Fat Transfer / Fat Removal
Q & A
Q: What Exactly is the Solution They
Inject Under the Skin in Mesotherapy
A: Solution that is used to inject in Mesotherapy...
Mesotherapy solutions can vary widely from practice to practice
and there are no set components. Some of the most commonly used
solutions are hylauronic acid, phosphatidyl choline, other
enzymes, and amino acids. There is not a large amount of
research delineating the safety of Mesotherapy, but in general,
all of these solutions are natural and safe. Mesotherapy is
intended to dissolve and reduce unwanted areas of fat. It is
only useful for small areas, however, and liposuction would be
needed to create a nice effect when large fatty areas are
present. Usually several sessions are recommended to achieve the
desired outcome. Injections are relatively painless, and the
potential side effects are limited to minor swelling and
soreness, burning, minor skin discoloration and a slight risk of
infection. Make an appointment with an experienced mesotherapy
physician to determine if you are a good candidate.
Q: Does Freezeing Fat for a 2nd Fat
Transfer Work or All the Cells Usually Dead ?
A: Using Fat that was stored in the freezer...
Having fat injections is a great non-invasive procedure to
smooth out that the nasolabial folds. Your doctor will take out
your fat and then process it for your first injection and then
freezer storage. Fat stays "fresh" in the freezer for one year
so enough is taken out to use throughout the year. Subsequent
injections are normally done every 8-10 weeks. After each
injection your fat will build up more and more to create a long
lasting result, smoothing out the folds over the year. Make an
appointment with your plastic surgeon to see if you are a
candidate for this procedure.
Q: Any Safe Temporary Fillers for the
Butt?
A: Any Safe Temporary Fillers for the Butt...
Unfortunately there are no FDA approved fillers designed for the
buttock. Usually, more volume is needed than most injectables
will give. If you don't have enough fat to fill out your
buttocks nicely, you would need a surgical procedure which may
include buttock implants and possibly a lift. Arrange for a
consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and he/she
can guide for in the best direction.
Q: Considering Fat Injection
A: Wanting to do fat injections....
The procedure of Liposuctioning fat from an area and harvesting
for injections into the face is a simple procedure with little
down time, that gives you beautiful results. After having the
first procedure, your thigh will be slightly swollen and
possibly bruised. Your doctor will also inject the fat into
your face at the same time and you may have minimal swelling.
Some patients may get a little bruising especially around the
eyes that will diminish within a few days. Without bruising, by
the next day no one should notice you had anything done.
Additional injections should be done around 8-10 weeks later,
with similar reactions.
