Fat injection, performed by transferring excess fat from one area of the body to another, offers both natural and long-lasting results. Since the patient’s own tissue is used, the risk of allergic reactions is minimized, while at the same time providing a reliable solution for addressing volume loss and signs of aging.
With his patient-centered approach that prioritizes natural results, Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci helps his patients achieve rejuvenation, fullness, and harmonious aesthetics in both facial expressions and body contours.
What is Fat Injection?
Fat injection (lipofilling or lipoinjection) is a surgical technique in which a patient’s own excess fat is harvested from certain areas of the body and transferred to regions where volume is needed.
Fat cells are usually collected from areas with higher fat density such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, or hips, then carefully purified using special methods. These living fat cells are later injected into areas like the face, lips, breasts, or buttocks that require volume enhancement. In this way, a natural fullness is achieved, and since the patient’s own tissue is used, the procedure provides a safe and highly compatible aesthetic result. Fine cannulas are then used to transfer the purified fat to the targeted area, acting as a natural filler and reshaping the body’s contours.
Where Can Fat Injections Be Performed?
1. Facial Fat Injection
-
Enhancing cheekbones
-
Filling under-eye hollows
-
Softening nasolabial folds (smile lines)
-
Defining the jawline
-
Restoring overall facial volume and youthfulness
2. Lip Augmentation
Using the patient’s own fat for lip enhancement ensures a natural appearance and long-lasting results, setting it apart from other filler methods.
3. Breast Aesthetics
-
A natural alternative to silicone implants for breast augmentation
-
Correction of breast asymmetry
-
Improving deformities after surgery
4. Buttock Augmentation (BBL – Brazilian Butt Lift)
A highly popular procedure in recent years that creates fuller, lifted, and aesthetically appealing buttocks.
5. Hand Rejuvenation
With age, hands tend to lose volume and develop a bony, veiny look. Fat injection restores fullness, giving the hands a younger, healthier appearance.
Advantages of Fat Injection
The growing popularity of fat injection lies in its multiple benefits:
-
Natural Filler: Uses the patient’s own fat instead of synthetic fillers.
-
Long-Lasting Results: A large portion of the transferred fat becomes permanent with the right technique.
-
Dual Effect: While the donor area is slimmed, the injected area gains volume.
-
Minimal Risk of Allergy: Since it uses the patient’s own tissue, reactions are extremely rare.
-
Repeatable Procedure: If needed, the treatment can be performed again.
How is Fat Injection Performed?
Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci applies modern surgical techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable process.
-
Consultation & Planning: The patient’s needs are assessed to determine from which area fat will be harvested and where it will be injected.
-
Fat Harvesting (Liposuction): Fat is carefully removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, or thighs using special cannulas.
-
Purification of Fat: The collected fat is processed and purified with specialized equipment, a critical step for success.
-
Injection of Fat: The purified fat cells are meticulously transferred into the targeted area using fine cannulas for natural contouring.
Recovery After Fat Injection
-
Mild swelling and bruising may appear in the treated area during the first few days.
-
Initially, the area may feel more voluminous than expected, but this balances out as the fat cells adapt.
-
Swelling typically subsides within 2–3 weeks, and the permanent results become visible after 2–3 months.
-
Most patients can return to their daily activities within a short time.
Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci provides each patient with a personalized recovery plan to ensure natural and well-balanced outcomes.
Longevity of Fat Injection Results
One of the most frequently asked questions is how long fat injections last.
-
Around 40–60% of the injected fat becomes permanent.
-
The remaining portion may be gradually absorbed by the body.
-
With additional sessions, results can be strengthened and maintained for the long term.
