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.
Benefits:
Natural, non-allergenic.
Outpatient procedure that generally takes
under an hour.
Injections may last from several months to
permanently.
Little or no downtime.

with medication.
Because fat is from the patient’s own body,
no pre-testing is required and the fat
cannot be rejected.

to bovine collagen.
Cost effective if combined with another
procedure like liposuction.
