Fat injection is a cosmetic operation that helps people who wish to improve the contour of their bodies. Unlike the temporary fillers, the correction that the fat injection operation provides is permanent. If you have excessive fat in an area of your body and you want to have it injected to another part of your body, then this is what you are looking for.
The procedure has many different ways of helping patients. First of all, you get rid of the fat that is excessive and undesired. And you can also have our doctors inject it into any area that you choose. These areas include the hands, face, buttocks, and breasts. So it is possible to have it as a breast augmentation operation if you wish.
The risk of having negative outcomes with this operation is very low. However, if you wish to achieve the optimal results after the operation, you should prepare properly. When you consult our facility, our doctors are going to inform you about the steps of the operation and how you need to prepare.
If you follow the instructions of your doctor, the results of the fat injection operation will be much more satisfying for you. And you will not have the risk of encountering any complications during or after the fat injection operation. We want to share some of the things you can do to have a smoother experience and a shorter recovery process.
No Alcohol, Cigarettes, or Recreational Drugs
Drinking alcohol is something that can increase the risk of having complications during the fat injection operation. This is because alcohol has a blood-thinning effect, which can pose risks during the operation. Besides, if you drink on the day of the fat injection operation, alcohol may interact with the anaesthetic medication, which will be used before the procedure. This will cause great risks for the operation.
On the other hand, cigarettes and other tobacco products have nicotine. Nicotine prolongs the healing process after the operation because it decreases the blood flow and makes it harder to heal well. It also weakens your immune system, which makes you more likely to have infections after the operation.
The same goes for recreational drugs since they have many harmful and unpredictable effects on your body. So you should stop smoking, drinking, and taking recreational drugs at least two weeks before the fat injection. And you should stay away from them for about one to two weeks after the operation as well.
Eat Healthy Foods and Hydrate Well
Another very important thing that you need to do before having a fat injection operation is having a healthy diet. You should avoid eating junk food and consume healthy vegetables, fruits, or protein-rich foods instead. Drinking a lot of water is also crucial for hydrating your body well. Remember that if you do not have the proper nutrition before the fat injection, you will be at a disadvantage. The healing process will take much longer for you than it normally should. But if you have a healthy diet and give your body the nutrients that it needs, your recovery process will be much quicker, and you will feel stronger after the operation.
