Structural Fat Grafting of the Face | Surgery Spotlight-Local or Tumescent Injection

Local or Tumescent Injection

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The process of structural fat grafting involves using lidocaine and adrenaline as local anesthesia, infiltrated into incision sites and areas to be harvested. For larger areas, a different concentration is used. Small incisions are made to infiltrate the anesthetic, typically matching the amount of fat to be harvested. The system allows for continuous syringe filling during anesthesia infiltration. A second incision provides additional access, with plastic sheeting to reduce friction during harvest. A cannula with small side ports is utilized for anesthetic infiltration to ease the process.
