fettinsprängning

Fettinsprängning, also known as fat injection or fat grafting, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure involving the transfer of fat from one part of the body to another. It is commonly used to improve volume and contour in areas such as the face, hands, and buttocks. The technique involves harvesting fat through liposuction, purifying it, and then carefully injecting it into targeted areas to achieve desired aesthetic or reconstructive outcomes.

The procedure is considered minimally invasive and offers the advantage of using the patient’s own tissue, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Fat is typically collected from areas with excess fat deposits, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. After processing, the purified fat is injected using fine cannulas into the area requiring augmentation. The natural nature of the material often results in a more natural look and feel compared to synthetic fillers.

Fettinsprängning can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. It has become increasingly popular due to its dual functionality of body contouring and facial rejuvenation. However, results can vary, and some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time, necessitating additional procedures for maintaining the desired volume.

Potential risks include infection, swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or uneven fat absorption. Proper patient selection and technique are essential to optimize results and minimize complications. Overall, fettinsprängning is regarded as a versatile and natural option for enhancing volume and contour, contributing to both aesthetic and reconstructive goals in cosmetic surgery.
