The terms fat transfer and fat injection refer to the process of taking fat from one area of your body (for example, your stomach or thigh) and injecting it into another area to augment the volume. They have become a popular alternative to the more temporary fillers and have been used to improve the appearance of hollow cheeks and tear troughs, thin lips, aging eyes and foreheads, and hands, as well as scars and reconstruction deficits. The appeal of the fat transfer in Bellevue is that the results have the potential to be long-lasting (many years, if not forever), and there is no host response to any foreign materials because the filler comes from the patient’s own body.
Fat cells are harvested using a small cannula and syringe, usually from the torso or hips, and processed/purified using a variety of techniques. The fat is then redistributed to the problem areas in a small micro droplet fashion. Our team can further explain the benefits of this facial procedure.
We will do everything in our power to help you feel informed and relaxed on the day of your procedure. After you arrive, you will meet with Dr. Min and with your anesthesiologist. Once any questions you have are answered, you will be given medication to help you relax.
You will be brought into the surgical suite, where you will be prepped for surgery and given a general anesthetic or a local with sedation. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours.
You will want to be sure to arrange for someone to pick you up after your fat injection procedure in Bellevue.
You are still our patient after you leave, and we will be there for you as you recover to answer any questions you may have and advise you on any side effects you may be feeling after a Bellevue fat injection. Patients can generally return home within a matter of hours.
Patients can begin moving around right away and resume light exercise after a few days. Most patients return to work after a day or two, but you should avoid strenuous activity for 3-5 days.
Your results will be visible immediately and will improve as swelling diminishes (1-2 weeks). Dr. Min and the Newvue staff are always available to help you with any questions or concerns you may have during your recovery and after fat injection in Bellevue. We want to ensure that you are completely thrilled with your new look, and we consider you our patient for life.
