Facial Oil Injection Process

Fat injection to the face takes place in two stages. In the first stage, fat is taken from the donor area (abdomen, hip, arm, leg, etc.) with tiny cannulae. This oil is purified from body fluids by various methods and injected into the area planned to be treated in the second stage. This application is carried out between 30 and 60 minutes. During the procedure, people’s own body oils are used. However, the physician may be injured by additional filling material, if required.

While performing this very painless operation, the incision is not opened, so no stitches are made to close these incisions. For this reason, there is no incision scar in the treated area.
