What to Expect:
Before fat grafting, you will have a personal consultation with Dr. Bajaj to determine if fat grafting surgery is suitable for you.
During your fat grafting procedure, Dr. Bajaj will remove fatty tissue with minimally invasive liposuction. Fat is removed from a fat-rich part of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and is then cleaned and drained.
Dr. Bajaj will use a small needle to inject the fat into the area to be treated, usually into a muscle tissue, where a high concentration of blood vessels will nourish the fat. The whole procedure typically takes 30 minutes to an hour to perform, and can often be done in conjunction with other procedures, such as a face lift.
Recovery:
Recovery is generally quick, with minimal pain. But if you are experiencing any discomfort, Dr. Bajaj will prescribe a light narcotic, such as Tylenol with codeine. Sometimes fat injections can dissipate over time as the body can reabsorb certain amounts of fat. But, generally, the results tend to be long lasting or even permanent.
