The technique could be performed
isolated or in associations with other surgical procedures
(upper and lower blepharoplasty etc).
The fat liposuctioned is achieved
from the thighs (internal part) or from internal part
of the knees or abdomen with a small cannula and a
syringe, through an incision of approx. 0.4-0.5cm.
These small wounds are not closed and undergo spontaneous
healing. Sometimes it may be necessary to take the
fat from the abdomen through an incision about 2 –
4cm which is stitched afterwards. The stitches are
removed after 5 – 7 days. Fat must undergo only
minimal handling as it is a very sensitive trauma.
The fat is then cleaned with a special solution.
