Fat Nanografting: Can It Cause Lumps?

The longevity and appearance following fat transfer is total dependant on proper technique. So the skill and experience of the injector is very important. I haven't had any lumps in years. If a lump should form it is easily treated. 

Nano fat grafting means getting the smallest fat unit possible and keep the fat cells alive. This is achieved by several methods: aspiration of the fat needs to be with a very small cannula, under very little negative pressure.Then the fluid and oil is removed, gentle centrifuge. Then the pure fat is passed from one syringe to another through a very small connector to break the clumps of fat cells into smaller units. The fat is then injected to the desired area, in the face it is preferable, safer to use a cannula. Again the cannula should be of small caliber. I use a 27 gauge. and deposit very small amounts as the cannula is withdrawn.This is done in several planes to prevent lumps.
