Researching a Face Fat Injection Turkey All Inclusive package is an excellent step for patients seeking a natural and long-lasting alternative to temporary fillers. This guide explains the procedure, safety, and realistic expectations regarding fat survival.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning
Patients often believe fat injection is ‘100% permanent’ because it’s ‘your own fat.’ This is incorrect. The procedure is a transplant; not all cells survive. A significant portion of the injected fat (30-50%) is expected to be reabsorbed by your body in the first 3-6 months. This is not a complication; it is a normal, expected outcome. Therefore, the surgeon must overfill (over-correct) you to compensate. You will look ‘puffy’ or ‘overfilled’ for the first few weeks. This is the only way to achieve a good long-term result.
Facial Fat Grafting vs. Dermal Fillers: A Comparison
| Feature | Facial Fat Grafting (Surgical) | Dermal Fillers (Non-Surgical) |
|---|---|---|
| Source: | Your own body fat (autologous) | Hyaluronic Acid (synthetic gel) |
| Result Duration: | Long-lasting / “Permanent” (only the surviving fat) | Temporary (6-18 months) |
| Procedure: | Surgical (Lipo + Injection). Requires anesthesia. | Non-surgical (In-office injection) |
| Downtime: | Significant (1-3 weeks of swelling/bruising) | Minimal (24-48 hours) |
| Key Trade-Off: | Unpredictable survival rate (30-50% loss) | Permanent maintenance (lifelong cost) |
Potential Risks & Realistic Expectations
We must be transparent: there is no ‘guaranteed’ fat survival rate. Some patients may absorb more than 50% and may require a second ‘touch-up’ session (which may cost extra). This is not a failure; it is a known limitation of the procedure. Other risks include (but are not limited to) infection, asymmetry (if one side absorbs more), lumps (fat necrosis), and (in rare cases) fat embolism. We cannot ‘guarantee’ a specific 2026 cost. The realistic expectation is a natural, long-lasting volume improvement after the initial swelling and reabsorption phase.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the average Face Fat Injection cost in Turkey?
The estimated ‘all-inclusive’ facial fat grafting cost in Turkey (Istanbul) typically ranges from €1,800 to €3,500, depending on the extent of grafting.
What is included in an ‘all-inclusive’ package?
A safe package includes the surgeon’s fee, JCI-accredited hospital fees, anesthesia/sedation, hotel accommodation, and all airport/clinic transfers.
Is facial fat grafting permanent?
The fat cells that survive the transfer (typically 50-70%) are permanent, but a significant portion will be reabsorbed by the body.
What is the survival rate of fat grafting?
A realistic expectation is that 50% to 70% of the injected fat will survive; this is not a guaranteed number and varies by patient.
Will I look too puffy after?
Yes, you will look intentionally “overfilled” or “puffy” for the first 1-3 weeks, as the surgeon must over-correct to account for the expected fat loss.
Is fat grafting safer than fillers?
It is a different procedure with different risks; it is surgical (requires lipo) but uses your own tissue, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction to synthetic fillers.
When can I fly home after facial fat transfer?
Patients are typically cleared to fly 7-10 days post-op, after the main swelling has subsided and the surgeon has performed a final check.
What are the main facial fat transfer risks?
The main risks are unpredictable (low) fat survival, asymmetry (uneven absorption), and the formation of hard lumps (fat necrosis).
How long does face fat injection last?
The results from the surviving fat cells are considered permanent, though they will still age naturally with you.
