Fat Transfer in Turkey

Consisting of two completely different procedures, extraction of fat called liposuction and transfer of fat through injections. Both the donor and recipient sites are sedated by giving local anesthesia. After this, fat is harvested through injections from the sites where adipocytes are tightly packed, such as the buttocks or abdomen. However, the fat present in lateral sides of the thighs and lower abdomen is also good fat as it contains a larger concentration of adipose-derived stem cells. These stem cells promote angiogenesis and adipogenesis at the recipient site - multiple injections are used to do this.

The material extracted is centrifuged, sedimented and filtered for excessive liquid and pure fat cells are injected just below the skin. This is the most difficult step of fat transfer to inject fat evenly in different layers of recipient tissue. Cannulas and syringes of different sizes are used to do this. In the case of breast augmentation, multiple fat injections are applied to the breasts. It is ensured that these fat cells are injected near a blood vessel so the cells don't die due to a lack of nutrition. Proper nutrition is needed for the cells to survive and grow.

As an outpatient procedure, just a couple of hours are needed depending upon the amount of fat that is to be removed and transferred. You can leave the hospital on the same day or sometimes an overnight stay is advised, and in some cases, more than one session is needed. You should stay in Turkey for at least 10-14 days after being discharged for regular check-ups. During this period, your health and results of the procedure are monitored by your surgeon.

The precise duration of your visit will primarily hinge on your personal situation, including the scope of your surgery, your total health condition, and your body's healing capability. It is always wise to engage in open dialogue with your surgeon about the anticipated period of your stay.

The recovery period is different for different areas of your body. After a buttock augmentation, you have to sleep on your stomach or keep standing for at least 4 weeks. Because sitting can dissipate the fat. The shape of the augmented area might appear irregular initially, it will get a proper contour after some time. There will be moderate swelling and bruising at both the donor and the recipient sites for 2 weeks. Your face might appear fat and plump after fat grafting but it will settle down before long. You might suffer from moderate pain for a few days. Pain killers are given to deal with this. Almost 6 months are required for the results to fully show.

Things to consider:

• Regular checkups after being discharged.
• Take your medicines regularly, as and when prescribed by the doctor. Avoid self-medication.
• Follow a healthy diet plan for a better recovery.
• Ensure the presence of a friend or family member with you in the early few days to help you with house chores.
• Avoid excessive movement during the early few weeks and do not sit on your butts in case of butt fat transfer because it can dissipate the fat rendering it ineffective.
• Look for the signs of blood clot formation, excessive bruising, etc. Visit your doctor immediately if you find any abnormal thing.

When exploring any health-related process, the success ratio becomes a key element to consider. The efficiency of the Fat Transfer in Turkey hinges upon various aspects such as proficiency and expertise of the surgeon, the health condition of the individual, and compliance to the guidelines of care after the operation. Fat transfer has been gaining fame due to its dual advantage of eliminating unnecessary fat from the body and accentuating preferred areas.

The outcomes of Fat Transfer show promising persistency. Many people have enjoyed pleasing results that lasted for a long span of time. Fat transfer for breast augmentation has increased by 76% in 2016 while for butt augmentation, a 26% increase has been witnessed. This approach also enjoys a commendable success ratio when it comes to patient satisfaction, with some researches revealing satisfaction percentages reaching up to 85%. It's however crucial to hold realistic anticipations, since factors like age, weight changes, and general health can sway the results. Regular consultations with your health provider are crucial for monitoring improvements and promptly dealing with any arising issues.

Fat grafting is an expensive technique as it consists of 2 different procedures. Following are some alternatives to it:

• Dermal fillers: these are given through injections to make your skin look plump. Sunken cheeks can be effectively corrected through this technique.
• Breast implants: for small breasts, implants are an alternative to fat grafting. A silicone implant is inserted into your breasts to increase their size.
• Breast reconstruction: cancer patients, who went through mastectomy can get their bust back by reconstructive surgery. 
• Tummy tuck: This procedure tightens your abdominal muscles giving them a tighter and flattened appearance.
• Liposuction: excessive fat is removed from different parts of your body through liposuction. Your tummy looks flatter and you look smarter after this procedure.
• Cheek augmentation: in this technique, silicone implants are inserted into your cheeks to make them look bigger and plump.

All of the techniques mentioned above involve only one procedure.
