Lipo Transfer
- For fat injection, do you use fat taken from the thigh or the abdominal area?
- A common practice at many other clinics is to inject either fat collected from other body parts or CRF (condensed rich fat) after degreasing. At Theory Clinic, only 20% of the patients need more than the orbital fat pad collected from the under eye area. In our “degreasing and lipo transfer” treatment, we inject the collected fat pad from the under-eye area to adjust the S-shaped curves. We collect as little as 10cc. of fat from the thigh or abdominal area, only if a patient has large dents and needs a lot of fat to fill them. We do not use CRF for the following reasons: though the fat quality is high, about 50cc of fat needs to be collected from other body parts to create CRF, which is a lot of strain on the patient’s body; also CRF’s survival rate after injection is only about 10% higher than that of the orbital fat pad; furthermore, it is expensive yet there is no guarantee that the created CRF is enough for the treatment.
(Major reasons why Theory Clinic does not use CRF)
･ A large amount of fat needs to be collected from a patient’s body to create CRF.
･ Only 20% of our patients need more than the orbital fat pad collected from the under-eye area.
･ There is no guarantee that the created CRF is sufficient for the treatment.
･ The survival rate of the injected fat pad is high around the under-eye area. For breast enlargement, CRF injection is absolutely necessary since it needs a large amount of fat. (under one eye – 1 cc, in one breast – 300cc)
･ In case the injected orbital fat pad does not survive sufficiently, we redo the injection at small cost (Treatment Assurance). However, since only 2% of such patients decide to receive another fat injection, we think that using expensive CRF injection that causes so much strain on the patient’s body has little benefit.
