surgery is a bad result of some of these analyses.
For this reason, we insist that you do these laboratory analyses and send them to us before coming to the surgery.
The price of the operation includes preoperative preparation: digital X-ray of the lungs, examination by a radiologist, examination by a cardiologist, EKG and examination by an anesthesiologist, totaling 12700din. These tests are done in our hospital.
All possible, necessary additional analyses, e.g. breast ultrasound or thyroid hormone tests, will be charged separately and are not included in the price.
What kind of anesthesia is used for the intervention?
Local anesthesia with analgosedation.
After what time can I leave the hospital?
Two hours after the surgery.
What shouldn’t I be afraid of after the intervention?
Swelling, bruises and firmness above the injected fat tissue are transient.
What can I expect from this surgery?
Restored cheek volume, filled creases and rejuvenated contour.
The same effect can be achieved with filler injection, but then it is a much more expensive procedure bearing in mind the amount of injected material (10-20cc of fat).
Examination and consultations are free of charge.
