Vlog: Fill cheeks with your own fat

Fill cheeks with your own fat. As you age, your skin may lose volume. For example, loss of volume in cheeks. However, the loss of volume in cheeks can be easily and easily filled with fillers. In addition to different types of fillers, there is also the possibility of filling the loss of volume with the body's own fat, or lipofilling cheeks. There are advantages and disadvantages to filling volume loss with fat.

Advantages and disadvantages: filling in volume loss, cheeks, own fat

There are several disadvantages when it comes to restoring volume loss with your own fat, for example:

  • One of the main reasons that we do not perform this treatment in our clinic has to do with the down-time, among other things. In other words, the time you need to recover from — in this case — the swelling. When filling cheeks with your own fat, the recovery time is at least one week. The recovery time of a hyaluronic acid filler treatment, on the other hand, is much shorter — 1 day.
  • Working with fat isn't that reliable because you don't know exactly what happens to the volume. It is possible that 100% of the fat stays where it was injected, but this can also be only 30%. With hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, you know exactly that what you put in gives immediate results.
  • The last reason why Clinic Doctor Frodo chooses hyaluronic acid over lipofilling

is because the fat treatment is permanent. If the result is not satisfactory or there is an adverse reaction, you cannot reverse the treatment. In contrast, hyaluronic acid is always to be dissolved with the antidote hyasone. This makes injecting fillers with hyaluronic acid a safe and reliable remedy.
