Fat, the nightmare of many women’s hearts, in fact, we plastic surgeons, can’t get enough of it. Fat grafting, one of the hottest labels in the plastic surgery world in the last two years, has been said to bring a revolution in plastic surgery with the continued maturation and perfection of fat grafting technology. I believe that liposuction is not new to anyone, but in fact fat grafting has a long history, the earliest application can be traced back to 1893, due to the limitations of the concept and technology, it has not been popular, people in the long course of history desperately looking for a variety of tissue fillers, after experiencing time and time again the pain of cutting, and finally returned to the simple to find the fat that has been waiting there cells. Fat transplantation is currently the most extensive surgery, can be used to fill the depressions in various parts of the body, to enhance the sense of three-dimensionality and contour, let’s take a look at what fat transplantation can do: first: facial fat filling, forehead augmentation, temporal augmentation, filling the tear trough, apple muscle augmentation, filling the nasolabial folds (to get rid of the lines), chin augmentation, etc.; second: autologous fat breast augmentation (moving fat from the abdomen and waist to the chest) (This is the highest level of waste utilization and turning waste into treasure). Third: treatment of diseases: such as hemifacial atrophy, depressed scarring, etc.; in fact, there is a fourth and fifth, not a list, really only can not think, not do ah. So what are the advantages of autologous fat transplantation? First of all, autologous fat particles, as its own tissue, its biological characteristics are far better than any prosthetic materials, non-toxic and harmless, there is no immune reaction and rejection, which is the biggest premise of any filler material: safety, safety, safety (the important thing to say three times). Secondly, autologous fat is relatively easy to take, and there are abundant sources of material (this point is not much to explain, especially the more fat MM, you know); in addition, the extracted fat tissue is mixed with fat-derived stem cells (ADSCs), which can help improve the local skin texture, and some scholars even found that fat transplantation under the scar can improve the texture of the scar. Finally, fat grafting requires only a few small holes in the skin, which is relatively minimally invasive and leaves little scarring. Of course, no method is perfect, and fat grafting has its drawbacks. Fat grafting is subject to a certain degree of absorption, and even with the best current fat grafting techniques, 50%-75% of the fat will be absorbed one year after surgery, which means that the surgery will not be shaped in one go, and it usually takes 2-3 surgeries to achieve a more satisfactory and fixed result. In addition, there are still controversies on the safety of fat filling in high-risk areas of the face and the long-term safety after breast augmentation surgery, but the flaw does not cover up the good, fat grafting is still a good technique and a good method, as long as the right indications are found and selected to minimize the risk and maximize the effect.
