Many women are looking for innovative ways to regain their youth and vitality. Autologous Facial Fat Injections have become one of the most prominent cosmetic options as a natural alternative to artificial fillers. Therefore, in this article, I will share with you my experience with Facial Fat Injection, which not only changed the appearance of my face but also restored my self-confidence and ignited a new spark of happiness in my life.
Autologous Facial Fat Injections
Autologous Facial Fat Injection is a cosmetic procedure used to fill the face and improve its appearance by using fat extracted from the patient’s own body. This method is considered a natural alternative to artificial fillers and provides relatively natural and permanent results. However, from my experience with this procedure, it is important to consult a specialist doctor such as Dr. Yasser Badi to ensure safe and satisfactory results.
How to perform Facial Fat Injections
From my experience with facial fat injection, fat is extracted from a specific area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques, and then the extracted fat is processed to purify it and prepared for injection.
Finally, the fat is injected into the targeted facial areas, such as the cheeks, lips, or under-eye area.
What does the face look like after fat injection?
Before l told you about my experience with facial fat injection, Dr. Yasser Badi explained that after performing autologous facial fat injection, the appearance of the face can change significantly, as:
- At first, the face may appear noticeably fuller and tighter due to the nature of the injected fat.
- After that, some swelling and bruising appear in the treated area after the injection. This is normal, and these symptoms usually disappear within a few days.
- Facial appearance begins gradually to stabilize and the final results begin to appear. Results can continue to improve over the first week or more as bloating decreases.
- You will notice that the injected fat gives a natural appearance, making the face appear fuller and more vibrant without any artificial appearance.
Features and benefits of autologous Facial Fat Injections
From my experience with Facial Fat Injection, there are many benefits that the patient obtains when performing this procedure, the most important of which are:
- Since the fat is taken from the patient’s own body, it adapts well to the surrounding tissues and gives natural results.
- Unlike temporary fillers, the results of Facial Fat Injections can last longer.
- In addition to improving facial appearance, excess fat is eliminated from targeted areas such as the abdomen and buttocks.
Potential risks of autologous Facial Fat Injections
Although there are some harms to self-fat injections, from my experience with Facial Fat Injection, it’s very safe if compared with facial fillers, since its risks can be avoided and reduced. The most prominent of these harms are:
- Lumps form in the injected area if the fat is not injected correctly.
- Swelling or bruising may occur in the injection areas, but it usually goes away quickly.
- Risk of infection as with any surgical procedure.
Are autologous Facial Fat Injections permanent?
From my experience with facial fat injection, autologous fat injection is a popular option in the world of cosmetics, so Dr. Yasser Badi explains that the sustainability of the injection results is as follows:
- Some of the injected fat may remain in the targeted area for a long time, but not all of the fat will remain. Usually, about 50-70% of the injected fat remains for a long time.
- Like any cosmetic procedure, the results of fat injection may be affected by natural factors such as aging, changes in weight, as well as lifestyle habits.
- Lifestyle, diet, and smoking all affect how stable the results are.
- The use of proper techniques by a professional surgeon can help improve the results and duration of injections.

Facial plastic surgery
Facial plastic surgery includes a variety of procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the face and modifying its features, but it is important to consult a specialist doctor to determine the appropriate option based on individual goals and expectations. Based on my experience with the best plastic surgeon, here are the most prominent of these operations:

It aims to tighten sagging skin and reduce wrinkles, giving the face a more youthful appearance
Facial filler injections
They are used to fill wrinkles, enhance the lips, or add volume to the cheeks, and they also include substances such as hyaluronic acid.

Rhinoplasty
It aims to modify the shape of the nose, whether for cosmetic or medical purposes.

This procedure involves removing excess skin or fat from the upper and lower eyelids to improve appearance or vision.
Chin Augmentation
The goal of this procedure is to change the shape and size of the chin using filler injections.

Otoplasty
The goal of this procedure is to correct the shape of protruding or attached ears.
When do the results of facial filler appear?
Dr. Yasser Badi confirms that the results of facial filler injections usually appear quickly, but from my experience with facial fat injections, some factors affect the clarity of these results, which are:
- Immediately after the injection procedure, you may notice an improvement in the appearance of the treated area. There may also be some swelling or bruising, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few days.
- Results continue to improve over the first week after treatment, as the body gets rid of any swelling and the filler begins to settle.
- The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, as it can range from 6 months to two years, and some types of filler dissolve faster than others.
Tips after autologous fat injection to the face
After my experience with facial fat injections, there are some tips that Dr. Yasser Badi gave me to ensure I get the best results and avoid any complications. These tips are:
- Make sure to get enough rest after the procedure, and avoid strenuous physical activities for 24-48 hours.
- Avoid pressing or rubbing the treated area, as this can affect the distribution of fat.
- Stay away from heat sources such as saunas, steam baths, or direct exposure to the sun for two weeks after the injection.
- You can use cold compresses on the face to reduce swelling and bruising but avoid applying them directly to the skin.
- Make sure to drink adequate amounts of water to help promote recovery.
