Fat Injection
It is a procedure performed to eliminate existing wrinkles or volume reductions in the tissues in some areas of the face (such as lips, grooves on the side of the nose, cheekbones).
The difference from other filling applications is that the results of this application, which is prepared from the person’s own fat tissue, are superior in terms of permanence and do not cause compatibility problems since the person’s own fat tissue is used.
Our main purpose in this method is to place the fat taken from the abdominal area into the targeted tissues without damaging its naturalness. The placed fats adapt to their new places in a short time. Generally, there is no need to stay in the hospital, and with a short-term use of antibiotics, the injection sites can be left without any dressing.
As a result, fat injections, which create an instant difference, are one of our facial rejuvenation applications that have become increasingly popular in recent years.
