Lipofilling of the lacrimal sulcus is a safe and low-traumatic surgery on the face, the essence of which is that fat is taken from one part of the patient’s body and is evenly introduced and distributed through the micro-cannula to the nasal cavity; thus, this recess is filled and visually smoothen – the bags and circles under the eyes completely disappear.
Advantages of lipofilling of the lacrimal sulci
Own extracted fat, which is transplanted during lipofilling is settled down quickly and without complications. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you should not be afraid of pain. The other advantages can be identified relying on the practice of performing out this procedure and the numerous reviews of patients:
- 3D-modeling of the face before the operation;
- no scars and stitches due to the small size of punctures;
- easy and fast recovery period without complications – the final results can be assessed after 2 months;
- uniform distribution of fat in the problem area.
After this procedure, practically no special rehabilitation is required – the maximum possible side effects of the patient – the appearance of small edemas and bruises that disappear in a week.
The lacrimal sulci lipfilling process
The first step is lipoaspiration. Lipoaspiration is the process of collecting fat tissue, usually from the abdomen. Fat tissue cells settle down well in a new place in the face. The process of pulling out the necessary fibers is carried out with the thinnest needles having several holes (cannulas). The size of the cells taken depends on the diameter of the holes on the needle – in this case, the smallest are preferable for facial plastic surgery.
Next follows the preparation of the collected material. Natural fat is enriched with platelet autoplasma; thus, the body activates the processes of rejuvenation of cells and tissues. The enriched mix evenly filled the problem areas of the face. At this stage of the operation, even smaller needles are used – micro-cannulas. A true master of surgery is able to insert a needle under the patient’s skin and fill the cavities without damaging a single nerve or vessel. Due to the fact that its own fat is not removed by the body from the treated area, the result of the operation will be visible for the rest of your life.
Indications
Lipofilling is recommended in such cases where there is no need for plastics on the entire surface of the face. By filling the hollows with their own fat, the necessary volume is given to the problem zone only. The main indication for this operation is the visually unappealing pronounced tear grooves, which appear as a result of the skin and muscle tissues aging. Also, the procedure is performed with a lack of fat that appeared after the plastics of the lower eyelid.
Contraindications
This operation also has a number of contraindications:
- diabetes;
- bleeding disorders;
- atherosclerosis;
- symptoms of hypertension;
- oncological formations.
For a successful lipofilling it is necessary to stop using aspirin and dipyrone two weeks before, as well as hormonal drugs and other drugs that affect blood clotting. The operation cannot be performed in the presence of a viral infection or injury and inflammation in the working area of the skin.
