What Happens During Fat Fill Treatment?

At Chennai Plastic Surgery, the fat fill is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 30 to 90 minutes depending upon the amount of fat that needs to be harvested and the area into which it is to be grafted.

Liposuction. A small 4 mm incision is made in the donor region. The fat is harvested using blunt canulas and a special aspirator. Incisions are closed with a fine suture and plastered.

Filtration. This step facilitates the separation of blood and other solutions used in the process from the fat cells.

Injection. This involves injecting the purified fat into the area of interest using fine syringes or canulas.

You are free to go home on the same day as the surgery.

What to Expect After Fat Fill Procedure

Fat fill is usually associated with some bruising, swelling and mild pain or discomfort in the region of harvest. Though none of the issues interfere with any of your daily activities, the swelling and bruising will take anywhere between 7 to 15 days to go away completely. Sutures are removed at the end of 7 days.

In areas where fat is injected, you will experience tenderness and mild pain, which will settle gradually.

What Are the Downsides of Fat Fill Procedure?

If you tend to gain a considerable amount following the fat graft, it may distinctly show in the area that was treated.
