Fat injection is commonly performed at plastic surgicentre in Doha, Qatar.
Body fat makes excellent soft tissue filler material.
Fat injection transfers fat from one part of the body to another to recontour the face; diminish frown lines, crow’s
feet and nasolabial folds (smile lines); and
provide definition to areas like the cheeks and chin. It can also be
used to fill out depressed scarred areas on any part of the body. Fat
injection is not permanent, and may require an effective maintenance
program.
The donor site (for example, abdomen, buttocks or thighs) and the
treatment site are injected with local anesthetic. Fat cells are
extracted through a small needle attached to a syringe. The fat is then
processed to remove excess fluids and reinjected
with another needle in multiple thin strands in the desired area. Some
swelling, bruising—usually about 48 hours. Patient should avoid the sun
until the condition subsides.For
longest-lasting effect, patients generally
receive 3 to 4 treatments over a six-month period. Longevity of results
can vary significantly from patient to patient.
