How do we handle this?

The first step is the removal of fat tissue from other parts of the body-abdomen, buttocks, thighs, through a needle attached to a syringe or a spike with a vacuum cleaner. That fat is processed to remove excess fluid and it is reinjected into the site you want to modify. Usually there is a sobrerrelleno to compensate for the absorption that occurs in the first few weeks.



What is the recovery?

After treatment may feel slight discomfort in the area intervened or place of extraction. The swelling and possible bruising usually disappear within a few days. In most white-skinned people may have a slight redness for a week. It is necessary to protect themselves from the sun the first 48 hours. You can use makeup and do not need to take precautions as to what we eat or drink. Being one's own body tissues removed, there is no rejection. Infections and complications are uncommon, however, no medical procedure is free from hazards.
