Fat Transfer in Iran

According to the recently published 2020 report from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), with approximately 600,000 successful surgeries registered worldwide, facial fat injections alone are the 8^th most popular cosmetic surgery.

Fat Transfer in Iran, like many other countries in the world, has become a trend and popular these days.

The reason behind the popularity of Fat Transfer in Recent Years are:

1. You benefit in two ways when you have a fat transfer because whether you like it or not, to inject fat into any part of your body in order to achieve a more aesthetic form, fat tissue must be removed from a donor area of ​​your body, which means achieving a more beautiful form in two, or even several areas of the body.
2. Fat cells are accompanied by stem cells, which, if injected into the facial area, help to rejuvenate the skin on the face.

Fat grafting is also known by the following titles:

• Lipofilling
• Free fat grafting
• Fat transfer
• Fat injections
• Autologous fat transfer

We all have an excess amount of fat in our bodies. If there is enough of this accumulated fat in the body, liposuction or lipomatic can be used in order to remove (harvest) the excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, or backs (referred to as the donor site), and injected into areas that need an increase in volume, or improvements in function, such as the breasts, buttocks, face, and even the hands. This medical procedure is called grafting.

Currently, Fat Transfer to Face is an ideal option for those who want to avoid injecting dermal fillers, the risks associated with them, and relevant care.

Facial tissues readily accept autologous fat without any concern regarding an immune or carcinogenic reaction. This method is performed as a separate or complementary method for any facial cosmetic procedure, such as a facelift, in order to enhance the final aesthetic result.

Fat Transfer in Iran is usually performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the area of ​​surgery, and the volume of fat harvesting and injection, the procedure will take between 1 to 1.5 hours. A fat grafting surgery has 3 stages. fat harvesting, processing, and purification of the adipose tissue, and fat injection

There are 3 major categories of fat transfer based on adipose tissue size:

This method involves using a large size cannula with a dimension of 7 mm. Using this method is a better choice in cases where the area to be injected is large, such as injections in the breasts or buttocks. This approach is NOT recommended for smaller areas such as the face. This method preserves stem cells better.

This method is carried out using a cannula with a size of 0.7 to 0.9 and has better performance for the facial area. In this approach, the adipose tissue will be injected in smaller amounts and have more surface area that is in contact with the blood cells at the injection site. This increases the chance of survival of the injected adipose tissue.

In Nano Fat Transfer, adipose tissue is mechanically processed into a liquid called nano-fat. This method has the highest number of stem cells, which will have a better effect on skin rejuvenation.

• After having Fat Transfer in Iran, the patient can be discharged from the hospital/clinic the same day, and resume their normal lifestyle after several days.
• After injecting the purified fat tissue into the desired area, only the adipose tissue that is nourished by the circulating blood of that area survives and remains in that area. According to studies, this amount is approximately 30% of the total fat that has been injected.

• The small wounds left over from the fat harvesting process heal within a week.
• You can go back to work one week after having your fat grafting surgery.
• You can resume your low-intensity exercise after about 3 weeks.
• You will have symptoms of bruising and inflammation at the fat harvesting site for up to 3 weeks.
• You will experience numbness at the fat harvesting site for 1 to 6 months.

• Just like many other surgeries, fat grafting has its risks. The risks of fat transfer in Iran are reduced if the procedure is carried out by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon.
• The risk of fat grafting includes the risk of fat harvesting during liposuction & lipomatic surgery, and the risk of the fat injection in the desired area.
• We have fully explained the possible risks of liposuction and lipomatic surgeries in the pages related to these two procedures.
• Furthermore, not paying attention to fat injection in such a way that it is injected sparsely in the desired location may cause fat cysts of dense fat masses at one point.

You should also bear in mind that research is still ongoing regarding the effectiveness of fat grafting in some areas of the face, such as the lips.

Up to 70% of the injected adipose tissue in a fat grafting surgery may be lost within a few months after the injection. This amount can be reduced to 50% if the surgery meets the ideal conditions of fat grafting that we will explain below.

• Surgeons usually inject more fat to compensate for this loss. Of course, it should be noted that this amount should NOT exceed a certain limit in order to avoid the death of all living adipose tissue.
• Stable and final results of fat grafting, including fat volume, and body lines in the desired area are usually obtained within 3 to 4 months.
• Usually, the results of fat grafting are more long-lasting and stable for several years compared to other filler injection methods.

• Having a sufficient amount of adipose tissue in the donor zone (for more fat injection).
• Increasing the quality of blood supply in the desired area for injection (using BRAVA device, or Cypress oil).
• • Optimal cannula size during adipose tissue harvesting (micrografting or macrografting).

  There is controversy among surgeons as to whether large-sized cannulas or small-sized cannulas can increase the effectiveness of fat grafting. Some surgeons believe that a larger cannula separates larger pieces of adipose tissue so that they survive. On the other hand, some doctors believe that a small cannula removes adipose tissue in small amounts, which will become less damaged during the injection stage, and the blood circulation will nourish the tissue better.

• Quality of processing and purification of living fat cells during the injection process (using centrifugation, physical filtration, or washing methods).
• The plastic or cosmetic surgeon’s accuracy and experience in correctly and effectively injecting the adipose tissue. (scattered injection in different layers).

• Adipose tissue that is nourished by the blood supply tissue after injection will last for a very long time, which is much better than the lifespan of fillers (which is several months).
• Removing fat from an area with excess fat leaves a more aesthetic form.
• Unlike fillers, harvested fat from the body can be injected into any other area of ​​the body without the risk of allergies.
• Fat cells carry stem cells that can help rejuvenate the skin at the injection site.
