Fat injection provides a natural fullness by offering a solution to all these problems with one’s own fat tissue.

The recovery period after fat injection is generally comfortable. Mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity may occur in the treated areas, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their daily routines within a week. Temporary discomfort may also be felt in the areas where fat was harvested, so a few days of rest is recommended.
Final results may take 3 to 6 months to fully develop, as some of the injected fat cells are naturally absorbed by the body. A second session may be required for permanent results. During this time, it is important for patients to avoid strenuous exercise, protect the treated areas from direct sunlight, and follow all post-procedure care instructions provided by the doctor.
Balanced nutrition and adequate water intake during recovery support faster tissue healing. Any temporary hardness or asymmetry in the treated area typically resolves over time.
The cost of fat injection varies depending on several factors, including the number of treatment areas, number of sessions, techniques used, and the experience of the physician. A single-area fat transfer will differ in price from combination procedures involving the face, buttocks, or hands. The condition of the donor area, duration of the procedure, and equipment used are also important cost-determining factors.
The location of the clinic and the quality of services offered also influence the pricing. In some cases, the need for additional sessions may increase the total cost. Since fat injection is a personalized procedure, providing a standard price is often misleading. A specialist consultation is essential for accurate pricing. During the consultation, the patient’s needs are assessed, and a detailed cost plan is prepared accordingly. This ensures an effective outcome that also suits the budget.
