Fat Grafting Facial Rejuvenation

Organic Facial Rejuvenation

APPOINTMENT

WHAT it is:

Organic Facial Rejuvenation, or Facial Fat Grafting, is an in-office or surgical procedure depending on the level of rejuvenation the patient is seeking. Both options offer a more youthful appearance by using your bodies own fat to correct scars and areas of the face that have lost volume.

HOW it’s done:

Whether you are undergoing this procedure in-office or in the OR, the steps are pretty similar. The difference is the intensity at which it is being performed. As an overview, fat is removed from another site on the body with a needle. The fat is then cleaned so that only whole, undamaged fat cells are used. Finally those fat cells are injected into the targeted areas.

If done in-office, Dr. Politis typically likes to combine this with PRF.

WHAT to expect:

You may experience temporary pain, soreness, and numbness in the area(s) that have been treated

Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days but may last several weeks.

Expect the bruising to last up to 6 weeks, depending on your surgery.

Swelling and bruising are normal part of the recovery process and will begin to subside one or two weeks after surgery.

It is expected that your clothes will be tight for the first month or two after surgery. Intermittent swelling may persist for several months.

Your size and shape will continue to decrease each week.

Swelling following liposuction recedes rather slowly. It will take some time before the contour finalizes, usually between three and six months.

Pain and aches are normal especially the first week; this will decrease as bruising subsides.

TOO MUCH ACTIVITY IN THE IMMEDIATE POST OPERATIVE PERIOD WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE SWELLING AND POSSIBLE BLEEDING

AWAKE or ASLEEP

Take a nap with general anesthesia

Have all prescriptions filled prior to your surgery. Do not take any Aspirin, Plavix, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Coenzyme Q10 or medications containing these compounds for 14 days before your procedure.

Begin your stool softener on the day prior to surgery to avoid constipation.

Wash with Hibiclens or antibacterial soap the night before surgery, as directed. Cleanse your belly button area with a Qtip and the antibacterial soap while showering.
