What to Expect During a Fat Transfer to Face Procedure in Turkey?
Fat transfer to the face, also called fat grafting or autologous fat injection, is a natural, long-lasting procedure that enhances facial contours by transferring fat from your own body to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve overall facial balance.
✔ 100% natural filler – no synthetic substances
✔ Restores youthful volume & smooths wrinkles
✔ Longer-lasting than dermal fillers (3-5+ years)
✔ Performed by expert plastic surgeons in Turkey at affordable prices
💡 Turkey is one of the world’s top destinations for safe, effective, and affordable fat transfer procedures.
Pre-Procedure Consultation & Preparation
📌 Before your surgery, you will have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
✔ Facial Analysis & Treatment Plan: The surgeon will evaluate your facial volume loss, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.
✔ Donor Area Selection: Fat is usually taken from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks.
✔ Medical Evaluation: You may undergo blood tests and a general health assessment.
✔ Pre-Op Instructions:
- Stop smoking & alcohol at least 2-4 weeks before surgery to improve healing.
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements.
- Stay hydrated & follow a healthy diet to promote fat cell survival.
💡 Your surgeon will create a customized treatment plan based on your facial structure and desired results.
The Day of Surgery: Step-by-Step Procedure
📌 Fat transfer to the face is a minimally invasive procedure that takes about 1-2 hours.
Step 1: Anesthesia Administration
✔ The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia (depending on the amount of fat to be transferred).
Step 2: Fat Harvesting from Donor Area
✔ Fat is gently extracted from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks using liposuction.
✔ Advanced techniques like Vibrasat® or Body-Jet® liposuction are used for minimal damage to fat cells, ensuring a high survival rate.
Step 3: Fat Purification & Processing
✔ The extracted fat undergoes centrifugation & filtration to remove excess fluids and damaged fat cells.
✔ Some clinics use stem cell-enriched fat for better integration and longevity.
Step 4: Fat Injection into the Face
✔ Micro-cannula injections are used to precisely transfer the purified fat into target areas.
✔ The surgeon sculpts the face naturally to restore volume and improve contour.
Step 5: Recovery & Bandaging
✔ You will receive a light dressing or bandage on the donor area.
✔ There are no visible scars on the face, as only tiny injection points are used.
💡 Since fat is from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reactions or rejection!
Recovery & Healing Process After Fat Transfer
📌 Recovery is quick, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.
✔ Mild swelling & bruising in both the donor area and the face (subsides within 5-10 days).
✔ Minor discomfort or tightness, but no severe pain.
✔ Most patients return to work within 3-7 days after the procedure.
✔ Final results take 3-6 months, as some fat will naturally absorb while the remaining fat settles.
✔ Longevity: Results last 3-5+ years, with some fat permanently integrating.
💡 Proper post-care will enhance fat survival and ensure long-lasting results.
Post-Surgery Care & Recovery Tips
📌 Follow these guidelines for the best results and a smooth recovery.
What to Do:
✔ Sleep with head elevated for the first few nights to reduce swelling.
✔ Avoid touching or pressing on your face for at least 2 weeks.
✔ Stay hydrated & eat a healthy diet to help fat cells integrate.
✔ Use cold compresses to reduce swelling in the first 48 hours.
✔ Light walks help improve circulation and healing.
What to Avoid:
❌ No smoking or alcohol for at least 4 weeks (reduces fat survival rate).
❌ No heavy exercise for 2-3 weeks (to prevent swelling & complications).
❌ No direct sunlight for at least 6 weeks (to prevent pigmentation issues).
❌ No facial massages or pressure on treated areas for 2 weeks.
💡 Following these aftercare tips will improve fat retention and overall results.
Expected Results & Longevity
📌 Fat transfer results are semi-permanent, with long-term benefits.
✔ Natural-looking results: Soft, youthful, and well-blended contouring.
✔ 60-80% of the transferred fat survives permanently.
✔ Results last 3-5+ years, with touch-up sessions only needed occasionally.
✔ More durable than dermal fillers, which last 6-12 months.
💡 A good skincare routine, healthy diet, and avoiding smoking/alcohol can help maintain results for years.
